1. Functional studies of calcein acetoxymethyl ester in human tumor cells
Abstract : A fluorometric assay for functional measurement of P-glycoprotein 170 (Pgp) mediated transport in cell lines, using the acetoxymethyl ester of calcein (calcein/AM) as a probe was established. The myeloma cell line RPMI 8226/S and the two Pgp-expressing doxorubicin resistant subcell lines 8226/dox6 (low) and 8226/dox40 (high) were used. READ MORE

2. Asymmetric Cellular Microenvironments
Abstract : This thesis presents methods to combine 3D cell culture, microfluidics and gradients on a controlled cellular scale. 3D cultures in biological extracellular matrix gels or synthetic gels bridge the gap between organ-tissue cultures and traditional 2D cultures. READ MORE

3. Spectroscopic studies of dynorphin neuropeptides and the amyloid beta-peptide : The consequences of biomembrane interactions
Abstract : Dynorphin A, dynorphin B and big dynorphin are endogenous opioid neuropeptides. They play an important role in a wide variety of physiological functions such as regulation of pain processing and memory acquisition. Such actions are generally mediated through the κ-receptors. READ MORE

4. Circumventing drug resistance : Studies exploring the expediency of a total cell kill chemoresistance assay
Abstract : Cellular resistance to anti-cancer drugs is considered to be the major cause of treatment failure in clinical practice. The present studies have therefore focused on ways to circumvent resistance as evaluated by an in vitro chemoresistance assay. READ MORE
