Recommendations for In Vitro and In Vivo Testing of Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia Combined with Radiation Therapy.
(2018)Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-mediated hyperthermia (MH) coupled with radiation therapy (RT) is a novel approach that has the potential to overcome various practical difficulties encountered in cancer treatment. In this work, ... -
Reducing mechanical activation-induced amorphisation of salbutamol sulphate by co-processing with selected carboxylic acids
(2013)The unintentional generation of amorphous character in crystalline active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is an adverse consequence of mechanical activation during dosage form manufacture. In this study, we assess and ... -
The relationship between antiepileptic drug load and challenging behaviors in older adults with intellectual disability and epilepsy
(2021)Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may affect mood and behavior in people with epilepsy and intellectual disability. A high AED load, derived from AED polytherapy and/or high doses of AEDs, has been suggested to be a risk factor ... -
The relevance of using 3D cell cultures, in addition to 2D monolayer cultures, when evaluating breast cancer drug sensitivity and resistance.
(2016)Solid tumours naturally grow in 3D wherein the spatial arrangement of cells affects how they interact with each other. This suggests that 3D cell culture may mimic the natural in vivo setting better than traditional ... -
Resistance to HER2-targeted anti-cancer drugs is associated with immune evasion in cancer cells and their derived extracellular vesicles
(2017)Neuromedin U (NmU) -a neuropeptide belonging to the neuromedin family– plays a substantial role in HER2-positive breast cancer, correlating with increased aggressiveness, resistance to HER2-targeted therapies and overall ... -
A role for adenosine A1 receptor blockade in the ability of caffeine to promote MDMA "Ecstasy"-induced striatal dopamine release
(2011)Co-administration of caffeine profoundly enhances the acute toxicity of 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in rats. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of caffeine to impact upon MDMA-induced dopamine ... -
A role for serotonin in the antidepressant activity of NG Nitro-L-arginine in the rat forced swimming test
(2009)The present study determined regional serotonin (5-HT) synthesis and metabolism changes associated with the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA) and the influence of 5-HT receptor blockade in ... -

Role of kynurenine on platelet's function and beyond
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Pharmacy & Pharma. Sciences. Discipline of Pharmacy, 2020)Kynurenine is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan by the action of the tryptophan dioxygenase enzyme in the liver and the ubiquitous indolamine dioxygenase enzyme in other tissues. Although it has been shown that ... -
The Role of Mucin in the Toxicological Impact of Polystyrene Nanoparticles
(2018)The development of novel oral drug delivery systems is an expanding area of research and both new approaches for improving their efficacy and the investigation of their potential toxicological effect are crucial and should ...
