La farmacogenetica dei farmaci antitumorali [PDF]
La variabilità individuale nella risposta ai farmaci è molto importante in quanto può condizionare la riuscita di un trattamento farmacologico ed è dovuta, in gran parte, al profilo genetico.

Characterization of a membrane-bound C-glucosyltransferase responsible for carminic acid biosynthesis in Dactylopius coccus Costa [PDF]
Carminic acid is a widely applied red colorant that is still harvested from insects because its biosynthesis is not fully understood. Here, the authors identify and characterize a membrane-bound C-glucosyltransferase catalyzing the final step during ...

mtDNA depletion confers specific gene expression profiles in human cells grown in culture and in xenograft [PDF]
Background Interactions between the gene products encoded by the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes play critical roles in eukaryotic cellular function. However, the effects mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels have on the nuclear transcriptome have not been ...
