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 ...

Pancreatic Necrosis and Acute Pancreatitis
With reference to 115 cases of acute pancreatitis which were either operated on or confirmed, the authors stress the seriousness of the lesion to the glandular parenchyma; it is also difficult to recognise during peroperative exploration. The necrosis, which is sometimes limited to the peripheral and interstitial tissue, sparing the gland itself (its ...
