BACKGROUND/AIMS Resistance to genotoxic therapy is a characteristic feature of glioma cells. Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) hydrolyzes sphingomyelin to ceramide and glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) catalyzes ceramide metabolism. Increased ceramide levels have been suggested to enhance chemotherapy-induced death of cancer cells. METHODS Microarray and clinical data for ASM and GCS in astrocytomas ...

Mercury’s Debussy Quadrangle (H14) lies between 0–90° E and 22.5–65° S. Here we use MESSENGER data to produce the first geological map of this quadrangle at a scale 1:3,000,000, based on linework completed 1:300,000. We distinguish crater units plains units. For compatibility with historic recent maps other Mercury quadrangles, global (Main Map), have made two versions map, craters classified a...
