New N-acyl amino acid-functionalized biodegradable polyesters for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications (2016)
Journal Article
Taresco, V., Suksiriworapong, J., Styliari, I. D., Argent, R. H., Swainson, S. M., Booth, J., …Garnett, M. C. (in press). New N-acyl amino acid-functionalized biodegradable polyesters for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. RSC Advances, 6(111), 109401-109405. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6RA21464A

A novel class of biodegradable polyesters has been generated by coupling poly(glycerol adipate) with N-acyl aromatic amino acids. This new set of polymers from this highly versatile polymeric platform may offer unprecedented new opportunities to prod...

3-dimensional patient-derived lung cancer assays reveal resistance to standards-of-care promoted by stromal cells but sensitivity to histone deacetylase inhibitors (2016)
Journal Article
Onion, D., Argent, R. H., Reece-Smith, A. M., Craze, M. L., Pineda, R. G., Clarke, P. A., …Grabowska, A. M. (2016). 3-dimensional patient-derived lung cancer assays reveal resistance to standards-of-care promoted by stromal cells but sensitivity to histone deacetylase inhibitors. Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 15(4), https://doi.org/10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-15-0598

There is a growing recognition that current preclinical models do not reflect the tumor microenvironment in cellular, biological, and biophysical content and this may have a profound effect on drug efficacy testing, especially in the era of molecular...
