The predictive capacity of in vitro preclinical models to evaluate drugs for the treatment of retinoblastoma

Paul Joseph Dyson, Irina Sinenko, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson

Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer of the eye. Of the small number of drugs are used to treat retinoblastoma, all have been repurposed from drugs developed for other conditions. In order to find drugs or drug combinations better suited to the improv ...

Combi-seq for multiplexed transcriptome-based profiling of drug combinations using deterministic barcoding in single-cell droplets

Christoph Merten, Ngoc Hien Du

Anti-cancer therapies often exhibit only short-term effects. Tumors typically develop drug resistance causing relapses that might be tackled with drug combinations. Identification of the right combination is challenging and would benefit from high-content, ...

Repurposed drug combination via high-throughput screening and dual drug delivery system development for the treatment of retinoblastoma

Po-Jen Tseng

The goal of retinoblastoma (RB) treatment is to save the child's life, eyes and functional vision, with that order of priority. The management of RB is complex and involves strategically chosen methods of surgical enucleation, external beam radiotherapy, i ...

Modeling of a capacitive sensor dedicated to drug injection

Catherine Dehollain

to follow up patients who inject themselves insulin with injection pen is a quite complex task. Due to the repetition of injections, and the numerous influent parameter the patient can easily made an injection mistake and it is difficult for health-takers ...

Optimization of drug combinations using Feedback System Control

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

We describe a protocol for the discovery of synergistic drug combinations for the treatment of disease. Synergistic drug combinations lead to the use of drugs at lower doses, which reduces side effects and can potentially lead to reduced drug resistance, w ...

Rapid optimization of drug combinations for the optimal angiostatic treatment of cancer

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Drug combinations can improve angiostatic cancer treatment efficacy and enable the reduction of side effects and drug resistance. Combining drugs is non-trivial due to the high number of possibilities. We applied a feedback system control (FSC) technique w ...

A streamlined search technology for identification of synergistic drug combinations

Hubert van den Bergh, Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

A major key to improvement of cancer therapy is the combination of drugs. Mixing drugs that already exist on the market may offer an attractive alternative. Here we report on a new model-based streamlined feedback system control (s-FSC) method, based on a ...

Discovery of a low order drug-cell response surface for applications in personalized medicine

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Yiyang Li

The cell is a complex system involving numerous components, which may often interact in a non-linear dynamic manner. Diseases at the cellular level are thus likely to involve multiple cellular constituents and pathways. As some drugs, or drug combinations, ...

Inferring about individual drug and schizotypy effects on cognitive functioning in polydrug using mephedrone users before and after clubbing

Christine Mohr, Daniela Herzig

Objective Mephedrone has been recently made illegal in Europe, but little empirical evidence is available on its impact on human cognitive functions. We investigated acute and chronic effects of mephedrone consumption on drug-sensitive cognitive measures, ...
