Disrupting Cell Mitoses to Provoke Cancer SelfDestruction

Vaccines against cervical cancer provoke US controversy.

Assessment of the symmetry of stem-cell mitoses.

A model of Paneth-cell renewal in the small intestinal epithelium is used to estimate the probability that epithelial stem-cell mitoses are symmetric in the sense that they produce two cells of the same type. I found that counts of the number of Paneth cells per crypt (Paneth cells are terminally differentiated cells derived from small intestinal epithelial stem cells) support a model in which ...

Disrupting the networks of cancer.

Ecosystems are interactive systems involving communities of species and their abiotic environment. Tumors are ecosystems in which cancer cells act as invasive species interacting with native host cell species in an established microenvironment within the larger host biosphere. At its heart, to study ecology is to study interconnectedness. In ecologic science, an ecologic network is a representa...

Commentary: Mediterranean paradoxes continue to provoke.

In this issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology Jamrozik and colleagues ask whether the 'Mediterranean paradox' confers protection against abdominal aortic aneurisms (AAA) in addition to its traditionally cited protection against ischaemic heart disease. 1 They seek answers to this question not in populations still living in the Mediterranean but in those who have migrated to Austral...
