Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Genomic fingerprints of Escherichia coli strains isolated from surface water in Alborz province, Iran

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background Consistent use of suitable diagnostic methods is essential to evaluate the genomic diversity of E. coli strains. Advance of efficient methods to discriminate the causes of E. coli in aquatic environments is important.

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Identification of surface proteins in a clinical Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolate by bacterial surface shaving

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background The skin commensal Staphylococcus haemolyticus is an emerging nosocomial pathogen. Despite its clinical relevance, published information about S. haemolyticus virulence factors is scarce.

Characterisation of dairy strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a genomics insight into its growth and survival during dairy manufacture : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
The thermophilic bacilli, such as G. stearothermophilus, are an important group of contaminants in the dairy industry. Although these bacilli are generally not pathogenic, their presence in dairy products is an indicator of poor hygiene and high numbers ...

Influence of cementless hip stems on femoral cortical strain pattern depending on their extent of porous coating [PDF]

, 2012
The extent of porous coating of cementless total hip stems is held responsible for radiological periprosthetic changes, the rate of thigh pain, and even its long-term success.

Adsorption–strain coupling at solid surfaces

Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, 2019
This brief review inspects how chemistry or electrochemistry at a solid vapor or solid electrolyte interface couple to the mechanics of the solid. Emphasis is on the complementarity of two at first sight unrelated phenomena: on the one hand, adsorption or electric charging change the local tangential stresses in the solid surface; on the other hand,

Compressive strain formation in surface-damaged crystals

Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2020
The mechanism of formation of residual strain in crystals with a damaged surface has been studied by transmission electron microscopy in GaAs wafers ground with sandpaper. The samples showed a dislocation network located near the sample surface penetrating to a depth of a few micrometres, comparable to the size of abrasive particles used for the ...
