Development of block copolymer based nanocarriers for the solubilization and delivery of valspodar
DownloadFall 2011
One of the major causes of failure in cancer chemotherapy is multidrug resistance (MDR), where cancer cells become resistant to different types of anticancer drugs. Over-expression of membrane efflux pumps like P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which recognizes different chemotherapeutic agents and...

In many tumors, persistently-active signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) imparts several oncogenic features such as survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune escape. Therefore, STAT3 targeting in cancer and cancer-exposed dendritic cells (DCs) is important for cancer...

Effect of Regular Dietary Consumption of Beans or Peas on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Blood Pressure in Men and Women with Mild Hypercholesterolemia
DownloadSpring 2015
Pulse consumption has been associated with beneficial effects on heart health. In this randomized controlled trial, 51 participants with mild hypercholesterolemia were randomly assigned to consume study food items containing ¾ cup beans, peas, or rice (control) per day, 5 days per week for 6...

Lifestyle modifications that induce energy deficit, such as diet and physical activity are considered the cornerstone of weight management. The overall purpose of this research was to compare the effects of an acute nutritional intervention comprised of a high-protein (HP) diet replacement versus...

Evaluation of Hypoxia Induced Regulation of Nucleoside and Amino Acid Membrane Transporters in Breast Cancer
DownloadSpring 2020
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) utilizes radioactively tagged molecules to identify cancerous tissue. In most cases, membrane transporters control entry of these molecules into human cancer cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is the master homeostatic regulator during hypoxia in human...
