Human neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma express abnormal ganglioside patterns especially GD2 and GM2 which are important for tumour growth. We tested the effects of L-cycloserine (L-CS), a potent inhibitor of synthesis of glycosphingolipids, on the growth, viability and expression of GD2
We describe the effect of a chemically characterized lipophilic extract obtained from Marthasterias glacialis L. against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell lines. Evaluation of DNA synthesis revealed that both cell lines were markedly affected in a
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines vary in their sensitivity to glutaminase inhibitors, so it is important to identify the metabolic assets underling their efficacy in cancer cells. Even though specific genetic lesions such as in KRAS and LKB1 have

The mechanisms leading to the low-grade inflammation observed during obesity are not fully understood. Seeking the initiating events, we tested the hypothesis that the intestine could be damaged by repeated lipid supply and therefore participate in inflammation. In mice, 1-5

Currently, presymtomatic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell transplantation (HSPCT) is the only therapeutic modality that alleviates Krabbe's disease (KD)-induced central nervous system damage. However, all HSPCT-treated patients exhibit severe deterioration in peripheral nervous system function characterized by major motor and
