Modulation of HER2 internalization enhances single-dose antibody-drug potency in HER2+ gastric cancer [PDF]
HER2 is a membrane receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in 18–20% of gastric tumors. Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets HER2-positive (HER2+) cancer cells with a chemotherapeutic agent, emtansine.

Differential effects of lovastatin on cisplatin responses in normal human mesothelial cells versus cancer cells: implication for therapy. [PDF]
The cancer killing efficacy of standard chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin (CDDP) is limited by their side effects to normal tissues. Therefore, research efforts optimizing the safety and efficacy of those agents are clinically relevant.
