Methotrexate Is a JAK/STAT Pathway Inhibitor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The JAK/STAT pathway transduces signals from multiple cytokines and controls haematopoiesis, immunity and inflammation. In addition, pathological activation is seen in multiple malignancies including the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).

On the Mechanism of Action of Aminopterin.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1950
SummaryRat liver slices form from synthetic folic acid (PGA) a factor (CF) utilized for growth by Leuconostoc citrovorum; this conversion is inhibited by aminopterin. In rats given PGA, a similar inhibition of the synthesis of CF is shown by a marked decrease in the urinary excretion of CF following the administration of aminopterin. The antagonist not

Introducing Borsantrazole: A Trifunctional Boron‐Based Pyrazole That Extends the Lifespan of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein we report a boron‐based pyrazole, (Borsantrazole ‐ a small molecule that selectively targets oxidative stress) that significantly increases survival, reduces weight loss, delays disease onset, and affects global protein changes in the SOD1‐G37R mouse model of ALS.

No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to Brazilian isolates of bovine viral diarrhea virus

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
Three Brazilian isolates of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), antigenically distinct from the standard North American isolates, were selected to immunize BALB/c mice in order to obtain hybridoma cells secreting anti-BVDV monoclonal antibodies (mAbs ...

Unexpected Acute Toxicity of Aminopterin [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1964
THIS communication records the occurrence of a somewhat unusual form of acute toxicity which was observed in the course of an experiment designed to investigate the possible carcinogenicity of aminopterin. As part of this investigation aminopterin (C grade) (California Corporation for Biochemical Research, Los Angeles) was examined in new-born mice ...

Abortion—A brief description of the evolution of methods

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Termination of pregnancy is not a “modern” societal issue, but one that has been afforded to women, albeit with varying degrees of success, over many centuries. Methods have evolved which have increased the availability, effectiveness, and safety of abortion, while substantially reducing associated morbidity.
