Investigating the impact of growth arrest mechanisms on tumour growth and responses to radiotherapy and hyperthermia by Colson, C

“…In each regime, we determine the biological processes that may underpin positive and negative treatment outcomes and assess which treatment (RT, HT or RT + HT) and dosing regimen maximise the reduction in tumour burden. This work enables us to generate a set of hypotheses that may explain some of the widely varying tumour behaviours observed experimentally and clinically.…”

Cytisine versus varenicline for smoking cessation in a primary care setting: a randomized non-inferiority trial by Oreskovic, T, Percac-Lima, S, Ashburner, JM, Tiljak, H, Rifel, J, Klemenc Ketiš, Z, Oreskovic, S
