    • Combining the oncolytic peptide LTX-315 with doxorubicin demonstrates therapeutic potential in a triple-negative breast cancer model 

      Camilio, Ketil Andre; Wang, Meng-Yu; Mauseth, Brynjar; Waagene, Stein; Kvalheim, Gunnar; Rekdal, Øystein; Sveinbjørnsson, Baldur; Mælandsmo, Gunhild M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-22)
      <i>Background</i> - Immunochemotherapy, the combined use of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, has demonstrated great promise in several cancers. LTX-315 is an oncolytic peptide with potent immunomodulatory properties designed for the local treatment of solid tumors. By inducing rapid immunogenic cell death through the release of danger-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs), LTX-315 is capable ...

    • Novel human melanoma brain metastasis models in athymic nude fox1nu mice: Site-specific metastasis patterns reflecting their clinical origin 

      Svendsen, Henrik Aasrum; Meling, Torstein Ragnar; Nygaard, Vigdis; Waagene, Stein; Russnes, Hege Elisabeth Giercksky; Juell, Siri; Rogne, Siril Gudmundson; Pahnke, Jens; Helseth, Eirik; Fodstad, Øystein; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-06)
      Background: Malignant melanomas frequently metastasize to the brain, but metastases in the cerebellum are underrepresented compared with metastases in the cerebrum.<p> <p>Methods: We established animal models by injecting intracardially in athymic nude fox1<sup>nu</sup> mice two human melanoma cell lines, originating from a cerebral metastasis (HM19) and a cerebellar metastasis (HM86).<p> <p>Results: ...
