Mathematical Model of the Impact of Chemotherapy and Anti-Angiogenic Therapy on Drug Resistance in Glioma Growth [PDF]
This research presents a mathematical model of glioma growth dynamics with drug resistance, capturing interactions among five cell populations: glial cells, sensitive glioma cells, resistant glioma cells, endothelial cells, and neuron cells, along with two therapy agent populations: chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy.

Exploiting evolution to treat drug resistance: Combination therapy and the double bind [PDF]
Although many anti cancer therapies are successful in killing a large percentage of tumour cells when initially administered, the evolutionary dynamics underpinning tumour progression mean that often resistance is an inevitable outcome, allowing for new ...

Pre-Clinical Tools for Predicting Drug Efficacy in Treatment of Tuberculosis [PDF]
Combination therapy has, to some extent, been successful in limiting the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Drug combinations achieve this advantage by simultaneously acting on different targets and metabolic pathways.

Combination Drug Therapy for Cryptosporidiosis in AIDS [PDF]
Aside from effective antiretroviral therapy, there is no consistently effective antiparasitic therapy for cryptosporidiosis in AIDS. The purpose of this study was to assess safety, efficacy, and durability of combination therapy with paromomycin and azithromycin for chronic cryptosporidiosis. Patients with AIDS, chronic cryptosporidiosis, and < 100 CD4

In silico drug combination discovery for personalized cancer therapy
BackgroundDrug combination therapy, which is considered as an alternative to single drug therapy, can potentially reduce resistance and toxicity, and have synergistic efficacy. As drug combination therapies are widely used in the clinic for hypertension,

Combination treatment with recombinant methioninase enables temozolomide to arrest a BRAF V600E melanoma in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse model. [PDF]
An excessive requirement for methionine termed methionine dependence, appears to be a general metabolic defect in cancer. We have previously shown that cancer-cell growth can be selectively arrested by methionine deprivation such as with recombinant ...

Modulator Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis: An Exploration of Current Research [PDF]
Developing a drug therapy that addresses the root cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) by increasing CFTR protein levels has long been a research challenge. After genetic therapy failed because a suitable delivery system could not be found, researchers began ...
