Impact of V9302, a Competitive Antagonist of Transmembrane Glutamine Flux on Reversal of Resistance in Breast Cancer Cell Lines.

Chemotherapy is a known treatment modality that improves the long-term survival of breast cancer patients. However, due to the resistance to numerous anticancer drugs, alternative chemotherapeutic strategies are required. Regarding antimetabolic drugs, several compounds have proven anticancer properties, such as statins.

Incidence and predictors of heart failure with improved ejection fraction category in a HFrEF patient population.

Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and predictive factors of the development of heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) category during a 1 year follow-up period in a heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patient population managed in a heart failure outpatient clinic.

Methods And Results: The study evaluated data from patients enrolled in the Hungarian Heart Failure Registry (HHFR). The incidence and predictive factors of the development of the HFimpEF category after 1 year follow-up were assessed in the group of patients who had HFrEF at baseline.

Magnetic Properties and Magnetocaloric Effect of Polycrystalline and Nano-Manganites PrSrCaMnO (x ≤ 0.3).

Here we report investigations of bulk and nano-sized PrSrCaMnO compounds (x ≤ 0.3). Solid-state reaction was implemented for polycrystalline compounds and a modified sol-gel method was used for nanocrystalline compounds.

Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 3A1 (OATP3A1)-Gated Bio-Orthogonal Labeling of Intracellular Proteins.

Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) were found to readily deliver membrane impermeable, tetrazine bearing fluorescent probes into cells. This feature was explored in OATP3A1 conditioned bio-orthogonal labeling schemes of various intracellular proteins in live cells. Confocal microscopy and super-resolution microscopy (STED) studies have shown that highly specific and efficient staining of the selected intracellular proteins can be achieved with the otherwise non-permeable probes when OATP3A1 is present in the cell membrane of cells.

Two Non-Necrotic Disease Resistance Types Distinctly Affect the Expression of Key Pathogenic Determinants of in Pepper.

Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) carrying the gds (corresponding to bs5) gene can prevent the development of bacterial leaf spot disease without HR. However, little is known regarding the development of the resistance mechanism encoded by gds, especially its influence on the bacterium.
