  • Publication number: 20140155577
    Abstract: Disclosed are conjugates of hydrophobic drugs linked to protected or unprotected amino acids or peptides. The disclosed conjugates are amphiphilic and can self assemble into nanotubes. Nanotubes comprising the conjugates are also described and can have high loading of the drug and protect it from degradation or elimination. The nanotubes are well suited to deliver hydrophobic and unstable drugs to individuals.

  • Publication number: 20140128272
    Abstract: Provided are a method for retaining in a dormant state a cancer tissue-derived cell mass that can reflect accurately the in vivo behavior of cancer cells, and an evaluation method for examining the sensitivity to various treatments including a drug sensitivity test by using a cancer tissue-derived cell mass in such a dormant state. The cancer tissue-derived cell mass is prepared from an individual. Such a cancer tissue-derived cell mass is cultured in vitro under the conditions of hypoxia and low levels of growth factors. Furthermore, a treatment with a drug, etc. is applied in vitro to the cancer tissue-derived cell mass in the dormant state so that evaluation is achieved by examination of its proliferation state, determination of life and death, and analysis of signals.
