Abstract
Kv10.1 has recently become generally accepted as a promising cancer _target, as it is ectopically expressed in the majority of solid tumors. Due to its cell-surface accessibility, Kv10.1 has a strong potential for tumor treatment and diagnosis. Given that its mode of action is likely independent of conventional cancer pathways such as tyrosine kinases, KV10.1 opens a novel window for treating cancer. In this review we will give an overview of the current status of data linking Kv10.1 to cancer, and propose techniques that could exploit Kv10.1s properties for the management of cancer

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
