Project description:We hypothesized that gene expression changes in EMT6.5 tumors after Microbeam Radiotherapy (MRT) are different from those seen after broad beam (BB) at 4-48 h postirradiation. Our findings demonstrate molecular differences in the tumor response to MRT vs. BB and provide insight into the underlying mechanisms of MRT and BB.
Project description:Patients with cervical cancer were treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) at a dose of 45Gy in 25 fractions over five weeks, with weekly cisplatin. Biopsies were taken pre-, during and post-treatment and analysed for copy number changes.
Project description:Inflammation is a key component of pathological angiogenesis. Here we induce cornea neovascularisation using sutures placed into the cornea, and sutures are removed to induce a regression phase. We used whole transcriptome microarray to monitor gene expression profies of several genes

Our findings demonstrate molecular differences in the tumor response to MRT vs. BB and provide insight into the underlying mechanisms of MRT and BB. Total RNA obtained from isolated EMT6.5 tumours irradiated by MRT or BB at 4, 24 or 48 hours post-irradiation compared to unirradiated control tumours.
