Germ cell determination and the developmental origin of germ cell tumors [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, 2021
ABSTRACT In each generation, the germline is tasked with producing somatic lineages that form the body, and segregating a population of cells for gametogenesis. During animal development, when do cells of the germline irreversibly commit to producing gametes?

Emerging Prognostic Biomarkers in Testicular Germ Cell Tumors: Looking Beyond Established Practice

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2018
Testicular germ cell tumors are unique among solid cancers. Historically, this disease was deadly if progressed beyond the stage I. The implementation of cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens has drastically changed the clinical outcome of metastatic ...

Use of high-dosage chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a first-line therapy for the patients with poor-prognosis testicular tumors [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005
Background. High-dose chemotherapy followed by hematopoietic stem cell support can be used as a first-line treatment in patients with germ-cell tumor (GCT) with poor prognosis. Long-term survival rate is attained in 50% of these patients. The aim of this

A novel prognostic factor TRIM44 promotes cell proliferation and migration, and inhibits apoptosis in testicular germ cell tumor

open access: yesCancer Science, 2016
Tripartite motif 44 (TRIM44) is one of the TRIM family proteins that are involved in ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins by modulating E3 ubiquitin ligases. TRIM44 overexpression has been observed in various cancers.
