Utility of cell-free nucleic acid and circulating tumor cell analyses in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is characterized by bone metastases and difficulty of objectively measuring disease burden. In this context, cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cell (CTC) quantitation and genomic profiling afford the ability to

Quantification of circulating endothelial progenitor cells using the modified ISHAGE protocol [PDF]
Aims: Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), involved in endothelial regeneration, neovascularisation, and determination of prognosis in cardiovascular disease can be characterised with functional assays or using immunofluorescence and flow ...

The Phenotype of Circulating Follicular-Helper T Cells in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Defines CD200 as a Potential Therapeutic Target [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting synovial joints in which the development of autoantibodies represents a failure of normal tolerance mechanisms, suggesting a role for follicular helper T cells (TFH) in the ...

Circulating angiogenic cells in glioblastoma: toward defining crucial functional differences in CAC-induced neoplastic versus reactive neovascularization [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundIn order to identify suitable therapeutic targets for glioma anti-angiogenic therapy, the process of neovascularization mediated by circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) needs to be scrutinized.MethodsIn the present study, we compared the expression of neovascularization-related genes by 3 circulating CAC subsets (hematopoietic ...

Heavy and moderate interval exercise training alters low-flow-mediated constriction but does not increase circulating progenitor cells in healthy humans [PDF]
Copyright © 2012 The Authors.Moderate-intensity endurance exercise training improves vascular endothelial vasomotor function; however, the impact of high-intensity exercise training has been equivocal.

Visceral Mast Cell Tumor and Mastocythemia in a Dog
Mast cell tumor manifests as a localized proliferation of mast cells in the skin, or less frequently as a systemic disorder, which may be accompanied by the presence of neoplastic mast cells in the peripheral blood (mastocythemia).
