Journal ArticleDOI

Innovative approaches to lung volume reduction for emphysema.

TL;DR: Concepts being actively investigated at this time include surgical resection with compression/banding devices, endobronchial blockers, sealants, obstructing devices and valves, and bronchial bypass methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sulfonamide Inhibitors of Human Carbonic Anhydrases Designed through a Three-Tails Approach: Improving Ligand/Isoform Matching and Selectivity of Action

TL;DR: The most active and selective inhibitors against isoforms implicated in glaucoma were assessed in a rabbit model of the disease achieving an intraocular pressure-lowering action comparable to the clinically used dorzolamide.
Journal ArticleDOI

p37 induces tumor invasiveness

TL;DR: Recombinant p37 enhanced the invasiveness of two prostate carcinoma and two melanoma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner in vitro, but did not have a significant effect on tumor cell growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical rescue in catalysis by human carbonic anhydrases II and III.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the out position of His 64 considered alone is not active in proton transfer in HCA II, and the difference in the susceptibility of CA II and III to chemical rescue may be related to the more sterically constrained and electrostatically positive nature of the active site cavity of CA III compared with CA II.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural analysis of the spiroplasma virus, SpV4: implications for evolutionary variation to obtain host diversity among the Microviridae

TL;DR: Sequence alignment and structural analysis indicate that distinct genera of the Microviridae might have evolved from a common primordial ancestor, with capsid surface variations, such as the SpV4 protrusions, resulting from gene fusion events that have enabled diverse host ranges.
