Progesterone is considered as the pregnancy hormone and acts on many different target tissues. Progesterone receptor (PR) signaling is important for normal development and the physiologic function of the breast and impinges on breast carcinogenesis. Both s ...
A series of tetranuclear arene ruthenium complexes of the general formula [Ru-4(p-cymene)(4)(mu(2)-L)(2)(mu(4)-OO boolean AND OO)(2)]CF3SO3 (L-1 = N,N'-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)-pyromellitic diimide, L-2 = N,N'-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)-naphthalene diimide) wer ...
Tetranuclear arene ruthenium complexes of the general formula {Ru-2(p-cymene)(2)(mu(4)-L)}(2)(mu(4)-tpom) (tpom = tetrakis(4-pyridyloxymethylene)methane) were obtained from the corresponding dinuclear arene ruthenium complexes [Ru-2(p-cymene)(2)(m(4) ...
Acoustic tomography aims at recovering the unknown parameters that describe a field of interest by studying the physical characteristics of sound propagating through the considered field. The tomographic approach is appealing in that it is non-invasive and ...
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. As cancer develops and progresses, cells undergo a diversity of mutations that sustain their rapid proliferation and the eva ...
In diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been recognized as a useful and sensitive surrogate for cell density, paving the way for non-invasive tumor staging, and characterization of treatment efficacy in cancer. How ...
The mis-regulation of gene transcription in the living cell can be the cause of complex human diseases like cancer. One challenge of the post-genomic era of biomedical research is the development of in vitro techniques for the rapid and cost-effective anal ...
The Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) is a self-renewing multipotent progenitor originally found in the bone marrow. It has drawn strong interest from translational research because of the multipotency of MSCs, their immunosuppression, their intrinsic homing and ...
The breast epithelium has two major compartments, luminal and basal cells, that are established and maintained by poorly understood mechanisms. The p53 homolog, p63, is required for the formation of mammary buds, but its function in the breast after birth ...
