Interesantno je da u domacoj javnosti nema odjeka na ovo otkrice uz to vise jer je vecina koautora na radu iz Hrvatske a medju ostalima i sa Instituta Rudjer Boskovic. Da li je to rezultat pospanosti ili cenzure? Jos jednom iskrene cestitke svim autorima! |

možda je odjek izostao radi ovoga: Quote:
Nitrofenantren karboksilne kiseline su poznati sekundarni metaboliti kod biljaka iz porodice Aristolochiaceae medju kojima aristolochicna kiselina... (itd.)

p.s. nažalost nitko od kolega uključenih u istraživanje me nije upozorio na ove vrijedne rezultate. Da jesu, sigurno bismo ga sa strane PR službe IRBa prigodno ispromovirali, kako smo to nedavno napravili sa radom kolege Domazeta (koji mi je svoje rezultate najavio čak dva mjeseca prije nego smo krenuli s promocijom, tako da smo imali puno vremena za pripremu čitave kampanje) Pridružujem se čestitkama! |

Njima petorici svakako jest.  |

Jos jedan osvrt o ovom znacajnom otkricu!!! Bhaskar Gollapudi The Dow Chemical Company, United States of America PHARMACOLOGY & DRUG DISCOVERY This study provides important new information in establishing a causal link between traditional cell cancers associated with endemic nephropathy in humans and dietary exposure to aristolochic acid (AA), a plant toxin. The authors used AA-specific DNA adduct analysis of the affected tissue to confirm exposure of the study population to AA and employed the p53 mutational spectrum analysis to support the hypothesis that AA was the etiological factor in the development of these tumors. The mutational spectrum observed in the p53 gene of the affected humans was also consistent with the spectrum induced by AA in animal models. nullnullnull |

.............. They provide a strong case that the aristolochic acid produced by A. clematitis is the cause of endemic (Balkan) nephropathy. This disease results in kidney failure and is associated with cancer of the upper urinary tract. Its name stems from its incidence in farming communities along tributaries of the Danube. Here, as Grollman et al. confirmed in their early work done in Croatia, the plant grows in wheat fields and its seeds become mixed with wheat grains......... Nature |
