Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse [PDF]
Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family that are secreted by trophoblast cells. PSGs may modulate immune, angiogenic and platelet responses during pregnancy.

Human chorionic gonadotropin and its relation to grade, stage and patient survival in ovarian cancer
BackgroundAn influence of gonadotropins (hCG) on the development of ovarian cancer has been discussed. Therefore, we quantified serum hCG levels in patients with benign and malignant ovarian tumors and the hCG expression in ovarian cancer tissue in order
