Superoxide: a two-edged sword
Superoxide (O2 ) is the compound obtained when oxygen is reduced by one electron. For a molecule with an unpaired electron, O2 is surprisingly inert, its chief reaction being a dismutation in which it reacts with itself to form H2O2 and oxygen. The involvement of O2 in biological systems was first revealed by the discovery in 1969 of superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that catalyzes the dismutatio...

Unlike most chronic illnesses which have been declining or stabilizing in prevalence, incidence of type 2 diabetes has been increasing in the Western Hemisphere, and is now increasing at alarming rates in Asia1. While all causes of these increases cannot be identified, without question the increase in adiposity is an important contributor. The latter is due to increased caloric intake and reduc...
متن کاملBRAF inhibitors: two edged sword
Somatic mutations in BRAF occur in two thirds of cutaneous melanomas, leading to the activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK signalling pathway. Preclinical studies of BRAF mutations showed that inhibition of BRAF led to melanoma cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in vitro and blockade of melanoma xenograft growth in vivo. Clinical studies of BRAF inhibitors in BRAF-mutated metastatic ...

What’s all the fuss about? The original issue in CHI-WEB was whether to use a shopping cart metaphor when designing e-commerce sites.

Don said that we shouldn’t be using any of these things and should just have “lists of items purchased”. Naturally, this lef...
متن کاملA Double-Edged Sword?
The enormous benefits of inhibition of ACE demonstrate that manipulation of the metabolism of peptide hormones is a valuable therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease. Recent attempts to expand these benefits have combined ACE inhibition with inhibition of other peptidases such as neutral endopeptidase (NEP) in a single molecule, a strategy known as vasopeptidase inhibition. NEP metaboliz...
