Open AccessSecond surgery for progressive glioblastoma: a multi‐centre questionnaire and cohort‐based review of clinical decision‐making and patient outcomes in current practice
Glioblastoma prognosis is poor. Treatment options are limited at progression. Surgery may benefit, but no quality guidelines exist to inform patient selection. We sought to describe variations in surgical mana...

Simultaneous mercury capture and silver leaching using Ag2S-bearing ores and residues
Since mercury is chemically similar to silver, it tends to dissolve along with the silver and gold during cyanide leaching. Ultimately, mercury is recovered along with the silver as mercury/silver/gold amalgam...

Loss of TGF-β signaling and PTEN promotes head and neck squamous cell carcinoma through cellular senescence evasion and cancer-related inflammation
The molecular mechanisms that contribute to the initiation and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have not been completely delineated. Our observations indicate that defects in the tr...

The Participation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Tumor Stroma Formation and Their Application as Targeted-Gene Delivery Vehicles
Recent evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) selectively proliferate to tumors and contribute to the formation of tumor-associated stroma. The biological rationale for tumor recruitment of MSC re...

The Small Bovine Amelogenin LRAP Fails to Rescue the Amelogenin Null Phenotype
Amelogenins are the most abundant secreted proteins in develo** dental enamel. These evolutionarily-conserved proteins have important roles in enamel mineral formation, as mutations within the amelogenin gen...

Nociceptive inputs to C3, a motoneuron of the tentacle withdrawal reflex in Helix aspersa
The tentacle withdrawal reflex of snails is perhaps the fastest, most sensitive reflex in the animals' repertoire. We have investigated the sensory inputs to a major motoneuron (C3) mediating the reflex. The c...
