Journal Article
Broughton, L. J., Giuntini, F., Savoie, H., Bryden, F., Boyle, R. W., Maraveyas, A., & Madden, L. A. (2016). Duramycin-porphyrin conjugates for targeting of tumour cells using photodynamic therapy. Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B, Biology, 163, 374-384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2016.09.001

Duramycin, through binding with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), has been shown to be a selective molecular probe for the targeting and imaging of cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy aims to bring about specific cytotoxic damage to tumours through deliv...

Duramycin-induced calcium release in cancer cells (2016)
Journal Article
Broughton, L. J., Crow, C., Madden, L. A., & Maraveyas, A. (2016). Duramycin-induced calcium release in cancer cells. Anti-cancer drugs, 27(3), 173-182. https://doi.org/10.1097/cad.0000000000000313

Introduction: Duramycin through binding with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) has shown potential to be an effective anti-tumour agent. However its mode of action in relation to tumour cells is not fully understood. Methods: PE expression on the surface... Read More about Duramycin-induced calcium release in cancer cells.
