ABSTRACT Cancer is a result of uncontrolled cell growth with the potential to damage or spread to another part of the body. It is the deadliest disease in the world; therefore, rapid and sensitive detection is essential to fight it. In the past few decades, many diagnosis tools have been developed to detect cancer and monitor therapy progress.

Codominance and toxins: A path to drugs of nearly unlimited selectivity [PDF]
The effectiveness of drugs is often limited by their insufficient selectivity. I propose designs of therapeutic agents that address this problem. The key feature of these reagents, termed comtoxins (codominance-mediated toxins), is their ability to ...

Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Recombinant Human Deoxyribonuclease I [PDF]
Human deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is an endonuclease that catalyzes the hydrolysis of extracellular DNA and is just one of the numerous types of nucleases found in nature. The enzymatic mechanism for a single turnover is reasonably well understood based on biochemical and structural studies that are consistent with divalent metal ion dependent ...

Generation, Mutagenesis, and Removal of Mini-F Sequences [PDF]
Maintenance and manipulation of large DNA and RNA virus genomes had presented an obstacle for virological research. BAC vectors provided a solution to both problems as they can harbor large DNA sequences and can efficiently be modified using well ...

Restriction-modification system with methyl-inhibited base excision and abasic-site cleavage activities [PDF]
The restriction-modification systems use epigenetic modification to distinguish between self and nonself DNA. A modification enzyme transfers a methyl group to a base in a specific DNA sequence while its cognate restriction enzyme introduces breaks in ...

Neutrophil activation in beta‐lactams (BL) immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHR). Factor component analysis of IHR biomarkers suggests an IgG‐mediated mechanism. We propose Neutrophil Elastase as a biomarker of neutrophil activation in BL IHR. ABSTRACT Background Beta‐lactams (BLs) are the predominant cause of immediate allergic reactions to drugs.
