The Strange Case: The Unsymmetric Cisplatin-Based Pt(IV) Prodrug [Pt(CH3COO)Cl2(NH3)2(OH)] Exhibits Higher Cytotoxic Activity with respect to Its Symmetric Congeners due to Carrier... by Elisabetta Gabano, Ilaria Zanellato, Giulia Pinton, Laura Moro, Mauro Ravera, Domenico Osella

“…The unexpected activity of 2 appears to be related to its peculiar cellular accumulation and not to a different rate of reduction or a different efficacy in DNA platination and/or efficiency in apoptosis induction. Although the exact mechanism of cell uptake is not fully deciphered, a series of naïve experiments indicates an energy-dependent, carrier-mediated transport: the organic cation transporters (OCTs) are the likely proteins involved.…”

On the Performance of Interference-Based Energy-Harvesting-Enabled Wireless AF Relaying Communication Systems by Yazid M. Khattabi, Yazan H. Al-Badarneh, Mohamed-Slim Alouini

“…In mode I, energy is harvested only by the source; in mode II, energy is harvested only by the relay; and in mode III, energy is harvested concurrently by both the source and relay. Under these modes, exact and approximate analytical expressions are derived for the system&#x0027;s outage probability, which are directly used to determine the system&#x0027;s delay-limited throughput as a performance figure of merit. …”
