In vivo proton MR spectroscopic imaging of colon cancer for non-invasive assessment of 5-FU resistance: A preliminary study

Qi Xie, Xi-Yan Shao, Yi-Ming Yang, Min-Yi Wu, Jing Zhang
Instant and accurate evaluation of drug resistance in tumors before and during chemotherapy is important for patients with advanced colon cancer and is beneficial for prolonging their progression-free survival time. Here, the possible biomarkers that reflect the drug resistance of colon cancer were investigated using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in vivo. SW480[5-fluorouracil(5-FU)-responsive] and SW480/5-FU (5-FU-resistant) xenograft models were generated and subjected to in v...

COVID-19 Testing and Diagnostics: A Review of Commercialized Technologies for Cost, Convenience and Quality of Tests

Ashler Benda, Lukas Zerajic, Ankita Ankita, Erin Cleary, Yunsoo Park, Santosh Pandey
Population-scale and rapid testing for SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a priority for several parts of the world. We revisit the in vitro technology platforms for COVID-19 testing and diagnostics—molecular tests and rapid antigen tests, serology or antibody tests, and tests for the management of COVID-19 patients. Within each category of tests, we review the commercialized testing platforms, their analyzing systems, specimen collection protocols, testing methodologies, supply chain logistics, and rel...

ECOPHARMACOGNOSY: EXPLORING THE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF NATURE FOR HUMAN HEALTH

Geoffrey A. Cordell
“Why didn’t they develop natural product drugs in a sustainable manner at the beginning of this century?” In 2035, when about 10.0 billion will inhabit Earth, will this be our legacy as the world contemplates the costs and availability of synthetic and gene-based products for primary health care? Acknowledging the recent history of the relationship between humankind and the Earth, it is essential that the health care issues being left for our descendants be considered in terms of resources. Fo...
