Journal Article
Plummer, R., Wilson, R., Calvert, H., Boddy, A., Griffin, M., Sludden, J., …Nishiya, T. (2011). A Phase I clinical study of cisplatin-incorporated polymeric micelles (NC-6004) in patients with solid tumours. British Journal of Cancer, 104(4), 593-598. https://doi.org/10.1038/bjc.2011.6

Background: On the basis of preclinical studies of NC-6004, a cisplatin-incorporated micellar formulation, we hypothesised that NC-6004 could show lower toxicity than cisplatin and show greater anti-tumour activity in phase I study. Methods: A total... Read More about A Phase I clinical study of cisplatin-incorporated polymeric micelles (NC-6004) in patients with solid tumours.

Background: Hypoxia is as an indicator of poor treatment outcome. Consistently, hypoxic HCT116 colorectal cancer cells are resistant to oxaliplatin, although the mechanistic basis is unclear. This study sought to investigate the relative contribution... Read More about Contribution of HIF-1 and drug penetrance to oxaliplatin resistance in hypoxic colorectal cancer cells.

Journal of Petrology, 49(8), 1449-1471. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egn032

Crystals in many magmatic rocks are heterogeneous in terms of their isotope composition. Detailed crystal-isotope stratigraphy (CIS) studies have shown that crystals act as reliable recorders of their magma source composition and of the pathways of m...
