The 1991 film "Drop Dead Fred" is a madcap and oddly dark "family comedy" that left a deep, lasting impression on people who saw it on the cusp of adulthood. Clearly greenlit in the interest of capitalizing on Tim Burton's movies about manic goofballs like "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" and "Beetlejuice," it was originally pitched by the studio to Burton to direct and to Robin Williams to star in the title role (via Little White Lies). Because they declined, Dutch filmmaker Ate De Jong signed on for his Hollywood debut, and fireball British comedian Rik Mayall was cast alongside Phoebe...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a widespread clinical entity that has become almost a global epidemic. Selenium plays an important role in metabolic homeostasis. It has been suggested that it may also affect the expression and activity of PPAR-γ—an important mediator in energy balance and cell differentiation. In this new study, researchers aimed to analyze the relationships between these variables in the context of the health of women, for whom the risk of MetS increases with age. The study involved 390 women in middle age. The stages of study: a survey-based part; anthropometric measurements; analysis of biological material (blood) in terms...

Overexpression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple cancers. Riluzole, an inhibitor of glutamate release, showed synergistic antitumor activity in combination with the multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib in preclinical models. In a phase I trial, researchers identified the toxicity profile, dose-limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of riluzole combined with sorafenib in patients with advanced cancers. "Riluzole functions as an inhibitor of GRM1 signaling through antagonism of glutamate release, and sorafenib is a multi-kinase inhibitor targeting both the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways through the inhibition of RAF1, ARAF and,...
