Development of a Preclinical Therapeutic Model of Human Brain Metastasis with Chemoradiotherapy [PDF]
Currently, survival of breast cancer patients with brain metastasis ranges from 2 to 16 months. In experimental brain metastasis studies, only 10% of lesions with the highest permeability exhibited cytotoxic responses to paclitaxel or doxorubicin ...

Fluoroquinolones as enhancers of photocarcinogenesis: Proposed pathomechanisms
Fluoroquinolones are photosensitizing drugs in humans, as they can enhance effects of ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation on the skin. UVA causes lesions both to deoxyribonucleic acid and other cellular organelles by Type I and Type II reactions (major and ...

Changes in Radiation Sensitivity and Steroid Receptor Content Induced by Hormonal Agents and Ionizing Radiation in Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro [PDF]
Possible influences of tamoxifen and estradiol on in vitro radiation sensitivity and cellular receptor content after irradiation and/or tamoxifen treatment were studied in breast cancer cell lines; estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) positive cell lines MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAM(R)-1 and the ER and PgR negative cell line MDA-MB-231.

NEK1 kinase domain structure and its dynamic protein interactome after exposure to Cisplatin
NEK family kinases are serine/threonine kinases that have been functionally implicated in the regulation of the disjunction of the centrosome, the assembly of the mitotic spindle, the function of the primary cilium and the DNA damage response. NEK1 shows

The role of copper in disulfiram-induced toxicity and radiosensitisation of cancer cells. [PDF]
Disulfiram has been used for several decades in the treatment of alcoholism. It now shows promise as an anti-cancer drug and radiosensitizer. Proposed mechanisms of action include the induction of oxidative stress and inhibition of proteasome activity ...
