Purpose: In vivo studies have focused on the latter stages of the bone metastatic process(osteolysis), whereas little is known about earlier events, e.g., arrival, localization, and initialcolonization. Defining these initial steps may potentially identify the critical points susceptible totherapeutic intervention.Experimental Design: MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cells enginee...

Protein patterning was carried out using a simple procedure based on photolithography wherein the protein was not subjected to UV irradiation and high temperatures, or contacted with denaturing solvents, and strongly acidic or basic solutions. Self-assembled monolayers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on silicon surfaces were exposed to oxygen plasma through a patterned photoresist. The etched re...

In summary, cancer clinical trials are not easy to run. Every PI should be well prepared to meet the complex challenges inherent in conducting clinical trials and be proud to be engaged in the search for a "cure" for cancer patients.

Retinoic acid (RA) displays pronounced anticarcinogenic activities in several types of cancer. Whereas the mechanisms that underlie this activity remain incompletely understood, tumor suppression by RA is believed to emanate primarily from its ability to regulate transcription of multiple target genes. Here, we investigated molecular events through which RA inhibits the growth of MCF-7 mammary ...
