Iminosugars: From Synthesis to Therapeutic Applications
The field of iminosugars is a very exciting area of research. These carbohydrate mimetics
were first imagined and synthesized by chemists in the 1960s before being isolated from
Nature a few years later. Since the discovery of their biological activity as potent glycosidase
inhibitors in the 1970s, iminosugars have been the subject... | | Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research
Life and death are topics that no one takes lightly. In the cell, death by apoptosis is just as
fundamental as proliferation for the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. Too much or
