Multi-component bioresponsive nanoparticles for synchronous delivery of docetaxel and TUBB3 siRNA to lung cancer cells (2021)
Journal Article

Bioresponsive nanoparticles (NPs) are of interest for anticancer nanomedicines, owing to the possibility to ‘design in’ selective modulation of drug release at target sites. Here we describe the double emulsion formulation of redox-responsive NPs bas...

Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: A proposal for classification (2021)
Journal Article

Breast lesions with a prominent myoepithelial cell component constitute a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant neoplastic proliferations. These lesions are often dual epithelial‐myoepithelial but may be purely myoepithelial cell in nature. Ben... Read More about Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: A proposal for classification.

The prognostic significance of Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (2021)
Journal Article

Background Impaired DNA repair mechanism is one of the cancer hallmarks. Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is essential for genomic integrity. FEN1 has key roles during base excision repair (BER) and replication. We hypothesised a role for FEN1 in breast c...
