Mesenchymal stem cells effectively reduce surgically induced stenosis in rat carotids.

29 Nov 2008 Restenosis following vascular injury remains a pressing clinical problem. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promise as a main actor of cell-based therapeutic strategies. The possible therapeutic role of MSCs in vascular stenosis in vivo has been poorly ... Read more...

Vitamin antioxidants, lipid peroxidation, tumour stage, the systemic inflammatory response and survival in patients with colorectal cancer.

13 Nov 2008 Both the tumour growth and progression and the systemic inflammatory response have the potential to increase oxidative stress. We therefore examined the relationship between lipid-soluble antioxidant vitamins, lipid peroxidation, the systemic ... Read more...

Inflammation joins the "niche".

2 Nov 2008 Bone marrow-derived cells have an important role in tumor metastasis and have been reported to "prime" distant tissues for tumor engraftment, although the mechanisms for their recruitment have remained unclear. A new study by Hiratsuka et al. ... Read more...
