Detection and analysis of spin trapped radical adducts using thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) (2018)
Thesis
Manzoor, K. (2018). Detection and analysis of spin trapped radical adducts using thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). (Thesis). University of Salford

Certain oxygen free radicals are produced constantly in cells by metabolism and exogenous agents. Some, such as the hydroxyl radical, may react with various biomolecules like DNA, lipids or proteins, and thus be involved in the pathogenesis of var...

Cellular biochemical and experimental therapeutic studies of L-glutamine and L-asparagine depletion for paediatric sarcoma cells (2011)
Thesis
Allsup, J. Cellular biochemical and experimental therapeutic studies of L-glutamine and L-asparagine depletion for paediatric sarcoma cells. (Thesis). University of Salford

The aim of this project was to investigate the cellular biochemical and experimental therapeutic effects of L-glutamine (gin) and L-asparagine (asn) depletion for paediatric sarcoma cells. The work presented in this thesis describes preclinical stud...

A study of the cytotoxic effects of methionine depletion in human brain tumour cell lines (2007)
Thesis
Najim, N. A study of the cytotoxic effects of methionine depletion in human brain tumour cell lines. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The aim of this project was to investigate the importance of methionine depletion as a cause of cytotoxicity for paediatric CNS tumour cell lines, and also to investigate the in vitro cellular biochemical responses, as measured by changes in cellul...

In vitro analysis of volatile organic compounds in search of potential biomarkers of lung cancer
Thesis
Schmidt, K. (in press). In vitro analysis of volatile organic compounds in search of potential biomarkers of lung cancer. (Thesis). University of Salford

Lung cancer is a leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. An early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in reducing mortality among people suffering from the disease. Therefore, one of the main focuses of lung cancer studies is on a... Read More about In vitro analysis of volatile organic compounds in search of potential biomarkers of lung cancer.
