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., …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...

Site-selective multi-porphyrin attachment enables the formation of a next-generation antibody-based photodynamic therapeutic (2015)
Journal Article
Maruani, A., Savoie, H., Bryden, F., Caddick, S., Boyle, R., & Chudasama, V. (2015). Site-selective multi-porphyrin attachment enables the formation of a next-generation antibody-based photodynamic therapeutic. Chemical communications : Chem comm / the Royal Society of Chemistry, 51(83), 15304-15307. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5cc06985h

Herein we present a significant step towards next-generation antibody-based photodynamic therapeutics. Site-selective modification of a clinically relevant monoclonal antibody, with a serum-stable linker bearing a strained alkyne, allows for the cont...

PET/PDT theranostics: Synthesis and biological evaluation of a peptide-targeted gallium porphyrin (2015)
Journal Article
Bryden, F., Savoie, H., Rosca, E. V., & Boyle, R. W. (2015). PET/PDT theranostics: Synthesis and biological evaluation of a peptide-targeted gallium porphyrin. Dalton Transactions : an international journal of inorganic chemistry, 44(11), 4925-4932. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4dt02949f

The development of novel theranostic agents is an important step in the pathway towards personalised medicine, with the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities into a single treatment agent naturally lending itself to the optimisation an...
