CBS TV News: Dr.David Terman discusses Sickle Cells for Treatment for Drug Resistant Breast Cancer with
Dr. Max Gomez below
Video Demonstration of a sickle cells in action against a highly drug resistant breast tumor. After injection of labelled sickle cells (SRBCs) the SSRBCs stick to tumor blood vessel walls where they cluster and block blood flow. In contrast, normal red blood cells (NRBCs) pass freely through the tumor blood vessels without sticking or blocking blood flow.
Sickle Cells Target Drug Resistant Breast Cancer:
Krista Hoff discusses Terman et al., paper in PLOS ONE 2013 showing sickle cells targeting and killing hypoxic niches within drug resistant 4T1 mammary carcinoma in mice.
