Synchrotron Radiation X-Ray Spectroscopy for Investigations of Intracellular Metallointercalators: X-Ray Fluorescence Imaging and X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
In an effort to determine the therapeutic feasibility of DNA metallointercalators as potential anticancer drugs it is important to confirm that they are capable of targeting DNA in cancer cells or tumours – as...

Inhibition of experimental colorectal cancer and reduction in renal and gastrointestinal toxicities by copper–indomethacin in rats
To evaluate, for the first time, the efficacy of copper–indomethacin in the inhibition of aberrant crypt foci formation using the azoxymethane-induced adenocarcinoma model, to examine cell viability in the HCT...

Time-dependent uptake, distribution and biotransformation of chromium(VI) in individual and bulk human lung cells: application of synchrotron radiation techniques
Chromium(VI) is a human carcinogen, primarily affecting the respiratory tract probably via active transport into cells, followed by the reduction to Cr(III) with the formation of DNA-damaging intermediates. Di...
