Abstract Background Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable malignancy, despite the advent of therapies such as proteosome inhibitors (PIs) that disrupt protein homeostasis and induce ER stress.We have pursued inhibition of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGDPS) as a novel mechanism by which to target protein homeostasis in MM cells.GGDPS i
Gray-bellied Hawk, Accipiter poliogaster (Temminck, 1824) (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae), in Costa Rica
Gray-bellied Hawk (Accipiter poliogaster) is a diurnal raptor with a distribution range and movements poorly known.A juvenile was recorded in Costa Rica in 2008 and 2009 for in mel axolotl the Caribbean lowlands.In this note we reported the first adult observation for Costa Rica and a new locality.Even though is uncertain how this species g35 coupe
CL-L1 and CL-K1 Exhibit Widespread Tissue Distribution With High and Co-Localized Expression in Secretory Epithelia and Mucosa
Collectin liver 1 (CL-L1, alias collectin 10) and collectin kidney 1 (CL-K1, alias collectin 11) are oligomeric pattern recognition molecules associated with the complement system, and mutations in either of their genes may lead to deficiency and developmental defects.The two collectins are reportedly localized and synthesized in the liver, kidneys
Impact of robust treatment planning on single- and multi-field optimized plans for proton beam therapy of unilateral head and neck target volumes
Abstract Background Proton beam therapy is promising for the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC), but it is sensitive to uncertainties in patient positioning and particle range.Studies have shown that the planning target volume (PTV) concept may not be sufficient to ensure robustness of the target coverage.A few planning studies have considered
Harmony Behind the Trumped-Shaped Vessel: the Essential Role of the Ductus Venosus in Fetal Medicine
The ductus venosus is a fetal vessel that functions importantly in the transfer of oxygen-and nutrient-rich blood from the underwater treasures sunken medallion umbilical vein to vital organs.Its control under active regulation and its anatomy result in a flow-velocity profile that is typically forward throughout the cardiac cycle.This forward card
