Abstract:Introduction An increasing number of recent studies suggest that tumour response to chemotherapy cannot be fully described in terms of only interaction of the drug with the main cellular target (e.g. DNA or microtubules) but can include multiple physiological and physicochemical changes. Insight into drug-induced functional alterations in cancer cells and tissues is crucially important for understanding of mechanisms of a drug action and for development new approaches to enable monitoring of the early-treatmen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
