Stem cell transfusion restores immune function in radiation-induced lymphopenic C57/BL6 mice.

Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is associated with treatment of different tumors (lung, colon, pancreas, breast, sarcomas and glioblastoma). It is a significant clinical problem affecting the survival of cancer patients. The biological mechanisms l...

Tackling Crizotinib Resistance in Pediatrics

Neuroblastoma is a childhood malignancy that has not yet benefitted from the rapid progress in the development of small-molecule therapeutics for cancer. An opportunity to take advantage of pharmaceutical innovation in this area arose when the identifi...

Antiangiogenic VEGF-Ax

The transcript of the angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is subject to a multitude of stimulus-dependent, posttranscriptional regulatory events, consistent with its unusually long 3′ untranslated region. We have recently ...

EMT-Driven Gain of Stem Cell Properties Requires Wnt Signaling

Wnt signaling contributes to the reprogramming and maintenance of cancer stem cell (CSC) states that are activated by epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanistic relationship between EMT and the Wnt pathway in CSC is not entirel...
