CNTs Increase Tumor Burden in the Lungs via MDSC and TGF{beta}

During the last decades, changes have been observed in the frequency of different histologic subtypes of lung cancer, one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality, with a declining proportion of squamous cell carcinomas and an increasing p...

MDSC and TGF-{beta} are required for facilitation of tumor growth in the lungs of mice exposed to carbon nanotubes.

During last decades, changes have been observed in the frequency of different histological subtypes of lung cancer - one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality - with a declining proportion of squamous cell carcinomas and an increasing pr...

CDK4/6 inhibitor PD 0332991 sensitizes acute myeloid leukemia to cytarabine-mediated cytotoxicity

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and CDK6 are frequently overexpressed or hyperactivated in human cancers. Targeting CDK4/CDK6 in combination with cytotoxic killing therefore represents a rational approach to cancer therapy. By selective inhibition of CD...

PD 0332991 Potentiates Ara-C-Mediated AML Therapy

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and CDK6 are frequently overexpressed or hyperactivated in human cancers. Targeting CDK4/CDK6 in combination with cytotoxic killing therefore represents a rational approach to cancer therapy. By selective inhibition of C...

CEACAM1-3S drives melanoma cells into NK cell-mediated cytolysis and enhances patient survival

CEACAM1 is a widely expressed multi-functional cell-cell adhesion protein reported to serve as a poor prognosis marker in melanoma patients. In this study we examine the functional and clinical contributions of the four splice isoforms of CEACAM1. Spec...
