UTexas Aptamer Database: the collection and long-term preservation of aptamer sequence information.

A growing interest in aptamer research, as evidenced by the increase in aptamer publications over the years, has led to calls for a go-to site for aptamer information. A comprehensive, publicly available aptamer dataset, which may be a repository for aptamer data, standardize aptamer reporting, and generate opportunities to expand current research in the field, could meet such a demand. There have been several attempts to create aptamer databases; however, most have been abandoned or removed entirely from public view.

Vialinin A, an Edible Mushroom-Derived p-Terphenyl Antioxidant, Prevents VEGF-Induced Neovascularization In Vitro and In Vivo.

Increased side toxicities and development of drug resistance are the major concern for the cancer chemotherapy using synthetic drugs. Therefore, identification of novel natural antioxidants with potential therapeutic efficacies is important. In the present study, we have examined how the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of vialinin A, a p-terphenyl compound derived from Chinese edible mushroom and , prevents human umbilical vascular endothelial cell (HUVEC) neovascularization in vitro and in vivo models.
