5-Fluorouracil (Standard)
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
5-Fluorouracil (Standard) is the analytical standard of 5-Fluorouracil. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an analogue of uracil and a potent antitumor agent. 5-Fluorouracil affects pyrimidine synthesis by inhibiting thymidylate synthetase thus depleting intracellular dTTP pools. 5-Fluorouracil induces apoptosis and can be used as a chemical sensitizer. 5-Fluorouracil also inhibits HIV.

Topics Exosomes: A Critical Tool In Cancer Therapy & Beyond
Exosomes are a subset of extracellular vesicles with an average diameter of approximately 100 nm, originate through the endosomal pathway, and carry nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, amino acids, and metabolites that can reflect the state of their parental cells; exosome research has therefore moved from a reticulocyte-maturation secretion phenomenon to a major framework for studying intercellular communication, organ homeostasis, disease progression, and biomedical applications.
