Computational analysis of multi-omic data for the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of neuroblastoma
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. The survival rates of patients with neuroblastoma, especially those in the high-risk category, are still low despite varied therapies. The detailed ... -
The development of targeting nanosystems for the treatment of glioblastoma and neuroblastoma tumours
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Chlorotoxin (CTX) peptide selectively targets glioblastoma multiforme (GB) and neuroblastoma (NB) and has excellent blood-brain barrier permeability. Therefore, CTX is a promising targeting molecule for nanoparticle (NP) ... -
The effect of sunitinib on neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell growth
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Cancer is a global health catastrophe, with neuroblastoma, the most common solid childhood tumor, and glioblastoma, a deadly brain tumor, being aggressive and unresponsive to current treatment modalities. These tumors are ... -
The effects of doxorubicin loaded chitosan-alginate nanoparticles on SK-N-BE(2) neuroblastoma cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Cancer is a life-threatening disease and one of the leading causes of death globally. Cancer was thought to be associated with developed countries only but it is increasingly becoming a major health challenge in developing ...
