Mitoriboscins : mitochondrial-based therapeutics targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs), bacteria and pathogenic yeast (2017)
Journal Article
Ozsvari, B., Fiorillo, M., Bonuccelli, G., Cappello, A., Frattaruolo, L., Sotgia, F., …Lisanti, M. (2017). Mitoriboscins : mitochondrial-based therapeutics targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs), bacteria and pathogenic yeast. Oncotarget, 2017(8), 67457-67472. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.19084

The “endo-symbiotic theory of mitochondrial evolution” states that mitochondrial organelles evolved from engulfed aerobic bacteria, after millions of years of symbiosis and adaptation. Here, we have exploited this premise to design new antibiotics an...

Scientific reports, 7(4699), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-04740-3

Profiling of wild and laboratory tsetse populations using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing allowed us to examine whether the “Wigglesworthia-Sodalis-Wolbachia dogma” operates across species and populations. The most abundant taxa, in wild and labora...
