TEOA PROMOTES AUTOPHAGIC CELL DEATH VIA ROS-MEDIATED INHIBITION OF MTOR/P70S6K SIGNALING PATHWAY IN PANCREATIC CANCER CELLS

TEOA Promotes Autophagic Cell Death via ROS-Mediated Inhibition of mTOR/p70S6k Signaling Pathway in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant tumor with high mortality, and novel therapeutic options have focused on ameliorating its poor prognosis.TEOA, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities.Our recent study has shown that TEOA inhibits proliferation and induces DNA damage in diffuse large B-cell

Comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of amoebozoa based on concatenated analyses of SSU-rDNA and actin genes.

Evolutionary relationships within Amoebozoa have been the subject of controversy for two reasons: 1) paucity of morphological characters in traditional surveys and 2) haphazard taxonomic sampling in modern molecular reconstructions.These along with other factors have prevented the erection of a definitive system that resolves confidently both highe

Exploitation of other social amoebae by Dictyostelium caveatum.

Dictyostelium amoebae faced with starvation trigger a developmental program during which many cells aggregate and form fruiting bodies that consist of a ball of spores held aloft by a thin stalk.This developmental strategy is open to several forms of exploitation, including the remarkable case of Dictyostelium caveatum, which, even when it constitu
