BMC Cancer 2011, 11:497Breast cancer type linked to paternal cancer

BMC Cancer 2011, 11:410Specific T cell responses induced by cell fusion
Semiallogenic fusions of microsatellite instable carcinoma cells with activated B cells induce specific and fully functional T cells that recognize both fusion cells and carcinoma cells, suggesting that these hybrid cells may be used for cellular immunotherapy.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
