The effects of PGA2 on cell cycle progression in oesophageal carcinoma cells
Samodien, Sedicka (University of the Western Cape, 2003)The molecular mechanisms causing anti-mitotic and cytotoxic effects of prostaglandin .A2 [PGA2 (CzoHroOa)] treatment of human oesophageal carcinoma (WHCO3) cells were investigated. WHCO3 cells, incubated with cytotoxic ... -
Gene expression of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes in rat liver and kidney: differential effects of rooibos and honeybush herbal teas
Abrahams, S. (2011)Laboratory studies, epidemiological investigations and human clinical trials indicate that flavonoids have important effects on cancer chemoprevention and therapy. Flavonoids may interfere in several steps that lead to ... -
The modulating effect of fatty acids on the lipid profile in colon epithelial mucosa in Vivo

Radiosensitization effects of gold nanoparticles in proton therapy
Cunningham, Charnay (University of the Western Cape, 2017)Despite recent advances in radiotherapy, some tumours have shown to be resistant to treatment and patients still experience long term side effects. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been identified as effective radiosensitizers ... -
Tumour suppression and subdual of cancer (tussc) in elephants: An in vitro study to shed light on Peto’s paradox
Jansen van Vuuren, Amѐlia (University of the Western Cape, 2022)Logic would suggest that cancer incidence is related to body mass and longevity. Gigantic animals such as elephants with a longer lifespan (more lifetime of cell divisions) and a larger body size (more cells) will have ...
