Angiogenic processes depend on the precise coordination of different cell types and a complex exchange of signals, many of which derive from new specific components of the provisional,… (More)
We sought to enhance the selective toxicity of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) to permit its systemic use in cancer therapy. Because ligand-targeted therapeutics have proven successful in… (More)
The selective delivery of bioactive agents to tumors reduces toxicity and enhances the efficacy of anticancer therapies. In this study, we show that the antibody F8, which recognizes perivascular and… (More)

BACKGROUND
The brush biopsy technique is not only a seminal technique but also a critically discussed method for detection of oral pre-cancerous stages and manifest carcinomas. The gamma2 chain of… (More)
The potent antitumor activity of certain cytokines is often achieved at the expense of unacceptable toxicity. One avenue to improve the therapeutic index of cytokines in cancer therapy consists of… (More)
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine with potent immunostimulatory activity and anti-angiogenic properties. Its clinical applications are limited, however, by severe side-effects. Here… (More)
The current study was designed to investigate possible effects of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor kinase blocker AG1295 on the development of interstitial fibrosis in rats with… (More)
Snail is a regulator of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and considered crucial to carcinoma metastasis, myofibroblast transdifferentiation, and fibroblast activation. To investigate the role… (More)

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is suggested to be crucial for the development of an invasive and metastatic carcinoma cell phenotype. Therefore, the definition of this phenotype is of great… (More)
AIMS
The hereditary occurrence of cherubism indicates a probable genetic aetiology: a correlation with a mutation in the gene SH3BP2 has been demonstrated. A convincing concept of formal pathogenesis… (More)
