A cell type-selective apoptosis-inducing small molecule for the treatment of brain cancer.

abstract：:Many bacteria use acyl homoserine lactone signals to monitor cell density in a type of gene regulation termed quorum sensing and response. Synthesis of these signals is directed by homologs of the luxi gene of Vibrio fischeri. This communication resolves two critical issues concerning the synthesis of the V. fischeri ...

Here, we investigated the requirements for export of three naturally intronless mRNAs (HSPB3, IFN-α1, and IFN-β1). Significantly, we found that all three m...
