Big punches come in nanosizes for chemoprevention.
Literature to support the chemopreventive potential of several bioactive molecules has been prolific and convincing, but the clinical development of these agents has been slow. Major hurdles for development of bioactive chemoprevention approaches include low potency, lack of reliable formulations with high bioavailability that are suitable for oral administration, and relevant preclinical prima...
متن کاملDelivering Three Punches to Knockout Intracellular Bacteria
Cytotoxic lymphocytes kill bacteria-infected cells, but the mechanisms at work remain unclear. Walch et al. show that these lymphocytes deliver a toxic molecular trio in a two-step process, penetrating first the infected cells and then delivering bactericidal granzymes into the intracytoplasmic bacteria.
متن کاملGlutamate Pays Its Own Way in Astrocytes
In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that glutamate can be oxidized for energy by brain astrocytes. The ability to harvest the energy from glutamate provides astrocytes with a mechanism to offset the high ATP cost of the uptake of glutamate from the synaptic cleft. This brief review focuses on oxidative metabolism of glutamate by astrocytes, the specific pathways involved in the complete oxi...
متن کاملSpeech Finds its Way in Navigation Systems
In this white paper, Nuance examines how speech is redefining the way people interface with personal navigation devices (PNDs). As PNDs grow in popularity and gain recognition as essential tools for today's mobile consumer market, speech can add considerable value in terms of both safety and ease of use. In this paper, we explore how speech can be used to simplify information input, provide aud...
متن کاملA virus in a fungus in a plant: three-way symbiosis required for thermal tolerance.
A mutualistic association between a fungal endophyte and a tropical panic grass allows both organisms to grow at high soil temperatures. We characterized a virus from this fungus that is involved in the mutualistic interaction. Fungal isolates cured of the virus are unable to confer heat tolerance, but heat tolerance is restored after the virus is reintroduced. The virus-infected fungus confers...
