Cross-sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents in radiation-sensitive mutants of murine leukemia cells. [PDF]
Two independently isolated radiation-sensitive mutants, M10 and LX830, of mouse L5178Y cells were compared for their sensitivity to various DNA-damaging agents. These two mutants share hypersensitivity to gamma rays, bleomycin, arabinofuranosyl cytosine (Ara-C) and aphidicolin.

Chloroquine plays a cell-dependent role in the response to treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma [PDF]
In this study, our aim is to assess the role played by autophagy and its inhibition in the different PDAC cellular compartments, and its involvement in chemo-resistance using primary human pancreatic cancer-derived cells (PCC) and Cancer Associated ...

Efficiency Comparison between Radiotherapy Alone And In The Presence of Radio- or Photo- Sensitizers on Viability of DFW and HT29 Cell Lines: From Simulations to Experimental Results [PDF]
Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) is a conventional cancer treatment which address needs of most cancerous patients. However, toxicity of high X-ray energies increases side effects to the normal tissues.

Small inhibitor of Bcl-2, HA14-1, selectively enhanced the apoptotic effect of cisplatin by modulating Bcl-2 family members in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells [PDF]
Inhibition or downregulation of Bcl-2 represents a new therapeutic approach to by-pass chemoresistance in cancer cells. Therefore, we explored the potential of this approach in breast cancer cells.
