Calcimycin as Antifungals
A new antifungal treatment is necessary, as pathogens evolve and develop immunity to current methods. Here, the inventors present calcimycin (CMN) as a novel treatment of cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans (Cne) and likely Cryptococcus gattii (Cga). CMN prevents the protein from continuing to splice. While the current treatment methods...

KM Cells - A Metastatic Cell Line and Method of Producing
In this study, researchers at the University of Arizona investigated an early cancer invasion event using a unique in vivo model. Muscle invasion was tested by the ability of prostate cancer cells to colonize the inferior surface of the respiratory diaphragm of male NGS mice, invade into and through to the superior surface. They isolated and compared...

Amphipathic Helical Glycopeptide Address Sequences for Enhanced Blood-Brain Barrier Transport of Neuroactive Peptides
University of Arizona researchers have successfully created a series of amphipathic helical glycopeptides with the ability to retain a membrane bound conformation promoting endocytosis as well as a water-soluble conformation facilitating exit from the membrane. This "biousian" property is intrinsic in allowing the molecule to traverse the...
