Optimization of macromolecular prodrugs of the antitumor antibiotic adriamycin [PDF]
In our earlier work [10] on aminoribosyl-bound prodrugs of adriamycin (ADR) using poly(α-l-glutamic acid) (PGA) grafted in high yield (90–100 mol.%) with various peptide spacers as a plasma-soluble macromolecular carrier we observed rather low cytotoxic ...

MicroRNA regulation of type 2 innate lymphoid cell homeostasis and function in allergic inflammation. [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert powerful effects on immunity through coordinate regulation of multiple target genes in a wide variety of cells. Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are tissue sentinel mediators of allergic inflammation.
