Introduction and Aims: Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer mortality in women globally, despite advances in the development of targeted therapies. Driven by oncogenic signals, cancer cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, upregulatin...

Hypoxia modulates the stem cell population and induces EMT in the MCF-10A breast epithelial cell line (2017)
Journal Article
Daly, C. S., Flemban, A., Shafei, M., Conway, M. E., Qualtrough, D., & Dean, S. J. (2018). Hypoxia modulates the stem cell population and induces EMT in the MCF-10A breast epithelial cell line. Oncology Reports, 39(2), 483-490. https://doi.org/10.3892/or.2017.6125

A common feature among pre-malignant lesions is the induction of hypoxia through increased cell propagation and reduced access to blood flow. Hypoxia in breast cancer has been associated with poor patient prognosis, resistance to chemotherapy and inc...

Voltammetric behaviour of hydrogen peroxide at a silver electrode fabricated from a rewritable digital versatile disc (DVD) and its determination in water samples (2013)
Journal Article

In this study we investigated the possibility of applying Ag electrodes manufactured from recordable rewritable digital versatile discs (DVD-RW) for the voltammetric determination of hydrogen peroxide. The calibration plot was linear from 0.087 mM to...
