New Applications for Poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride)
… development of an understanding of poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) in terms of both its physical behaviour and chemistry. Chapter one involves a thorough and rigorous characterisation of the polymer, and three principle things are established: the polymer is structurally uniform, reacts in a …

BETTING ON ALTERNATIVES: TARGETING TELOMERIC DILNCRNA AND BET PROTEINS IN ALT CANCER
The Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway is a homology-driven, damage-induced mechanism of telomere maintenance (TMM) that sustains the proliferation of 10-15% of human cancers. We have recently discovered that damaged DNA, including deprotected telomeres, triggers de novo …

Investigating the roles of lncRNA TERRA in telomerase-to-ALT transition using cancer cell lines and multicellular organisms
… recombination (HR) by the mechanism of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), in about 10-15% of cancers. Even though anti-telomerase treatments are currently being developed, there is a number of tumors that can change from one mechanism to the other with a switch named …

The Role of Alternaria and its Major Allergen, Alt a 1, in the Pathogenesis of Allergic Airway Disorders
… exposure to the ubiqutious airborne fungus, Alternaria alternata, has long been implicated in the development and exacerbation of human allergy and asthma. Alt a 1 was identified previously by several groups as the major allergen secreted by A. alternata, due to its IgE-specific reactivity …

Association of HBV DNA and ALT Level with YMDD motif Mutation Type in Lamivudine Resistance for Chronic Hepatitis B
… At the point of breakthrough, the level of ALT was 186.3±199.7(15-1469) U/L and HBV DNA was 7.65±0.09(5.23-9.09) log10 copies/mL. They were lower than the level of ALT and HBV DNA before the therapy. Among 93 patients, 42 patients(45.2%) and 27 patients(29.0%) had YIDD and YVDD mutant, …
