Glutamine and Cancer

Glutamine and Cancer

Wiley W. Souba, M.D., Sc.D. From the Division of Surgical Oncology, Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts   Objective This overview on glutamine and cancer discusses the importance of glutamine for tumor growth, summarizes the alterations in interorgan glutamine metabolism that develop in the tumor-bearing host, and reviews the potential […]

Evaluate SAC Calcium on two dosing schedules for tumor growth inhibition (TGI)

Evaluate SAC Calcium on two dosing schedules for tumor growth inhibition (TGI)

– in the COLO 205 human colorectal adenocarcinoma nude mouse xenograft model   NTS Research contracted Charles River Discovery Services North Carolina (CR Discovery Services) to evaluate SAC Calcium on two dosing schedules for tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in the COLO 205 human colorectal adenocarcinoma nude mouse xenograft model. In the Colo205-e347 study, SAC Calcium […]

Calcium electroporation in three cell lines

a comparison of bleomycin and calcium, calcium compounds, and pulsing conditions Stine Krog Frandsen a, Hanne Gissel b, Pernille Hojman c, Jens Eriksena, d, Julie Gehl a,⁎   Abstract Background: Electroporation with calcium (calcium electroporation) can induce ATP depletion-associated cellular death. In the clinical setting, the cytotoxic drug bleomycin is currently used with electroporation (electrochemotherapy) […]

Direct Therapeutic Applications of Calcium Electroporation to Effectively Induce Tumor Necrosis

Stine Krog Frandsen1, Hanne Gissel2, Pernille Hojman3, Trine Tramm4, Jens Eriksen1,5, and Julie Gehl1 Abstract Electroporation of cells with short, high-voltage pulses causes a transient permeabilization of cell membranes that permits passage of otherwise nonpermeating ions and molecules. In this study, we illustrate how  lectroporation with isotonic calcium can achieve highly effective cancer cell kill […]
