This project is going to use a combination of two tools of different approaches to kill cancer cell lines. The first tool is photodynamic therapy (PDT) which has the induction of cell death by apoptosis/necrosis and autophagy processes as the greater biological effect. The second approach is going to focus on the use of chemicals and siRNA to inhibit APE1 protein. APE1 is a key protein in…
Nanotechnology promises to exceed the impact of the Industrial Revolution and it is projected to become a market of one trillion dollars in 2015. Nanomaterials (NM) are already being used in sports equipment, tires, stain-resistant clothing, sunscreens, cosmetics and electronics. The rapid development in nanotechnology has led, as well as other technological advances, the prediction of ma…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a last-line curative treatment modality used for several types of cancer. PDT induces the formation of extracellular vesicles (e.g., exosomes) that regulate resistance and survival mechanisms in tumor cells through paracrine signaling. Consequently, the extracellular vesicles enable tumor cells to survive PDT while making non-treated or sublethally afflicted …
