paclitaxelloaded dqasomes uj day after tumor implantation fig tumor growth inhibition study in nude mice implanted lithium abilify and trouble sleeping with human colon cancer cells the mean tumor volume from each group lithium abilify and trouble sleeping was blotted against the number of lithium abilify and trouble sleeping days each group involved animals for clarity, error bars were omitted note lithium abilify and trouble sleeping that after weeks the dose, normalized for paclitaxel, was tripled in all treatment groups empty dqasomes do not show any impact on tumor growth, lithium abilify and trouble sleeping paclitaxelloaded dqasomes with paclitaxel and dequalinium lithium abilify and trouble sleeping concentrations identical to controls seem to inhibit the tumor growth by about lithium abilify and trouble sleeping correspondingly, the average tumor weight in the treatment group, after sacrificing the animals days, later was approximately half of that in all controls lithium abilify and trouble sleeping although this result seems to suggest lithium abilify and trouble sleeping that dqasomes might indeed be able lithium abilify and trouble sleeping to increase the therapeutic potential of paclitaxel, the preliminary character of this lithium abilify and trouble sleeping first in vivo study has to lithium abilify and trouble sleeping be emphasized experiments to optimize the lithium abilify and trouble sleeping treatment protocol are ongoing in the lithium abilify and trouble sleeping authors laboratory summary since their initial description in , dqasomes and dqasomelike vesicles lithium abilify and trouble sleeping have been established as the first mitochondriatargeted colloidal delivery system, capable of transporting plasmid dna as well as small drug molecules towards mitochondria within living mammalian cells the further exploration of this unique mitochondriotropic delivery system will introduce new ways for the treatment of cancer and for the therapy of a multitude of mitochondrial diseases acknowledgments i am grateful to prof v p torchilin for many helpful discussions and for his strong and continuous support of my lithium abilify and trouble sleeping work i also would like to sincerely thank my graduate students, gerard lithium abilify and trouble sleeping dsouza, shingming cheng, sarathi boddapati and eyad katrangi, whose experimental work has made the writing of this chapter possible i am obliged to the muscular dystrophy association tucson, az, the united mitochondrial disease foundation pittsburgh, pa, mitovec, inc
