Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to inhibition of XPR1 :KIDINS220-mediated phosphate export to treat cancer, in particular, ovarian and uterine cancers. The subject matter disclosed herein is also generally directed to determining cancer dependency on phosphate export by detecting the expression of SLC34A2. Compositions for inhibiting XPR1 :KIDINS220-mediated phosphate export are also described.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for producing a reinforced organic polymeric material by mixing a dispersion comprising a plasticizer and cellulose nanowhiskers into a carbon matrix. The nanowhiskers are dispersed in a liquid dispersion and pumped into an extruder in which is arranged the at least partially molten carbon matrix. The extrusion process will thoroughly mix the cellulose whiskers into the carbon matrix, thus providing a homogenous mixture being highly reinforced. The present invention further discloses a polymer produced according to the above process comprising a CAB/CNW mixture, as well as a process for producing said whiskers.
