The growth responses of 5-deoxy-5-methylthioribose on a 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase containing cell line (BW5147) and the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase-deficient cell line (L1210D) were examined. Methylthioribose was shown to dramatically affect these cells, increasing their growth rate, saturation density, and viability. It was also found that methylthioribose could satis...

Introduction: In recent years, bismuth-based nanomaterials have been widely used in medical researches as imaging, drug delivery and x-ray radiosensitizing agents. Due to their anti-microbial effects against Helicobacter pylori (HP), bismuth colloidal compounds are used to treat various types of diseases such as chronic gastritis. Despite their advantages, bismuth-based compoun...
