| In a paper entitled "Noninvasive Detection of Elevated Glutathione Levels in MCF-7 Cells Resistant to 4-Hydroperoxycyclosphosphamide", Michael Gamcsik, Kevin Millis, and O. Michael Colvin attempt to noninvasively (without damage) detect levels of glutathione (an intracellular molecule) in cancer cells. While previous studies which detect intracellular glutathione require the cells to be broken apart, this study shows that glutathione can be noninvasively monitored in cells using the process of NMR spectroscopy. To learn more about this technique and the results obtained by Gamcsik, Millis, and Colvin, click on the links to the right. |
