How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

Initial works from the lab concentrated on exploring the role of replicative stress in cancer and ageing, for which the group combined cell biology, mouse models and drug development projects. Among other discoveries, the group developed inhibitors of the ATR kinase and showed their potential for cancer therapy.

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells). NK cells can be readily extracted from umbilical cord blood or peripheral blood of adult donors.

Discovering an Antimalarial Drug in Mao’s China

Codon

The existing literature written in English on this story tends to attribute Tu Youyou’s achievements to a solo discovery, an understandable consequence of Tu receiving the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015. Miller and Su published an article on Tu’s story in Cell in 2011. Nobody had an answer.
