Multidrug resistance (MDR) is associated with the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ATP-dependent transporter which expels anti-cancer drugs from cells. In the present study, MDR1 P-gp was immunodetected by Western blot analysis in 60 human brain tumors, including meningiomas, schwannomas, low
Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is one of the major limitations in cancer chemotherapy. Previous work has shown that amphiphilic diblock copolymers composed of methoxypolyethylene glycol-block-polycaprolactone (MePEG-b-PCL) diblock copolymers enhanced the cellular accumulation of Pgp substrat
