Signal transduction during apoptosis; implications for cancer therapy.
Programmed cell death is a fundamental aspect of organismal development and stasis through its role in the maintenance of the balance between cell growth and cell death. If the balance is tipped, e.g. by unregulated cell growth, the result can be cancer. If tipped the other direction, e.g. by dysregulated cell death, and the result can again be cancer. The concept of dysregulated cell death, wh...
متن کاملCancer: Signal Transduction
Mikala Egeblad and colleagues study tumors and, in particular, the contributions of the microenvironment in which the cancer cells arise and live. Solid tumors are abnormally organized tissues that contain not only cancer cells, but also various stromal cell types and the extracellular matrix, and these latter components constitute the microenvironment. Communications between the different comp...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy for cancer of the pancreas.
BACKGROUND Few pancreatic cancers are suitable for surgery and few respond to chemoradiation. Photodynamic therapy produces local necrosis of tissue with light after prior administration of a photosensitising agent, and in experimental studies can be tolerated by the pancreas and surrounding normal tissue. AIMS To undertake a phase I study of photodynamic therapy for cancer of the pancreas. ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Therapy of Diabetic Vascular Complication
Diabetic vascular complication is a leading cause of end-stage renal failure, acquired blindness, a variety of neuropathies and accelerated atherosclerosis, which could account for disabilities and high mortality rates in patients with diabetes. There is a growing body of evidence to conclude that intensive control of plasma glucose and blood pressure is crucial for effectively reducing diabeti...
متن کاملCancer Biology and Signal Transduction
The transcription factor signal STAT5 is constitutively activated in a wide range of leukemias and lymphomas, and drives the expression of genes necessary for proliferation, survival, and self-renewal. Thus, targeting STAT5 is an appealing therapeutic strategy for hematologic malignancies. Given the importance of bromodomain-containing proteins in transcriptional regulation, we considered the h...
