Dual action nanocarrier combining CXCR4 antagonist and polyplex gene delivery for treatment of metastatic cancer and other diseases

Novel bio-reducible polymer compositions which combine the ability to act as a CXCR4 antagonist and simultaneously provide enhanced gene delivery through the formation of inert nanocarrier polyplexes have been developed. As would be expected for biodegradable polymers, the cytotoxicity of these nanocarrier compositions are very low with measured IC50...

Novel Mammalian Putative Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate-5-Kinase

Researchers at Wayne State University have discovered a novel mammalian gene which may be involved in membrane trafficking, more specifically, insulin-induced translocation of the fat/muscle-specific glucose transporter GLUT4. This material is a potentially valuable research tool for investigation relating to the diagnosis or therapy of diabetes....
