Nanomaterials and Block Copolymers for Overcoming Multidrug Resistance in Cancer
The development of multidrug resistance in cancer is one of the leading causes for decreased chemotherapy efficacy and is particularly threatening to aggressive cancers such as that of the pancreas. In cancers where chemotherapy is amongst the few treatment options, it is crucial to develop …

The Relationship between Tamoxifen and Depressive Symptoms in Women with Breast Cancer
… women with breast cancer and the presence of the drug tamoxifen, are more severely depressed than women with breast cancer and the absence of tamoxifen. Average Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores did not differ between the two sub-groups; however, two significant group differences were found. …

Chitosan Decontamination with Non-Thermal Nitrogen Plasma to Enable Internal Use
<p>Chitosan (CS) is a ubiquitous biopolymer and is recognized as a promising biomedical material. Potential medical applications for chitosan are extensive and many have shown impressive results. However, chitosan is clinically only used as a topical hemostatic agent due to an inability to …

Self-reported Exercise and Risk of Osteoporosis in Prostate Cancer Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy
… response to testosterone. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) leads to chemical castration and suppression of prostate cancer cell production. Testosterone levels less then 300ng/ml decreases bone mineral density and could result in osteoporosis. Studies have shown that during the first year of …

Curcumin: A Multi-dimensional Approach to Pancreatic Cancer Targeting Cell Death and Exosomes
… in part to increasing resistance to cancer therapy. Cancer therapy resistance is caused by adaptations that favor survival within cancer cells and their environment, termed the tumor microenvironment. Intracellular adaptations include the overexpression of resistance-linked genes, such as …

Effects of Liposome-Encapsulated TNF-Alpha and Radiation against Colon Cancer
<p>Previous studies have shown that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) can augment the antitumor effects of radiation, inhibiting tumor progression to a greater extent than either modality alone. However, nonspecific toxicities associated with TNF-α have limited its use as an adjuvant. This limitation …

Exosomal Survivin-T34A: A Novel, Potential Cancer Therapeutic
… a novel approach for selective cancer gene therapy has yet to be ful-ly evaluated. We have recently described that cells generated to express a stable form of the mutant protein, released this Survivin-T34A to the conditioned medium. When this conditioned medium was collected and deposited …
