## Abstract The platinumβbased drug cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug which acts by causing the induction of apoptosis. However, resistance to the drug is a major problem. In this study we show that the KCPβ4 human epidermoid cancer cell line, which serves as a model of acquired resistance
Glial cell swelling in hypotonic media activates an anionic channel that was found previously to be permeable to amino acids. It is possible that the same channel is also activated when glial cells swell in pathologic conditions, like ischemia or hypoxia, and it could be partly responsible for the r
