Mechanisms of growth inhibition of primary prostate epithelial cells following gamma irradiation or photodynamic therapy including senscence, necrosis, and autophagy, but not apoptosis (2015)
Journal Article
Frame, F. M., Savoie, H., Bryden, F., Giuntini, F., Mann, V. M., Simms, M. S., Boyle, R. W., & Maitland, N. J. (2016). Mechanisms of growth inhibition of primary prostate epithelial cells following gamma irradiation or photodynamic therapy including senscence, necrosis, and autophagy, but not apoptosis. Cancer medicine, 5(1), 61-73. https://doi.org/10.1002/cam4.553

In comparison to more differentiated cells, prostate cancer stem-like cells are radioresistant, which could explain radio-recurrent prostate cancer. Improvement of radiotherapeutic efficacy may therefore require combination therapy. We have investiga...

Low-temperature plasma treatment induces DNA damage leading to necrotic cell death in primary prostate epithelial cells (2015)
Journal Article
Hirst, A. M., Simms, M. S., Mann, V. M., Maitland, N. J., O'Connell, D., & Frame, F. M. (2015). Low-temperature plasma treatment induces DNA damage leading to necrotic cell death in primary prostate epithelial cells.

Background:
In recent years, the rapidly advancing field of low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasmas has shown considerable promise for future translational biomedical applications, including cancer therapy, through the generation of reactive ox...
