Cancer cells can also cause defects in the cellular pathways of apoptosis (programmed cell death). As most chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells in this manner, defective apoptosis allows survival of these cells, making them resistant. Many chemotherapy drugs also cause DNA damage, which can be repaired by enzymes in the cell that carry out DNA ...
The drug carrier releases the anti-cancer drug when triggered by the tumor's low pH levels and these pH levels control the rate of drug release. [16] Drugs administered usually require frequent dosing, but with a drug delivery carrier, it allows for a gradual and sustained release of the drug leading cancer patients to not have to be in the ...
