Tumors consist of cells whose growth and morphological characteristics are markedly different from those of normal cells. Observation of human and animal models argue that tumor development proceeds via a process formally analogous to Darwinian evolution, ...
Therapy‐resistant tumor cells often display EMT and stem cell‐like traits. The canonical Wnt pathway has been associated with these phenotypes in many cancer types. Our group has shown in mice that two proteins of this pathway, Bcl9 and Bcl9l, participate ...
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung is a frequent and aggressive cancer type. Gene amplifications, a known activating mechanism of oncogenes, target the 3q26-qter region as one of the most frequently gained/amplified genomic sites in SCC of various t ...
Stem-like cells may be integral to the development and maintenance of human cancers. Direct proof is still lacking, mainly because of our poor understanding of the biological differences between normal and cancer stem cells (SCs). Using the ErbB2 transgeni ...
Changes in the glycosylation pattern of cellular glycoproteins constitute a hallmark in human cancer and influence tumour progression, suggesting that inhibitors of selected glycosidases may control cancer invasion. Following the studies on swainsonine, a ...
The water-sol. complexes [(Cp'OR)RuCl(PTA)2] (Cp'OR = h5-1-alkoxy-2,4-di-tert-butyl-3-neopentylcyclopentadienyl; R = Me, Et; PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) are considerably more cytotoxic (.apprx.2 orders of magnitude) than the cyclopentadienyl an ...
A number of cyclo-β-tripeptides and their linear precursors were subjected to primary biol. evaluation for cancer-cell growth inhibition (one-dose, three-cell essay), and the five most active ones were then tested in the anti-tumor screen of the National C ...
Cancer cells are unequal in a tumor mass and in established cultures. This is attributable to cancer stem cells with the unique ability to self-renew and to generate differentiating progeny. This ability is controlled at the level of asymmetric division by ...
Carcinogenesis is commonly described as a multistage process, in which stem cells are transformed into cancer cells via a series of mutations. In this article, we consider extensions of the multistage carcinogenesis model by mixture modeling. This approach ...
