The detection of chromosomal aberrations constitutes an important stage in the comprehension of the pathogenesis of several diseases, as cancer. In this case, the amplification or deletion (suppression) of some chromosomal regions, was identified as being ...
The combined and ordered sequential action of glycosidases and glycosyltransferases in mammalian cell compartments leads to the addition of defined glycans to proteins and lipids. Altered glycosylation patterns, neoexpression, underexpression or overexpres ...
Changes in the glycosylation pattern of cellular glycoproteins constitute a hallmark in human cancer and influence tumour progression, suggesting that inhibitors of selected glycosidases may control cancer invasion. Following the studies on swainsonine, a ...
Head and neck (H&N) cancer patients have a high incidence of second primary tumors in the tracheobronchial tree. Diagnostic autofluorescence endoscopy (DAFE) has shown promising results in the detection of early neoplastic and pre-neoplastic changes in the ...
The present invention relates to novel organometallic compds. for use as a medicine, in particular in photodynamic therapy against various diseases, such as cancer. The compds. comprise a central porphyrin or phthalocyanine backbone to which ligand linkers ...
The present invention relates to derivatives of dihydroxypyrrolidine useful in the treatment of cancer. The invention further relates to a process for making the compounds. The compounds are inhibitors of alpha mannosidase, and possibly, also inhibit nicot ...
The mammalian intestine has one of the highest turnover rates in the body. The intestinal epithelium is completely renewed in less than a week. It is divided into spatially distinct compartments in the form of finger-like projections and invaginations that ...
We have at our disposal observations relating to the mortality due to different types of cancer and we wish to compare them with a theoretical model. The usual models lead to increased mortality with increasing age, instead of the drop which is observed af ...
