Outline of Final Research Achievements |
2013-2014: The orthotopic hypopharyngeal tumor mouse model was established using the human hypopharyngeal carcinoma-derived FaDu cell line. The luciferase-stable FaDu cell line was also acquired. IVIS (in vivo bioluminescence/fluorescence imaging system) were utilized to monitor the hypopharyngeal tumor model during cell engraftment, tumor progression, and treatment response. 2014-2015: Maternity and parental leave. 2016-2017: Tailor-maid drug delivery system was developed by ligand-functionalized polymeric micelles. Tumor accumulation and anti-tumor activity of the micelle was assessed using the IVIS. Pharmacokinetics and tumor distribution of the micelle was investigated using the intravital confocal laser scanning microscopy.
