Ferrichrome identified from induces apoptosis through its iron-binding site in gastric cancer cells
Ferrichrome is known to be a siderophore, but it was recently identified as a tumor-suppressive molecule derived from Lactobacillus casei ATCC334 ( L. casei ). In the present study, we investigated the effects of ferrichrome in gastric cancer cells. Cell

Poly(Adenosine Diphosphate Ribose) Synthesis during Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
Immediately after infection of baby hamster kidney cells with herpes simplex virus (HSV), cellular DNA synthesis was blocked, while extensive HSV DNA synthesis began. These dramatic alterations of the control mechanisms for these two DNA synthesizing systems were not accompanied by a change in the poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase activity.
