CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF RHENIUM NANOLIPOSOMES (RNL 186) FOR GLIOBLASTOMA

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive of the primary malignant brain tumor in adults,with a median overall survival of 19.6 months following multi-modality therapy. The main limiting factor indelivering a tumoricidal radiation dose is the toxicity to surrounding brain. Therapeutic radionuclides, due to ashort tissue path and differences in radiobiology, have the potential to extend the therapeutic window for radiationin GBM.

Nox4 and the Redox-Regulation of Mkps in Monocyte Recruitment and Atherosclerosis

Chemokine-driven transmigration of monocytes into the subendothelial space is a fundamental and rate- limiting process in atherogenesis. Our preliminary data show that this process is dysregulated by metabolic stress and that increased monocyte responsiveness to chemokines appears to accelerate atherosclerotic plaque development. We have now uncovered a novel thiol redox-sensitive mechanism in monocytes that upon dysregulation by metabolic disorders, 'primes' and transforms monocytes into a hyper-chemotactic pro- atherogenic phenotype.
