New discovery could help create more effective anti-cancer drugs (UNE - University of New England)

Edit Public Technologies 23 May 2016
Researchers from the University of New England have developed a way of targeting molecules to DNA, which could be useful in the design of more effective anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs ... 'Using a class of DNA damaging agents called N-acyloxy-N-alkoxy amides (NAA's) we have shown that a simple molecule, naphthalene, when attached to NAA's will significantly enhance their reaction with bacterial DNA.'....

Bacterial survival switch triggered by growth rate (Rice University)

Edit Public Technologies 23 May 2016
In 2012 Igoshin and graduate student Jatin Narula showed how the regulatory network employs a series of nested 'feed-forward' loops to filter signal noise, and in 2015 they revealed the network's timing mechanism, a circuit that uses the organism's clock-like DNA replication cycle ... If sporulation was triggered by a specific molecule, then perhaps a ......

Cancer treatment hope as compound blocks cell growth
