Targeting melanoma growth and viability reveals dualistic functionality of the phosphonothionate analogue of carba cyclic phosphatidic acid
(2010-06-09)
Abstract
Background
Although the incidence of melanoma in the U.S. is rising faster than any other cancer, the FDA-approved chemotherapies lack efficacy for advanced disease, which results in poor overall survival. ...
Advancing Data Reuse in Phyloinformatics Using an Ontology-Driven Semantic Web Approach
(2013-11-11)
Abstract
Phylogenetic analyses can resolve historical relationships among genes, organisms or higher taxa. Understanding such relationships can elucidate a wide range of biological phenomena, ...
