A novel technique of cryodenervation for murine vagus nerve: implications for acute lung inflammation by Di Wu, Ximing Liao, Jing Gao, Kun Wang, Wujian Xu, Feilong Wang, Zhixian Jin, Dandan Wu, Qiang Li, Wei Gao

“…Result We demonstrated that VSCD was able to induce a reliable and stable blockade of innervation, but reversible structural damage of mouse vagus nerve without detectable toxicity to lung tissues. Cholinergic parasympathetic nerve in the mouse lung coming from vagus nerve was activated at the initial stage (1 week) after VSCD, and blocked 3 weeks later. …”

Cytotoxic mechanisms of pemetrexed and HDAC inhibition in non-small cell lung cancer cells involving ribonucleotides in DNA by Tobias Solli Iveland, Lars Hagen, Mirta Mittelstedt Leal de Sousa, Nina Beate Liabakk, Per Arne Aas, Animesh Sharma, Bodil Kavli, Geir Slupphaug

“…Contrary to the conventional model of antifolate toxicity, which implicates futile cycles of uracil incorporation and excision in DNA, we propose that ribonucleotide incorporation in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA significantly contributes to the cytotoxicity of antifolates like pemetrexed, and likely also of fluorinated pyrimidine analogs. …”
