Excerpt

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a protein that stimulates the growth of new blood cells, was isolated from human cells by Malcolm Moore and Karl Welte in 1984 [1]. It formed the basis for filgrastim, one of the most important drugs in cancer therapy [2]. In the hierarchical development of hematopoiesis, G-CSF predominantly stimulates the myeloid cell series from committed progenitor cells to mature neutrophil granulocytes. There are several important effects of G-CSF: maintaining the viability of progenitor cells and their mature progeny, blocking apoptosis, stimulating cell division, determining lineage affiliation (granulocytes or macrophage monocytes), influencing the maturation process, and stimulating phagocytosis activity [3]. Natural G-CSF is O-glycosylated with a molecular weight of 19,000 Da. Derived from the amino acid sequence, molecular cloning of the cDNA and expression in Escherichia coli was successful [4]. G-CSF acts through a homodimeric G-CSF receptor (GCSFR) expressed on myeloid cells from myeloblasts to mature neutrophils. It transduces the signals that trigger the effects described [5]. The GCSFR occurs at a relatively low density of 700–1500 per cell on the cell surface and has a high affinity for G-CSF. A low occupancy at receptors is sufficient to obtain the maximal biological response. …

Blutdrucksenkung könnte Uterusmyome verhindern

Frauen mit unbehandelter oder neu auftretender Hypertonie haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Uterusmyome. Eine Therapie mit Antihypertensiva geht hingegen mit einer verringerten Inzidenz der gutartigen Tumoren einher.

Alphablocker schützt vor Miktionsproblemen nach der Biopsie

Nach einer Prostatabiopsie treten häufig Probleme beim Wasserlassen auf. Ob sich das durch den periinterventionellen Einsatz von Alphablockern verhindern lässt, haben australische Mediziner im Zuge einer Metaanalyse untersucht.

Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugat hält solide Tumoren in Schach
