In this thesis, new approaches to improve tumour therapy for patients with inoperable, radiation- and chemoresistant tumours were in focus. Ultrasound and ionising radiation, especially accelerated ions, are both non-invasive ...
Charcterization of biotransformation systems in human cells
(2007-05-25)
-related genes, such as UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), drug transporters and transcription factors were also studied using low density arrays. The mRNAs for a variety of CYPs and liver-related factors as well as CYP1A2 and CYP3A4/7 protein were shown...
Role of estrogen receptor beta in mouse prostate and bladder with references to human diseases
(2007-11-15)
