Overcome the Doxorubicin Resistance by Multimodal Nanoparticles in Mice

Lai P.S., Hsu C.Y., Lu H.-L., Yu H.-P., Syu W.-J., Shieh M.J., National Chung Hsing University, TW

The efficacy of many chemotherapeutic agents is reduced in cells that have developed multiple drug resistance (MDR). To address this important problem, a biodegradable polymer was coupled to the photosensitizer and the resulting photosensitizer-nanoparticles were [...]

An Evaluation Criteria of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Drug Resistant Patients in Need of Alveolar Fibroblasts: Match between Carbon Nanotube Bound Fibroblast Defense and Patient Drug Resistance: NIDHI Criteria

Sharma R., Goel N., Kwon S., Florida State University, US

We report first time a criterion of evaluating the need of choosing alveolar fibroblasts immune to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in LRTI patients who display fatal drug resistance and specific pattern of bacterial infection. [...]
