Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables that has demonstrated anti-cancer, anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. SFN ameliorates various disease models in rodents (e.g.

Nevertheless, studies using Tau PET have measured either magnitude using standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) or extent using number of Tau+ regions. We hypothesized that combining these two dimensions into a single measure of Magnitude and eXtent, Tau-MaX, would provide improved quantification of global tau burden as well as allowing for a region-agnostic measure of global tau burden that does not require a pre-specified region of interest (ROI) or meta-ROI.

Targeting is the most challenging problem to solve for drug delivery systems. Despite the use of targeting units such as antibodies, peptides and proteins to increase their penetration in tumors the amount of therapeutics that reach the target is very small, even with the use of nanoparticles (NPs). Nature has solved the selectivity problem using a combination of proteins and lipids that are exposed on the cell membranes and are able to recognize specific tissues as demonstrated by cancer metastasis.

The cellular uptake routes of peptides and proteins are complex and diverse, often handicapping therapeutic success. Understanding their mechanisms of internalization requires chemical derivatization with approaches that are compatible with wash-free and real-time imaging. In this work, we developed a new late-stage labeling strategy for unprotected peptides and proteins, which retains their biological activity while enabling live-cell imaging of uptake and intracellular trafficking.

Statins are widely used for treating lipid disorders and cardiovascular diseases. However, the therapeutic efficiency and adverse effects of statins vary among different patients, which numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have attributed to genetic polymorphisms in statin-metabolizing enzymes and transport proteins. The metabolic processes of statins are relatively complex, involving spontaneous or enzyme-catalyzed interconversion between more toxic lactone metabolites and active acid forms in the liver and bloodstream, influenced by multiple factors, including the expression levels of many metabolic enzymes and transporters.
