Publication number: 20180207234Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing cancer and metastasis. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing cancer by decreasing the expression and/or activity of Flightless I. Also provided are methods for inhibiting the growth of a cancerous cell and methods for inhibiting formation and/or growth of a tumour which also rely on decreasing the expression and/or activity of Flightless I. The present invention also extends to methods for diagnosing cancer, methods for determining if a subject is susceptible to developing cancer, and methods for assessing progression of cancer based on the finding that increased expression and/or activity of Flightless I is associated with cancer development, growth and metastasis. The present invention also provides methods for screening for a candidate therapeutic agent useful for treating or preventing cancer, and related pharmaceutical compositions and kits.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Allison June Cowin, Zlatko Kopecki, Ian Andrew Darby, Dodie Stephanie Pouniotis

Publication number: 20140017006Abstract: A paving material for filling gaps between paving blocks or the like, the paving material comprising a powdered or granulated mixture of: inert particulate; a water-soluble resin formable from a polymerisation reaction between formaldehyde and an at least difunctional nucleophile; and a water-soluble acid. The paving material is filled into gaps between blocks and then liquid water is applied thereto, or the sand is exposed to ambient humidity (gaseous water). Upon contact with the water, the resin coats the sand and then sets hard, thereby stabilising the block paving.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: John Thomas Liddy, Paul Andrew Darby
