MicroRNA expression profiling to identify and validate reference genes for relative quantification in colorectal cancer
(Biomed Central, 2010)
Background
Advances in high-throughput technologies and bioinformatics have transformed gene expression profiling methodologies. The results of microarray experiments are often validated using reverse transcription ...
miR-379 Regulates Cyclin B1 Expression and Is Decreased in Breast Cancer
(2013)
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that control gene expression post-transcriptionally, and are known
to be altered in many diseases including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance ...
Breast cancer research output, 1945-2008: a bibliometric and density-equalizing analysis
(BioMed Central, 2010-12)
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, with an estimated 194,280 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2009 alone. The primary aim of this work was to provide an in-depth evaluation ...
The Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) and Potential Regulators in Normal, Benign and Malignant Human Breast Tissue
(2011-01)
Introduction: The presence, relevance and regulation of the Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) in human mammary tissue remains poorly understood. This study aimed to quantify relative expression of NIS and putative regulators ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and cancer: tumour specific delivery vehicles or therapeutic targets?
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2010-09-30)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of nonhematopoietic multipotent cells found primarily within the bone marrow stroma. The ability of MSCs to specifically home to sites of tumors and their metastases, while escaping ...
Screening of exosomal microRNAs from colorectal cancer cells
(IOS Press, 2017-01-03)
BACKGROUND: Cells release extracellular membrane vesicles including microvesicles known as exosomes. Exosomes contain microRNAs (miRNAs) however the full range within colorectal cancer cell secreted exosomes is unknown.OBJECTIVE: ...
Influence of stromal–epithelial interactions on breast cancer in vitro and in vivo
(Springer, 2011-02-23)
Stromal cell-secreted chemokines including CCL2 have been implicated in the primary tumor microenvironment, as mediators of tumor cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Expression of CCL2 and its principal receptor ...
Potential role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the breast tumour microenvironment: stimulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)
(Springer, 2010-01-20)
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to specifically migrate to and engraft at tumour sites. Understanding interactions between cancer cells and MSCs has become fundamental to determining whether ...
Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated delivery of the sodium iodide symporter supports radionuclide imaging and treatment of breast cancer
(AlphaMed Press, 2011-05-23)
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) migrate specifically to tumors in vivo, and coupled with their capacity to bypass immune surveillance, are attractive vehicles for tumor-targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. This study ...
Preparing New Doctors for Clinical Practice: An Evaluation of Pre-Internship Training
(2012)
A consistent finding in the literature is that newly graduated medical students often do not possess the basic skills required to perform their job. Training designed to prepare newly graduated medical students for internship ...
