OBJECTIVES Radiation emitted by the radionuclides in radioimmunotherapy (RIT) approaches induce direct killing of the targeted cells as well as indirect killing through the bystander effect. Our research group is dedicated to the development of α-RIT, i.e., RIT using α-particles especially for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). γ-irradiation and β-irradiation have been shown to trigger apo...

The biological ramifications of phosphorylation of the androgen receptor (AR) are largely unknown. To examine the phosphorylation of AR at serine 213, a putative substrate for Akt, a phosphorylation site-specific antibody was generated. The use of this antibody indicated that AR Ser-213 is phosphorylated in vivo and that phosphorylation is tightly regulated in a cell type-specific manner. Furth...

To investigate the immunomodulatory activity of flavonoid fractions of Terminalia catappa in Swiss albino mice. The flavonoid fraction of T.catappa was administrated intraperitonealy at a dose of ED50 to healthy albino mice. Assessment of immunomodulatory activity was carried out by assessment of neutrophil adhesion and phagocytic index. Intraperitonealy administered Tcff showed a significant i...

Sex differences have been found in the anatomy of brains of a wide variety of vertebrates including humans. Common lore tells us that sex differences in the brain cause sex differences in behavior. This review entertains the possibility that sex differences in the brain may also do the exact opposite. Specifically, sex differences may allow males and females to display remarkably similar behavi...
