The treatment of acute leukaemias, which are the most common paediatric cancers, has improved considerably in recent decades, with complete response rates approaching approximately 90% in some cases. However, there remains a major need for treatments for patients who do not achieve or maintain complete remission, for whom the prognosis is very poor...

... Tasidotin has also been shown to have unique effects on microtubules (3). At low concentrations (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) Amol/L), tasidotin seems to induce a prolonged lag phase in microtubule assembly, which is followed by the standard rate of microtubule assembly. At higher concentrations (>50 Amol/L), tasidotin inhibits the extent of microtubule assembly and induces a long lag time, which is not a feature of other antimicrotubule agents. ...
... In industry, NPs are attractive biocatalysts for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs which are widely used for the treatment of viral infections and cancer (Bonate et al., 2006;De Clercq & Li, 2016;Flexner, 2007). Chemo-enzymatic production of nucleoside analogs has many advantages compared to chemical synthesis, which is still the "golden standard" in industrial production. ...
