Histopathological impact of Redox-responsive methacrylamide based micellar nanoparticles on Orthotopic Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancers (2022)
Journal Article
Mehradnia, F., Moloney, C., Cavanagh, R., Pearce, A. K., Ritchie, A., Clarke, P., …Alexander, C. (2022). Histopathological impact of Redox-responsive methacrylamide based micellar nanoparticles on Orthotopic Models of Triple Negative Breast Cancers. British Journal of Pharmacy, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.5920/bjpharm.1173

The therapeutic efficacy of anticancer nanocarriers ishighly dependent on their size, shape, targeting ability, and stimuli-responsiveness. Herein, we studied the in vivo therapeutic efficacy ofDoxorubicin (Dox) loaded redox responsive micellar-like...

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors enhance chemotherapy in preclinical models of esophageal adenocarcinoma by targeting cancer-associated fibroblasts (2022)
Journal Article
Sharpe, B. P., Hayden, A., Manousopoulou, A., Cowie, A., Walker, R. C., Harrington, J., …Underwood, T. J. (2022). Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors enhance chemotherapy in preclinical models of esophageal adenocarcinoma by targeting cancer-associated fibroblasts. Cell Reports Medicine, 3(6), Article 100541. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100541

The chemotherapy resistance of esophageal adenocarcinomas (EACs) is underpinned by cancer cell extrinsic mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment (TME). We demonstrate that, by targeting the tumor-promoting functions of the predominant TME cell type,...

Synthesis, characterisation and evaluation of hyperbranched N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamides for transport and delivery in pancreatic cell lines in vitro and in vivo (2022)
Journal Article
Anane-Adjei, A. B., Fletcher, N. L., Cavanagh, R. J., Houston, Z. H., Crawford, T., Pearce, A. K., …Alexander, C. (2022). Synthesis, characterisation and evaluation of hyperbranched N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamides for transport and delivery in pancreatic cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Biomaterials Science, 10(9), 2328-2344. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1bm01548f

Hyperbranched polymers have many promising features for drug delivery, owing to their ease of synthesis, multiple functional group content, and potential for high drug loading with retention of solubility. Here we prepared hyperbranched N-(2-hydroxyp...

Targeting hypoxia regulated sodium driven bicarbonate transporters reduces triple negative breast cancer metastasis (2022)
Journal Article
Harris, A. L., Clarke, P. A., Carroll, C. P., Bolland, H., Vancauwenberghe, E., Collier, P., …McIntyre, A. (2022). Targeting hypoxia regulated sodium driven bicarbonate transporters reduces triple negative breast cancer metastasis. Neoplasia, 25, 41-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neo.2022.01.003

Regions of low oxygen (hypoxia) are found in >50% of breast tumours, most frequently in the more aggressive triple negative breast cancer subtype (TNBC). Metastasis is the cause of 90% of breast cancer patient deaths. Regions of tumour hypoxia tend t...
