Exploring the Role of Acrylamide in Food Allergy via Dendritic Cell‐Dependent Th2 Immune Responses
Acrylamide may disrupt immune tolerance as a foodborne immunotoxicant, priming allergic inflammatory susceptibility through DC‐dependent Th2/Th17 polarization, TLR4/NF‐κB signaling amplification, and IL‐10 production suppression. ABSTRACT Acrylamide (AA), a prevalent food processing contaminant with recognized multi‐organ toxicity, has an unexplored ...

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 ...

Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]
Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Immunotoxins Targeting B cell Malignancy—Progress and Problems With Immunogenicity
Few immunotoxins or targeted toxins have become mainline cancer therapies. Still immunotoxins continue to be of major interest and subject of research and development as alternative therapies for drug resistant cancer. A major matter of concern continues

Chemoresistance of renal cell carcinoma: 1986-1994 [PDF]
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in a variety of human tumors such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is thought to be caused by expression of the mdr1 gene and may be reversed by applying chemosensitizers such as Dexverapamil that inhibit the mdr1 gene product P ...

Dianthin and Its Potential in Targeted Tumor Therapies [PDF]
Dianthin enzymes belong to ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) of type 1, i.e., they only consist of a catalytic domain and do not have a cell binding moiety.
