L-Asparaginase (ASNase) is a vital component of the first line treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), an aggressive type of blood cancer expected to afflict over 53,000 people worldwide by 2020.More recently, ASNase has also been shown to have potential for preventing metastasis from solid tumors.The ASNase treatment is, however, characte
Accessing Mefenamic Acid Form II through High-Pressure Recrystallisation
High-pressure crystallisation has been successfully used as an alternative technique to prepare Form II of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, mefenamic acid (MA).A single crystal of Form II, denoted as high-pressure Form II, was grown equi-jec 6 at 0.3 GPa from an ethanolic solution by using a diamond anvil cell.A comparison of the crystal str
Biomimetic 2D layered double hydroxide nanocomposites for hyperthermia-facilitated homologous targeting cancer photo-chemotherapy
Abstract Background Multi-modal therapy has attracted increasing attention as it provides enhanced effectiveness and potential stimulation of the immune community.However, low accumulation at the tumor sites and quick immune clearance of the anti-tumor agents are still insurmountable challenges.Hypothetically, cancer cell membrane (CCM) can homolog
The positivity scale: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Serbian version
The Positivity Scale (PS) (Caprara et al., 2012a) is an instrument which measures positivity formulated as the basic disposition for the assessment of oneself, life and the future in a positive way.The popularity of the scale and its wide use in different cultural contexts is based on the structural invariance of its translations red pygmy dogwood
