N-propionyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol (NPr-4-S-CAP) is selectively incorporated into melanoma cells and degrades them. However, it remains unclear whether NPr-4-S-CAP can induce cell death associated with the induction of host immune responses and tumor suppression in vivo. To examine the molecular mechanism of

Metastatic melanoma is resistant to conventional therapies. N-propionyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol (NPrCAP), an N-protected sulfur-amine analog of tyrosine, is a good substrate for tyrosinase and is selectively incorporated into melanoma cells, causing cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. We have recently shown that

The post-translational modification of proteins with O-GlcNAc is involved in various cellular processes including signal transduction, transcription, translation, and nuclear transport. This transient protein modification enables cells or tissues to adapt to nutrient conditions or stress. O-Glycosylation of the 26

Autofluorescent microcapsules were assembled by covalent cross-linking of polysaccharide alginate dialdehyde (ADA) derivative and cystamine dihydrochloride (CM) through a layer-by-layer (LBL) technique. The formulated Schiff base and disulfide bonds render capsules with pH- and redox-responsive properties for pinpointed intracellular delivery

A polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) hybrid monolith was simply prepared by using octaglycidyldimethylsilyl POSS (POSS-epoxy) and cystamine dihydrochloride as monomers via ring-opening polymerization. The effects of composition of prepolymerization solution and polycondensation temperature on the morphology and permeability of monolithic
