“…Moreover, our results also unequivocally indicated that ROS could serve as one non-negligible factor to overcome the endo/lysosomal barriers and to facilitate the fast translocation of caged drugs into nucleus. This study provided a simple strategy to investigate the details regarding the rapid intracellular drug redistribution by overcoming the different biological barriers in resistant cancer cells, which could help to better understand the mechanisms of drug delivery, and it may also facilitate the rational design of new carrier systems towards the enhanced drug activity in cancer therapy. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…</p><p> </p><p>Before the Chinese invasion of the mid-twentieth century, numerous hand-written manuscript editions were preserved with reverence in monasteries throughout Tibet, as living embodiments of the rNying ma pa tantric dharma; sadly, it may be that none have survived the destructions following the invasion and the subsequent Cultural Revolution.3 Amazingly, however, the wood-blocks for the single xylograph printed edition of the collection (originally made in sDe dge in the late eighteenth century) did survive, and this edition is now being widely reprinted in Tibet.4</p> <p>With the exception of the sDe dge xylograph from East Tibet, all other currently available editions of the rNying ma'i rgyud 'bum, including the Rig 'dzin Tshe dbang nor bu edition, seem to derive from the Himalayan and Southern Tibetan border areas. …”
