Characterisation of palytoxin from an undescribed Palythoa (Anthozoa: Zoantharia: Sphenopidae) with significant in vitro cytotoxic effects on cancer cells at picomolar doses

This paper characterizes palytoxin from a new Palythoa species, showing it has high yield and significant in vitro cytotoxic effects on cancer cells at picomolar doses, with lower toxicity to non-cancerous cells.

Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins determine glioblastoma stem-like cells fate depending on oxygen level

This study investigates how IAP inhibitors affect glioblastoma stem-like cells under hypoxic and normoxic conditions, showing differential effects on apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation.
