Targeting epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) to modulate prostate cancer cell chemoresistance

(2020) Targeting epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) to modulate prostate cancer cell chemoresistance. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Understanding why some cancer cells do not respond to chemotherapy is critical to developing new ways to control cancer. This project defined the important role of tumour cell plasticity in the response of prostate cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs. Key proteins that control cell plasticity have emerged as promising theranostic targets that can be pursued to develop new approaches to improve outcomes for men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
