Mechanisms of cancer cell death induction by triptolide.

Drug resistance is a hot topic issue in cancer research and therapy. Although cancer therapy including radiotherapy and anti-cancer drugs can kill malignant cells within the tumor, cancer cells can develop a wide range of mechanisms to resist the toxic effects of anti-cancer agents. Cancer cells may provide some mechanisms to resist oxidative stress and escape from apoptosis and attack by the immune system.

High efficiency of Ag decorated CuMoO nanoparticles for heterogeneous photocatalytic activation, bactericidal system, and detection of glucose from blood sample.

The novel Ag/CuMoO nanoparticles was simply synthesized via chemical method. Ag/CuMoO nanoparticles was characterized by FESEM image, XRD curve, UV-vis spectroscopy, BET analysis, and XPS spectrum. XRD pattern depicts that the cubic crystalline phase of particles.
