microRNAs in Gliomas: Small Regulators of a Big Problem
Gliomas are the most common form of primary brain tumors and are associated with a poor clinical outcome. The molecular mechanisms that contribute to gliomagenesis have become increasingly clear in recent year...

Open AccessmiR-124 and miR-137 inhibit proliferation of glioblastoma multiforme cells and induce differentiation of brain tumor stem cells
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an invariably fatal central nervous system tumor despite treatment with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Further insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms that d...

Open AccessMammary carcinoma behavior is programmed in the precancer stem cell
The 'MINO' (mammary intraepithelial neoplasia outgrowth) mouse model of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) consists of six lines with distinct morphologic phenotypes and behavior, each meeting experimentally defined...

Syngeneic mouse mammary carcinoma cell lines: Two closely related cell lines with divergent metastatic behavior
Two cell lines, Met-1fvb2 and DB-7fvb2, with different metastatic potential, were derived from mammary carcinomas in FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVmT) and FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVmT Y315F/Y322F ...

Open AccessA murine leukemia virus with Cre-LoxP excisible coding sequences allowing superinfection, transgene delivery, and generation of host genomic deletions
To generate a replication-competent retrovirus that could be conditionally inactivated, we flanked the viral genes of the Akv murine leukemia virus with LoxP sites. This provirus can delete its envelope gene b...

Genome Amplification of Chromosome 20 in Breast Cancer
Recurrent gain and amplification of the long arm of chromosome 20 (20q) has been observed in a wide variety of cancers. This suggests that a gene or genes encoded on 20q play important roles in contributing to...
