Abstract: An antineoplastic drug-free anticancer strategy enabled by host defense peptides (HDPs)-mimicking synthetic polypeptides is reported. The polypeptide exhibits a broad spectrum of anticancer activity in 12 cancer cell lines, including drug-resistant and highly metastatic tumor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2017.03.005
Abstract: Chemotherapy treatment of cancer patients has shifted from inpatient to outpatient administration. Thus, family members are potentially exposed to cytotoxic drug residues from patients' excretions inside their homes. The study's aim was to evaluate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.2340/1651-226x.2025.43098
Abstract: Background Immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) complicate the treatment of patients with cancer. Rapid drug desensitization (RDD) is not a standard treatment option in Northern Europe as in Southern Europe and the US. Thus, in… read more here.

Antineoplastic Drug-Induced Cardiotoxicity: A Redox Perspective
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.00167
Abstract: Antineoplastic drugs can be associated with several side effects, including cardiovascular toxicity (CTX). Biochemical studies have identified multiple mechanisms of CTX. Chemoterapeutic agents can alter redox homeostasis by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species… read more here.
