[ 1 ] - In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity of a Lactococcus lactis Antimicrobial Peptide Against Breast Cancer Cells
Background: Nisin, an effective natural food preservative, is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis. Although it has been mainly studied and developed as a potential alternative for antibiotics, other pharmacological effects of the nisin including cytotoxic and anti-tumor activity have been attracted many attentions.Objectives: Here, we ...
[ 2 ] - High-yield Production of Granulocyte-macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor in E. coli BL21 (DE3) By an Auto-induction Strategy
A novel strategy to increase protein expression yield is unintended induction of expression in complex media, called auto-induction. This method can be used to express proteins under control of the lac promoter without any need to monitor bacterial growth pattern, and addition of specific expression inducers such as Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at proper time. In the present stu...

[ 4 ] - Lipid Nanocapsules for Imatinib Delivery: Design, Optimization and Evaluation of Anticancer Activity Against Melanoma Cell Line
Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) represent a stable, biocompatible and worthwhile drug delivery system, demonstrating significant potential as gene/drug delivery platforms for cancer therapy. Imatinib, a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has revolutionized the therapy of malignancies resulting from abnormal tyrosine kinase activity. However, its Clinical effectiveness in cancer treatment is h...
