Tumour microenvironments are hallmarked in many cancer types. In haematological malignancies, bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) protect malignant cells from drug-induced cytotoxicity. However, less is known about malignant impact on su...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are known to protect leukemic cells from drug-induced toxicity within the bone marrow (BM) niche, however, less is known about leukemic impact on supportive MSC. The nucleoside-analogue, cytarabine (Ara-C), is a front-... Read More about Influence of Bone Marrow Stromal and Leukemic Cells on Cytarabine Chemo-Toxicity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)..

Development of a 2D leukaemia-stroma model for analyses of chemo-toxicity protection using a novel bacterial bioluminescent biosensor (2017)
Journal Article

This study aimed to develop a 2D leukaemia-stroma model of the bone marrow for analysis of stromal-mediated chemo-protection; known to contribute to chemotherapy resistance. The model must facilitate integration of a bioluminescent biosensor HA1 for...
