Immunoablation of cells expressing the NG2 chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan [PDF]
YesExpression of the transmembrane NG2 chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (CSPG) defines a distinct population of NG2-glia. NG2-glia serve as a regenerative pool of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the adult central nervous system (CNS), which is ...

IL-13Rα2 Status Predicts GB-13 (IL13.E13K-PE4E) Efficacy in High-Grade Glioma
High-grade gliomas (HGG) are devastating diseases in children and adults. In the pediatric population, diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) harboring H3K27 alterations are the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumors. With no effective therapies available,

Engineering and production of recombinant bovine pancreatic ribonuclease enzyme (RNase A) as a potential therapeutic [PDF]
Objective Immunotoxins are one of the most promising ways in therapeutic fields, specially cancer therapy which have a unique toxin-antibody structure, and kill the cancer cell by passing through the cell membrane and entering the target cell.

A prelude report on molecular docking of HER2 protein towards comprehending anti-cancer properties of saponins from Solanum tuberosum [PDF]
Saponins are extensively known for many biological activities e.g. antimicrobial, anti-palatability, anti-cancer and hemolytic. As cancer cells have a more cholesterol-like compound in their membrane structure the saponins bind cholesterol due to their ...
