Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…However, many patients still fail to show a clinically meaningful response to kinase inhibitors prescribed on the basis of tumor genotype, and nearly all responsive patients eventually develop resistance, limiting the curative potential of these agents. …”

Tumor-targeted nano-assemblies for energy-blocking cocktail therapy in cancer by Chen, Manling, Liu, Yidu, Li, Yang, Liu, Xue

“…In human lung tumor cells, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 2-DG@MA-dots was significantly lower than that of either metformin or 2-DG alone, showing a nearly 100-fold and 30-fold reduction in IC50 values to 11.78 µg mL-1, from 1159 µg mL-1 and 351.20 µg mL-1, respectively. …”

Investigation of Synthetic Proteins Produced via Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesis by Cowfer, Amanda Elizabeth

“…Since the introduction of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the peptide community has endeavored to combine the convenience of flow chemistry with the iterative steps associated with peptide elongation in SPPS. Nearly one decade ago, members of the Pentelute lab envisioned and developed a flow-based peptide synthesizer, the Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesizer, or AFPS for short. …”
