Hereditary hemochromatosis gene (HFE) variants are associated with birth weight and childhood leukemia risk.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Our original studies reported an association between the iron-metabolism gene HFE and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and a birth weight association in ALL. Through its effect on cell proliferation, iron is involved ... Read more...

Molecular mechanisms mediating protective effect of cAMP on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) hyperpermeability.

29 Nov 2009 Up to date, the nature of the sepsis-induced vascular leakage is understood only partially, which limits pharmacological approaches for its management. Here we studied the protective effect of cAMP using endotoxin-induced hyperpermeability as a ... Read more...

Radiation response of cancer stem-like cells from established human cell lines after sorting for surface markers.

13 Nov 2009 PURPOSE: A subpopulation of cancer stem-like cells (CSLC) is hypothesized to exist in different cancer cell lines and to mediate radioresistance in solid tumors. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Cells were stained for CSLC markers and sorted ... Read more...
