Re: Mo #31899
K reactivated p53 in glioblastoma cell line (U-87 MG), but that was in vitro. Yesterday's PR seems to be in vivo, which is really exciting because human Gliobastoma Multiforme (hGBM) is the most aggressive form of brain cancers.

I don't think K can cross the BBB on its own because it's water-soluble. Water-soluble substances such as penicillin can't cross the BBB. It's possible that U of B figured out a way to use transport proteins to help K crosses the BBB, similar to the way Glucose is transported by GLUT-1.

Hopefully Leo will share the preclinical data presented at future conferences. I'm really curious about how K crosses the BBB.

Does anyone know if K crosses the Blood Brain Barrier?
