Primary mesenchymal stromal cells in co-culture with leukaemic HL-60 cells are sensitised to cytarabine-induced genotoxicity, while leukaemic cells are protected (2021)
Journal Article

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...

Influence of Bone Marrow Stromal and Leukemic Cells on Cytarabine Chemo-Toxicity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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)..

Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) are of interest as potential disinfectants due to high biocidal activity against many microorganisms. They are widely used clinically in some countries (decontamination of surgical instruments and wounds),...

Development of a 2D leukaemia-stroma model for analyses of chemo-toxicity protection using a novel bacterial bioluminescent biosensor (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

Rapid in vitro testing and characterization of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents daunorubicin and cytarabine in acute myeloid leukaemia (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Treatment success in leukaemia is impacted by patient resistance to chemotherapy including cytarabine (ara-C) and the anthracycline daunorubicin (DNR) requiring rapid pre-screening testing. DNR is converted to daunorubicinol (DNRol) by carbonyl reduc...
