Journal ArticleDOI
Liposomes and nanoparticles: nanosized vehicles for drug delivery in cancer.
TL;DR: Current knowledge on liposome and nanoparticles offer increased precision in chemotherapeutic targeting of prostate cancer and new avenues for the treatment of breast cancer are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of nitric oxide in cancer.
TL;DR: It appears that high levels of NOS expression may be cytostatic or cytotoxic for tumor cells, whereas low level activity can have the opposite effect and promote tumour growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrin alpha 6/beta 4 complex is located in hemidesmosomes, suggesting a major role in epidermal cell-basement membrane adhesion.
Arnoud Sonnenberg,Jero Calafat,H. Janssen,H Daams,L M van der Raaij-Helmer,R Falcioni,Stephen J. Kennel,John D. Aplin,J Baker,Marilena Loizidou +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that different integrin complexes play differing roles in cell-cell and cell- matrix adhesion in the epidermis, and suggest that the cytoplasmic domains of these transmembrane glycoproteins may contribute to the structure of hemidesmosomal plaques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicology and clinical potential of nanoparticles.
Lara Yildirimer,Nguyen T. K. Thanh,Nguyen T. K. Thanh,Marilena Loizidou,Alexander M. Seifalian,Alexander M. Seifalian +5 more
TL;DR: This work states that current research lacks a unifying protocol for the toxicological profiling of NPs and in vitro toxicity results do not easily translate into in vivo toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual reality training for surgical trainees in laparoscopic surgery
Myura Nagendran,Kurinchi Selvan Gurusamy,Rajesh Aggarwal,Marilena Loizidou,Brian R. Davidson +4 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the operative performance in the virtual reality group was significantly better than the control group and the results became non-significant when the random-effects model was used, and two trials that could not be included in the meta-analysis showed a reduction in operating time.
