Effects of alkylated-chitosan–DNA nanoparticles on the function of macrophages
Chitosan could form nanoparticles with DNA through electrostatic interaction, and hence protect the DNA from enzymatic degradation. Numerous studies have been working on modifying chitosan aiming at improving ...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α-induced differentiation of myeloid leukemic cells is its transcriptional activity independent
Hypoxia or hypoxia mimetic has been shown to induce differentiation together with the accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) protein of myeloid leukemic cells and normal hematopoietic progenitors. T...

Hypoxia-mimetic agents desferrioxamine and cobalt chloride induce leukemic cell apoptosis through different hypoxia-inducible factor-1α independent mechanisms
Hypoxia presents pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic biphasic effects that appear to be dependent upon cell types and conditions around cells. The substantial reports demonstrated that commonly used hypoxia-mimet...
