Growth Factor Stimulates Rapid Extension Of Key Motor Neurons In Brain
A growth factor known to be important for the survival of many types of cells stimulates rapid extension of corticospinal motor neurons -- critical brain cells that connect the cerebral cortex with the spinal cord and that die in motor
Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 Antagonist
Purpose: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) plays important roles in promotion of tumor growth by mediating cellular functions in tumor vascular endothelium and cancer cells. Blockade of VEGFR-1 activation has been
Increlex Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 - The Next Generation of
The next or perhaps more accurately, the newest generation of performance-enhancing drugs in sport is insulin-like growth factor-1 or IGF-1. The first synthetic version of IGF-1 approved for sale in the United States was Increlex.
Advances in Targeting Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2
Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2 is a member of the HER tyrosine kinase family, which regulates cell growth and proliferation. HER-2 is overexpressed in 20% to 30% of breast cancers and has been associated with an
Overexpression of the Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Receptor and
Experimental Design: To address this, we have compared the level of expression of estrogen-regulated genes and components of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) signaling pathway in endometrial biopsies from subjects with normal
RUNX3 Inhibits the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth
Experimental Design: The effects of increased RUNX3 expression on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in and angiogenic potential of human gastric cancer cells were determined in vitro and in animal models.
Novel D761Y and Common Secondary T790M Mutations in Epidermal
Purpose: In patients whose lung adenocarcinomas harbor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase domain mutations, acquired resistance to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) gefitinib (Iressa) and erlotinib (Tarceva) has
Introgen Therapeutics Gained Exclusive License to Therapies
Introgen Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INGN) gained a worldwide exclusive license to a family of patent applications directed to combination therapy using ADVEXIN® with inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFr inhibitors),
Growth Factor Stimulates Rapid Extension Of Key Motor Neurons In Brain
A growth factor known to be important for the survival of many types of cells stimulates rapid extension of corticospinal motor neurons -- critical
Activation of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1{alpha} Is Necessary for
This bioactive phospholipid at the concentration in ascitic fluid stimulates the growth of malignant ovarian tumors by increasing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In the present study, we investigated whether
