Veno-occlusive disease as a complication of preoperative chemotherapy for Wilms tumor: A clinico-pathological analysis.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Vincristine (VCR) and actinomycin D (ACD) form the backbone of chemotherapeutic regimens of Wilms tumor treatment. Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a potentially life-threatening complication of ACD. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the ... Read more...

Enzyme-triggered disassembly of dendrimer-based amphiphilic nanocontainers.

12 Oct 2009 We demonstrate a new enzyme-induced disassembly of amphiphilic nanocontainers based on dendrimers. Disassembly and the ensuing release of noncovalently bound guest molecules are of great interest because of their implications in areas such as drug ... Read more...

Long-term virus-induced alterations of CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism: a look at the virology, immunology and molecular biology of a multi-faceted problem.

29 Sep 2009 Virus infections are on the rise. Although the first description of CYP expression during virus infection was recorded 50 years ago, mechanistic studies of this phenomenon only began to appear in the last decade due to breakthroughs in molecular ... Read more...
