Glioblastoma (GBM) carries a dismal prognosis largely due to acquired resistance to the standard treatment, which incorporates the chemotherapy temozolomide (TMZ). Inhibiting the proteasomal pathway is an emerging strategy, where combination treatments are under clinical investigation. We hypothesiz...
Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) with sustained synthesis of the DNA repair enzyme, O6-methyl guanine DNA methytransferase (MGMT), are rendered resistant to Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. Here, we hypothesized that pretreatment with the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib (BTZ, Velcade) migh...
A study on a newly developed tumor model to elucidated molecular changes in the stroma versus the tumor compartment by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment
