Kinetics and thermodynamics of acoustic release of doxorubicin from non-stabilized polymeric micelles by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…The release and re-encapsulation of Dox into Pluronic® P105 micelles was measured by recording the fluorescence of a solution of 10 μg/ml Dox and 10 wt% P105 polymer in phosphate-buffered saline, during and after insonation by ultrasound at three temperatures (25 °C, 37 °C and 56 °C). The experimental data were modeled using a previously published model of the kinetics of the system. …”

Modulation of SLFN11 induces changes in DNA Damage response in breast cancer by Christophe Michel Raynaud (17449906)

“…Finally, as a definitive and specific way to modulate SLFN11 expression we implemented SLFN11 dCas9 (dead CRISPR associated protein 9) systems to specifically increase or decrease SLFN11 expression.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">After confirming the previously reported correlation between methylation of SLFN11 promoter and its expression across multiple cell lines, we showed in-vitro that decitabine and IFN-γ could increase moderately the expression of SLFN11 in both BT-549 and T47D cell lines. …”
