Chemical approaches for the enhancement of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy and photodiagnosis

Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2018
The administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to generate enhanced intracellular levels of endogenous porphyrins is currently one of the most important approaches for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodiagnosis (PDD).

Relative Exchangeable Copper Confirms Wilson Disease and Supports Reclassification of the ATP7B p.Met665Ile Variant With Conflicting Pathogenicity Evidence

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by ATP7B mutations. Diagnosis is usually straightforward in symptomatic patients, but can be challenging in children and adolescents with mild liver disease, borderline urinary copper excretion, or inconclusive genetic findings.

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma‐Risk Factors, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) usually originates from the precancerous lesions of oral mucosa and accounts for approximately 90% of oral cancers. In‐depth understanding of pathogenesis, hallmarks, and etiological factors is a crucial prerequisite for advancing the diagnosis and treatment for OSCC patients. This review aims to present the

Accumulation of heme biosynthetic intermediates contributes to the antibacterial action of the metalloid tellurite

Nature Communications, 2017
The mechanisms of action of the antibacterial metalloid tellurite are unclear. Here, the authors show that tellurite induces an accumulation of hydroxyl radical and intermediates of heme biosynthesis inE.
