The Hu/Mu ProtIn Chip: A Custom Dual-Species Oligonucleotide Microarray for Profiling Degradome Gene Expression in Tumors and Their Microenvironment
Proteases and protease inhibitors of the cancer degradome derive from tumor-associated cells as well as tumor cells. Xenograft studies in which human... -
The Biology of Bone Metastases from Prostate Cancer and the Role of Bisphosphonates
Bone metastases from prostate cancer are a associated with morbidity and death from the disease. Prostate cancer cells are found in the circulation... -
Abnormal variation of the immune response as related to cancer
This overview chapter reviews the complex interrelationship between the immune system, cell proliferation and cancer. There exist, in essence, two... -
