Is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma resistant to cisplatin?

04 April 2018 0 8K Report

I can't find an article saying it directly. Some of them tells that the TMEM205 protein is overexpressed in the pancreas and somehow is related with resistance, but none of them says why no one uses cisplatin to treat PDAC. I only see studies with gemcitabine + other drugs (then we have cisplatin), but never cisplatin alone.

CRISPR partial gene reduction but protein is still detectable, wth?

Hello everyone, I'm helping an undergrad student who tried to knockout the DUSP2 gene in the PDAC cell line (Mia Paca-2). The RT-qPCR result showed a 60% reduction of gene expression, but the...

In molecular dynamics simulations, do you know potentials appropriate for surfaces/interfaces?

I mean that most of the potentials (Lennard-Jones, DLVO etc..) have a spherical symmetry thus are not appropriate when getting close to a surface/interface. Indeed, the physics of a surface is not...

In the Friedmann model, it is possible to link the radius of curvature of the universe with time; is this possible with more sophisticated models?

a consequence would be that time is 'only' a function of space dimensions...I made the demonstration in the frame of the FLRW model and a vacuum dominated universe. To question the nature of time...
