Selective degradation of splicing factor CAPERα by anticancer sulfonamides
A series of sulfonamides induced the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the U2AF-related splicing factor, coactivator of activating protein-1 and estrogen receptor α (CAPERα), by promoting direct binding betwee...

Metronomic treatment of malignant glioma xenografts with irinotecan (CPT-11) inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth
Irinotecan (CPT-11) has shown emerging promise in the treatment of malignant gliomas. It is believed the mechanism of action of irinotecan is to sensitize glioma cells to the cytotoxic action of radiation ther...
