Glycogen synthase kinase-3 regulates mouse oocyte homologue segregation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-01)
Intracellular regulation of oocyte meiosis is not completely understood. However, reversible phosphorylation, which involves serine/threonine protein kinases and phosphatases (PP), is an important mediator. Glycogen synthase ...
Regulation of epidermal growth factor and insulin-like growth factor I receptors by estradiol and progesterone in normal and neoplastic endometrial cell cultures,
(Elsevier, 1990-09)
Growth factors are polypeptides which regulate cell proliferation through binding to specific receptor proteins. Normal and neoplastic human endometrium have been shown to express epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like ...
Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome
(Elsevier, 1990-07)
The first case of squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome is described.
Tissue-specific expression of the human neuropeptide Y gene in transgenic mice
(Elsevier, 1992-06)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most abundant neuropeptide detected in the mammalian brain, and is found throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. This peptide is a proposed regulator of appetite, blood pressure, ...
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 regulation of chromatin segregation and cytokinesis in mouse preimplantation embryos
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-02)
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase implicated in diverse cellular processes. Activity of GSK-3 is essential for meiotic chromatin segregation in oocytes, yet expression ...
Factors Affecting Students' Use of MEDLINE
(Elsevier, 1993-12)
MEDLINE search transcripts by a class of third-year medical students were analyzed. The 184 students were divided into three groups according to their search experience in terms of the number of sessions logged at the time ...
Merkel cell carcinoma: Critical review with guidelines for multidisciplinary management
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07-01)
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a relatively rare cutaneous malignancy that occurs predominantly in the older white population. The incidence of MCC appears to have tripled during the past 20 years; an increase that is ...
The impact of factors beyond Breslow depth on predicting sentinel lymph node positivity in melanoma
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-01-01)
BACKGROUND. In addition to Breslow depth, the authors previously described how increasing mitotic rate and decreasing age predicted sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases in patients with melanoma. The objectives of the ...
Low recurrence rate after surgery for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-03-01)
BACKGROUND Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare sarcoma with a propensity for local recurrence. Treatments with wide excision, Mohs surgery, and other approaches have been reported with widely variable local ...
Exponential Regression of CA 125 during Salvage Treatment of Ovarian Cancer with Taxol
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
The role of serum CA 125 in monitoring the response of epithelial ovarian cancer to treatment has been extensively investigated. The exponential regression curve [ln(CA 125) = i + s (days after initiation of treatment)] ...
