Characterization of the potency and mechanism of action of a novel dual-selective intermolecularly complemented version of Anthrax Lethal Toxin (PAU2R200A- PAL1I207R/FP59) in Acute... by Farhat, Mirna

“…Finally, while IMC/LF treatment did not affect the expression of any of the proteases tested (uPAR, MMP2, and MMP9), treatment with IMC/FP59 did affect their expression with significant cytotoxic responses seen only in cells whose uPAR expression was not affected at any time point post-treatment. In this study, we showed for the first time the potency of IMC PrAg variant on AML cell lines, its mode of action, as well as its mechanism of cell death.…”

Teaching behaviour change skills to undergraduate medical students by Grey, Ian

“…This study investigates the effects of a three-week student project where students selected a healthbehaviour and implemented a self-management program to increase or decrease that behavior. Behaviours were (1) smoking reduction, (2) caffeine reduction, (3) reduction in consumption of saturated fats, (4) increasing physical activity and (5) increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables. 121 first year medical students conducted a seven day baseline assessment of the selected behavior. …”
