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...
