Increased stromal collagen density in mouse mammary tissue increases both tumor formation and tumor cell invasive and migratory properties by three fold; furthermore, a metabolic signature for flavin adenine dinucleotide is identified in invading metastatic cells.
BMC Medicine 2008, 6 :10
Utilizing a multi-methodological approach to mutation analysis, a 100% detection frequency is achieved in a Swedish classical familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) cohort, resulting in a number of new APC mutations and the discovery of some unusual mechanisms of APC gene inactivation.
BMC Medicine 2008, 6 :9
The Method for Assigning Priority Levels (MAPLe), a newly developed and extensively validated decision support tool for care service assessment, is a useful algorithm for identifying home care users at high risk of long-term care service use.
