1.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 01/08/1998 - "The possible cytotoxic effects of fusinite, a new charcoal-like electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oxygen probe, were evaluated in three cell types with very different characteristics and growth features: K562 (an erythroleukemic cell line which grows in suspension), A431 (an epidermal carcinoma cell line which grows in monolayer) and primary cultures of murine fibroblasts (which also grow in adhesion culture) utilizing morphological and functional studies as well as growth analyses. " 01/01/1996 - "The intracellular molecular oxygen concentration in control and menadione-treated K562 (an erythroleukemic cell line that grows in suspension) and A431 (an epidermal carcinoma that grows in monolayer) cells was measured directly by using the new electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) probe fusinite. "
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 11/01/1995 - "Magnetic resonance imaging and histological examination were used to localize the position of the fusinite with respect to tumor margins and vascularization. "
3.	Adenocarcinoma 11/01/1995 - "Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry with the oxygen-sensitive paramagnetic material, fusinite, we have measured the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the mouse mammary adenocarcinoma MTG-B. "
