Diversity-oriented synthesis encoded by deoxyoligonucleotides.

Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) is a powerful strategy to prepare molecules with underrepresented features in commercial screening collections, resulting in the elucidation of novel biological mechanisms. In parallel to the development of DOS, DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) have emerged as an effective, efficient screening strategy to identify protein binders. Despite recent advancements in this field, most DEL syntheses are limited by the presence of sensitive DNA-based constructs.

Traditional versus Microsphere Embolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Effectiveness Evaluation Using Data Mining.

: For hepatocellular carcinoma ("HCC"), the current standard of treatment is hepatic artery embolization, generally through trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization ("TACE"). There are two types: traditional ("conventional" or "cTACE") and microsphere ("DC bead TACE"). Unfortunately, the literature comparing the relative effectiveness of cTACE versus DC bead TACE is inconclusive, partially due to the complexity of HCC and its response to treatment.

Extraction and Isolation of Antifreeze Proteins from Winter Rye (Secale cereale L.) Leaves.

Apoplastic extracts of cold-acclimated winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv Musketeer) leaves were previously shown to exhibit antifreeze activity. The objectives of the present study were to identify and characterize individual antifreeze proteins present in the apoplastic extracts.
