Baseline survey of root-associated microbes of Taxus chinensis (Pilger) Rehd. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Taxol (paclitaxel) a diterpenoid is one of the most effective anticancer drugs identified. Biosynthesis of taxol was considered restricted to the Taxus genera until Stierle et al.

Length-dependent disassembly maintains four different flagellar lengths in Giardia. [PDF]
, 2019 With eight flagella of four different lengths, the parasitic protist Giardia is an ideal model to evaluate flagellar assembly and length regulation. To determine how four different flagellar lengths are maintained, we used live-cell quantitative imaging ...

Sulfo-SMCC Prevents Annealing of Taxol-Stabilized Microtubules In Vitro [PDF]
, 2016 Microtubule structure and functions have been widely studied in vitro and in cells. Research has shown that cysteines on tubulin play a crucial role in the polymerization of microtubules.

Highly efficient synthesis of the tricyclic core of Taxol by cascade metathesis [PDF]
, 2014 An efficient enantioselective synthesis of the ABC tricyclic core of the anticancer drug Taxol is reported. The key step of this synthesis is a cascade metathesis reaction, which leads in one operation to the required tricycle if appropriate fine-tuning ...

Human GM3 Synthase Attenuates Taxol-Triggered Apoptosis Associated with Downregulation of Caspase-3 in Ovarian Cancer Cells [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Taxol (paclitaxel) inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells, but it also upregulates cytoprotective proteins and/or pathways that compromise its therapeutic efficacy.

A permeabilized cell model for studying cell division: a comparison of anaphase chromosome movement and cleavage furrow constriction in lysed PtK1 cells. [PDF]
, 1981 After lysis in a Brij 58-polyethylene glycol medium, PtK1 cells are permeable to small molecules, such as erythrosin B, and to proteins, such as rhodamine-labeled FAB, myosin subfragment-1, and tubulin.

Lysophosphatidate induces chemo-resistance by releasing breast cancer cells from taxol-induced mitotic arrest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Taxol is a microtubule stabilizing agent that arrests cells in mitosis leading to cell death. Taxol is widely used to treat breast cancer, but resistance occurs in 25-69% of patients and it is vital to understand how Taxol resistance develops to improve ...
