Suicidal gene therapy in an NF-κB-controlled tumor environment as monitored by a secreted blood reporter by Zalloua, P. A.

“…When NF-κB was further activated by tumor necrosis factor-α in these cells, we observed up to 10-fold increase in Gluc levels and therefore transgene expression in human glioma cells served to greatly enhance the sensitization of these cells to the prodrug, 5-fluorocytosine both in cultured cells and in vivo subcutaneous tumor xenograft model. …”

Effects of electrode morphology on the performance of BPSH and PATS ionic polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…The performance of the transducers fabricated with the novel electroding technique exceeds the performance of those fabricated with the impregnation-reduction method by a factor of between 2 and 5. Transducers fabricated with the impregnation-reduction method generally produce 200 to 500 microstrain/V while the ones fabricated with the new process exhibited free strain values of greater than 1550 microstrain/V at low frequencies.…”
