  2. Temsirolimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temsirolimus

    Temsirolimus is a specific inhibitor of mTOR and interferes with the synthesis of proteins that regulate proliferation, growth, and survival of tumor cells. Though temsirolimus shows activity on its own, it is also known to be converted to sirolimus (rapamycin) in vivo; [4] therefore, its activity may be more attributed to its metabolite rather than the prodrug itself (despite claims to the ...

    Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin and sold under the brand name Rapamune among others, is a macrolide compound that is used to coat coronary stents, prevent organ transplant rejection, treat a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis, and treat perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa).

  5. Serotonin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin

    Besides mammals, serotonin is found in all bilateral animals including worms and insects, [19] as well as in fungi and in plants. [20] Serotonin's presence in insect venoms and plant spines serves to cause pain, which is a side-effect of serotonin injection. [21] [22] Serotonin is produced by pathogenic amoebae, causing diarrhea in the human ...

  9. Antheridium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antheridium

    The female counterpart to the antheridium in cryptogams is the archegonium, and in flowering plants is the gynoecium. An antheridium typically consists of sterile cells and spermatogenous tissue. The sterile cells may form a central support structure or surround the spermatogenous tissue as a protective jacket.
