Treatment with Imatinib in NSCLC is associated with decrease of phosphorylated PDGFR-beta and VEGF expression, decrease in interstitial fluid pressure and improvement of oxygenation.
(Br J Cancer, 2006-10-23)
Elevated intratumoral interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and tumour hypoxia are independent
predictive factors for poor survival and poor treatment response in cancer patients.
However, the relationship between IFP and tumour ...
Polymorphisms in thymidylate synthase gene and susceptibility to breast cancer in a Chinese population: a case-control analysis.
(BMC cancer, 2006-01)
BACKGROUND: Accumulative evidence suggests that low folate intake is associated with
increased risk of breast cancer. Polymorphisms in genes involved in folate metabolism
may influence DNA methylation, nucleotide synthesis, ...
Smoothened signal transduction is promoted by G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2.
(Mol Cell Biol, 2006-10)
Deregulation of the Sonic hedgehog pathway has been implicated in an increasing number
of human cancers. In this pathway, the seven-transmembrane (7TM) signaling protein
Smoothened regulates cellular proliferation ...
Trafficking of G protein-coupled receptors.
(Circ Res, 2006-09-15)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an integral role in the signal transduction
of an enormous array of biological phenomena, thereby serving to modulate at a molecular
level almost all components of human biology. ...
Spending on postapproval drug safety.
(Health Aff (Millwood), 2006-03)
Withdrawals of high-profile pharmaceuticals have focused attention on post-approval
safety surveillance. There have been no systematic assessments of spending on postapproval
safety. We surveyed drug manufacturers regarding ...
