Targeted transgenic RNAi knockdown of cell fate determinants induces neoplastic tumor growth and metastasis in a Drosophila transplantation model of neural stem cell derived cancer [PDF]
Genetic models such as Drosophila have sophisticated transgenic and molecular genetic tools available to investigate proliferation control in normal and tumorigenic neural stem cells.

Primary splenic lymphoma on top of intrahepatic splenosis: A unique case report
Solid organ splenosis is a challenging diagnosis with many atypical imaging features that can overlap with neoplastic masses of the affected organ. We present a sporadic case of intrahepatic splenosis in a 68-year-old woman with transformation into a low-

Inhibition of the growth of transformed and neoplastic cells by the dipeptide carnosine [PDF]
Human diploid fibroblasts growth normally in medium containing physiological concentrations of the naturally occurring dipeptide carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine). These concentrations are cytotoxic to transformed and neoplastic cells lines in modified Eagle medium (MEM), whereas these cells grow vigorously in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM ...

BACKGROUND: Androgen receptor (AR) activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of urothelial cancer. However, it remains controversial whether 5α-reductase inhibitors (5α-RIs), which are known for blocking the conversion of testosterone to the ...

Tumour-associated immune responses and isolated carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha feto-protein levels related to survival in ovarian cancer patients. [PDF]
The presence of a tumour-associated immune response in 37 patients with ovarian cancer as assessed by blastogenesis (lymphocyte transformation) evoked by ovarian cancer cell extracts, has been correlated with survival following the test.
