Myalgic Encephalopathy/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is an enigmatic disease the pathogenesis of which remains elusive. Pragmatic proof-of-principle of the hypothetical mechanisms causing the clinical symptoms has been delivered, but it is hard to explain why some patients do respond favourably

A current study shows that sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) can induce cancer cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth, but its cytotoxic activity is low (IC(50) > 1000 microM for A549). In this paper, a variety of DCA derivatives were synthesized, and

Because radiotherapy significantly increases median survival in patients with glioblastoma, the modulation of radiation resistance is of significant interest. High glycolytic states of tumor cells are known to correlate strongly with radioresistance; thus, the concept of metabolic targeting needs to
