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...
Citrulline as a marker for chemotherapy induced mucosal barrier injury in pediatric patients.
13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: The currently used National Cancer Institute (NCI) adverse events criteria for mucosal barrier injury (MBI) are insufficient for use in children. We searched for objective, easily measurable indicators for MBI in children with cancer. ... Read more...
Polyamine effects on cell function: Possible central role of plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2.
29 Nov 2009 The polyamines spermidine, spermine, and putrescine are intimately involved in and required for cell growth and proliferation. There are also multiple effects of polyamines on other cellular processes that seem not to be a result of changes in ... Read more...
