Chemosensitivity testing: another chapter.
In vitro chemosensitivity testing of anticancer agents for patient treatment has evolved gradually since the time of our report in 1978 (7) on the use of a human tumor cloning or tumor stem cell assay for this purpose. Although some technical problems remain, definite improvement has been seen in the frequency of in vitro sensitivity results with several assay systems {2-4). One important quest...
متن کاملCancer Chemosensitivity Testing: Review
Since chemotherapy started in 1940s, chemosensitivity testing has been both a very attractive field and one fraught with potential pitfalls. Many methods were developed and brought initial promises, yet later ending in disappointment and were eliminated. For example, in the 1970s clonogenic assay was generally believed to be the best testing method for predicting clinical outcome. However, tech...
متن کاملChallenges of chemosensitivity testing.
One of the major goals in cancer therapeutics is to increase efficacy and reduce toxicity by tailoring therapy to individual patients. It is well known that tumors and patients are heterogeneous, and with every therapeutic approach, whether immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or antivascular strategy, patient response can be extremely variable, ranging from progression to complete responses. Understan...
متن کاملThe botulinum toxin LD50 potency assay - another chapter, another mystery.
Observers of the potency assay used for botulinum toxin were greeted last year with the news that one company had an alternative, non-animal alternative in place. But all was not as it seemed from the press release, and over a year later, information is still lacking.
متن کاملNutrient Sensing: Another Chemosensitivity of the Olfactory System
Olfaction is a major sensory modality involved in real time perception of the chemical composition of the external environment. Olfaction favors anticipation and rapid adaptation of behavioral responses necessary for animal survival. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that there is a direct action of metabolic peptides on the olfactory network. Orexigenic peptides such as ghrelin and...
