A catch-22: Interleukin-22 and cancer

IL 22 ( interleukin 22 )

Referenda as a Catch-22

The result of a referendum delivers a signi…cant amount of information about social preferences to each composite member of the society. This paper argues that, beyond this obvious fact, the choice not to o¤er a referendum by an authority, although permitted to do so, may enhance as well the information individuals posses about social preferences. The addition of a referendum option in the rule...

Clinical Notes CATCH 22 Syndrome

CATCH 22 syndrome is characterized by cardiac defects, abnormal facial features, thymic hypoplasia, cleft palate, and hypocalcemia. It is associated with a deletion within chromosome 22q11. This syndrome is not a simple disease. It includes DiGeorge syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and velocardiofacial syndrome. In DiGeorge’s original report, he focused on thymic hypoplasia and hypo...

Platelet genomics beats the catch-22.

advantages such as a larger cargo load ( 14 kb, allowing the inclusion of more genes or larger regulatory elements), different insertion preferences, and the exclusive use of TTAA target sequence.2-4 For some applications, the PB transposition offers an additional advantage: the integrated transposon can be precisely excised by re-expression of PB transposase transiently as shown by several gro...

Antiapoptotic activity of autocrine interleukin-22 and therapeutic effects of interleukin-22-small interfering RNA on human lung cancer xenografts.

PURPOSE Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is one of most common malignant diseases and usually is resistant against apoptosis-inducing chemotherapy. This study is to explore the antiapoptotic mechanisms of interleukin (IL)-22 in human lung cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Nineteen cases with stage I to III NSCLC were collected to determine the expression of IL-22. Stable transfection of human ...
