Preliminary qualitative screening for cancer chemopreventive agents in Telfairia occidentalis Hook.f., Gnetum africanum Welw., Gongronema latifolium Benth. and Ocimum gratissimum L. from Nigeria [PDF]
The leaves of four plant foods commonly consumed in Nigeria namely Gnetum africanum (Igbo name: Ukazi), Gongronema latifolium (Igbo name: Utazi), Telfairia occidentalis (Igbo name: Ugu), Ocimum gratissimum (Igbo name: Nchoanwu), were each screened for ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Conical Paper Chromatography [PDF]
A CIRCULAR filter paper suitable for partition paper chromatography is cut so that it can be made into a cone. A number of origins are marked at adequate intervals near the lower edge, the standard and unknown solutions are dropped on these origins (see Fig. 1) and chromatographic development allowed to take place in an upward direction.

EMT‐associated bias in the Parsortix® system observed with pancreatic cancer cell lines
The Parsortix® system was tested for CTC enrichment using pancreatic cancer cell lines with different EMT phenotypes. Spike‐in experiments showed lower recovery of mesenchymal‐like cells. This was confirmed with an EMT‐inducible breast cancer cell line.

Revised paper: Neonicotinoids as a potential threat to honey: Development of liquid chromatography methods for their determination [PDF]
There is an increasing interest on neonicotinoid residues determination in honey samples because they are banned by European Union. Their determination is based on liquid chromatography analytical methods and, therefore, the aim of this study was to ...

Emission of reactive oxygen species during degradation of iron gall ink [PDF]
Iron gall inks are characterised by high contents of acids and transition metals, promoting degradation of cellulose due to hydrolysis and oxidation, respectively. Their chemical interaction with the environment is not well understood, especially in view

A Monomer-to-Trimer Transition of the Human Mitochondrial Transcription Termination Factor (mTERF) Is Associated with a Loss of in Vitro Activity [PDF]
The human mitochondrial transcription termination factor (mTERF) is a nuclear-encoded 39-kDa protein that recognizes a mtDNA segment within the mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) gene immediately adjacent to and downstream of the 16 S rRNA gene. Binding of mTERF

AZD9291 has shown promise in targeted cancer therapy but is limited by resistance. In this study, we employed metabolic labeling and LC–MS/MS to profile time‐resolved nascent protein perturbations, allowing dynamic tracking of drug‐responsive proteins. We demonstrated that increased NNMT expression is associated with drug resistance, highlighting NNMT ...
