Although induction chemotherapy comprising high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) in combination with idarubicin and etoposide or 'ICE' for adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) produces a complete remission rate of nearly 80%, gastrointestinal toxicity is significant. Omission of etoposide may produce similar clinical

세포 주기 연구를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

증식하는 세포에서 세포 주기는 4단계로 구성됩니다. Gap 1(G1)은 유사분열과 세포 성장을 특징으로 하는 DNA 복제 사이의 기간입니다. DNA 복제는 합성(S)기에 일어나며, 세포 분열을 위한 성장 및 준비를 하는 Gap 2(G2)가 뒤따릅니다. 이 세 단계는 함께 세포주기의 간기 단계를 구성합니다. 간기 이후에 분열(M)기가 뒤따릅니다.

세포사멸 연구를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

세포사멸, 즉 세포예정사(PCD)는 여러 생물학적 시스템에서 불필요하고 감염되거나 변형된 세포를 제거하기 위한 선택적인 과정입니다. 이 과정은 다세포 기관의 항상성에서 역할을 수행하고 있기 때문에, 세포자멸사는 많은 조절 및 효과인자 분자에 의해 두 가지 주요 경로를 통해서 철저하게 조절됩니다.
