Matricellular Proteins: A Sticky Affair with Cancers
The multistep process of metastasis is a major hallmark of cancer progression involving the cointeraction and coevolution of the tumor and its microenvironment. In the tumor microenvironment, tumor cells and the surrounding stromal cells aberrantly secrete matricellular proteins, which are a family of nonstructural proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) that exert regulatory roles via a var...
متن کاملAn affair of the heart.
In 1950, patients with Hodgkin lymphoma had a median survival time of 4 years and a 5-year relative survival rate of 29% (1). Since the introduction of radiation therapy and chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma in the 1960s and 1970s, the 5-year relative survival rate is more than 85% (2), and these patients can now expect a long lymphoma-free life. However, the price for this phenomenal success h...
متن کاملEssential chemistry for biochemists
Within every living organism, countless reactions occur every second. These reactions typically occur more rapidly and with greater efficiency than would be possible under the same conditions in the chemical laboratory, and while using only the subset of elements that are readily available in nature. Despite these apparent differences between life and the laboratory, biological reactions are go...
متن کاملThe Transition of Poised RNA Polymerase II to an Actively Elongating State Is a “Complex” Affair
The initial discovery of the occupancy of RNA polymerase II at certain genes prior to their transcriptional activation occurred a quarter century ago in Drosophila. The preloading of these poised complexes in this inactive state is now apparent in many different organisms across the evolutionary spectrum and occurs at a broad and diverse set of genes. In this paper, we discuss the genetic and b...
متن کاملEBV and memory B cells: an affair with consequences.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are often at high risk of developing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) due to underlying severe immunodeficiency. In particular, impairment of antiviral T-cell immunity as a result of immunosuppressive therapy is a critical risk factor for the development of PTLD. The impact...
