Identification of Tumor-Associated Antigens as Diagnostic and Predictive Biomarkers in Cancer
Many studies demonstrated that cancer sera contain antibodies which react with autologous cellular antigens generally known as tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). In our laboratories, the approach used in the id...

Methodologies in Assaying Prostate Cancer Stem Cells
The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory posits that only a small population of tumor cells within the tumor has the ability to reinitiate tumor development and is responsible for tumor homeostasis and progression. T...
