    Abstract: Cancer stem cells exhibit different metabolic profiles from other cancer cells, such that they do not readily respond to treatment using conventional chemotherapeutic agents. Studies disclosed herein now demonstrate that the glycylcycline antibiotic tigecycline (a tetracycline derivative) exhibits anti-cancer activity, including activity against cancer stem cells. This anti-neoplastic activity appears to be due to inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the cancer cells. In preferred embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a hematological cancer, such as leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma.

    Abstract: A system for sub-surface fluorescence imaging is provided, the system comprising: an excitation source for selectably emitting light at at least one of at least two excitation wavelengths or wavelength ranges at a target surface; and a light detector for detecting fluorescence emission wavelengths or wavelength ranges from the target surface; wherein at least one of the at least two excitation wavelengths or wavelength ranges causes fluorescing of at least one marker at a sub-surface depth, the emitted light at each of the at least two excitation wavelengths or wavelength ranges having different depths of optical penetration and causing fluorescing at respective different depths. A method for sub-surface fluorescence imaging is also provided, in some cases exemplified by a reconstruction of the sub-surface fluorescence topography.

    Abstract: A medical device is for use in association with a medical image of the gland or organ having a known reference point. The medical device comprises a structural frame, a horizontal joint, a vertical joint, a pan join, a tilt joint a medical instrument assembly and a control system. The medical device is positioned at a predetermined location relative to the medical image reference point. Each of the horizontal joint, the vertical joint, the pan joint and the tilt joint have a position sensor and are operably connected to the frame. The medical instrument assembly is operably connected to a sensor and to the horizontal joint, the vertical joint, the pan joint and the tilt joint. The control system is operably connected to the other elements whereby the control system determines the position of a predetermined location on the medical instrument assembly relative to the structural frame.
