Combination treatment with recombinant methioninase enables temozolomide to arrest a BRAF V600E melanoma in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse model. [PDF]
An excessive requirement for methionine termed methionine dependence, appears to be a general metabolic defect in cancer. We have previously shown that cancer-cell growth can be selectively arrested by methionine deprivation such as with recombinant ...

Experimental Drugs and Combination Therapy
The worldwide increase in tuberculosis, the additional problem of increasing multiple drug resistance (MDR) and the primary resistance of Mycobacterium avium requires new strategies in drug development and in therapy. The reason for development of MDR is manifold. One important factor is the change in cell wall construction which limits the penetration

Olmesartan-based monotherapy vs combination therapy in hypertension: A meta-analysis based on age and chronic kidney disease status. [PDF]
Antihypertensive monotherapy is often insufficient to control blood pressure (BP). Several recent guidelines advocate for initial combination drug therapy in many patients. This meta-analysis of seven randomized, double-blind studies (N = 5888) evaluated
