Stromal depletion goes on trial in pancreatic cancer.
F or decades, surgeons and pathologists have likened pancreatic tumors to rocks. That’s because a dense, fibrotic mass called the stroma surrounds the cancer cells in the tumor. Such stroma, consisting of connective tissue, fibroblasts, leukocytes, and blood vessels, accompanies most solid tumors, but its extent and compactness are exceptional in pancreatic cancer. And since pancreatic cancer i...
متن کاملHsp90 chaperones wild-type p53 tumor suppressor protein.
Immortalized human fibroblasts were used to investigate the putative interactions of the Hsp90 molecular chaperone with the wild-type p53 tumor suppressor protein. We show that geldanamycin or radicicol, specific inhibitors of Hsp90, diminish specific wild-type p53 binding to the p21 promoter sequence. Consequently, these inhibitors decrease p21 mRNA levels, which lead to a reduction in cellula...
متن کاملAs iron goes, so goes disease?
The brain iron overload disorders, collectively known as neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), would seem to be tantalizing targets for chelation therapy. Efforts to lower brain iron in these disorders date back to the 1960s with deferoxamine mesylate, but systemic iron depletion limited its use. With the advent of chelators better able to specifically relieve central nervous s...
متن کاملHsp90
Hsp90 is unique among molecular chaperones. The majority of its known substrates are signal transduction proteins, and recent work indicates that it uses a novel protein-folding strategy.
متن کاملThe ESSOT System Goes Wild: an Easy Way For Translating Ontologies
To enable knowledge access across languages, ontologies that are often represented only in English need to be translated into different languages. Since manual multilingual enhancement of domain-specific ontologies is very time consuming and expensive, smart solutions are required to facilitate the translation task for the language and domain experts. For this reason, we present ESSOT, an Exper...
