Localized JNK signaling regulates organ size during development
eLife, 2016 A fundamental question of biology is what determines organ size. Despite demonstrations that factors within organs determine their sizes, intrinsic size control mechanisms remain elusive.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.

Forces controlling organ growth and size
Mechanisms of Development, 2017 One of the fundamental questions in developmental biology is what determines the final size and shape of an organ. Recent research strongly emphasizes that besides cell-cell communication, biophysical principals govern organ development. The architecture and mechanics of a tissue guide cellular processes such as movement, growth or differentiation ...

Impact of Metastatic Patterns on Survival and Response to Therapy in Neuroblastoma
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background While the presence of metastases in neuroblastoma (NB) is a well‐established prognostic factor, the clinical significance of dissemination patterns and tumour burden and their impact on response and survival remains poorly understood.

Organ size determination and the limits of regulation [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2008 The size of an organism dictates both its functional challenges and how it meets them. Despite being a universal feature of all living creatures, how an organism determines its size, and that of its internal organs, is largely unknown. In particular, the mechanisms by which organs sense magnitude and alter cellular behavior to ensure symmetry ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Germ cell tumors (GCTs) often arise in the ovaries and testes (extracranial) but can also develop in the brain (intracranial). We examined the relationship of individual, family, and community‐level socioeconomic status (SES) with stage of disease at diagnosis in a cohort of pediatric patients with GCT from Children's Oncology Group
