When we list the infections brought to the New World from the Old, however, we find most of humanity's worst afflictions, among them smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, measles, cholera, typhoid, and bubonic plague. continued.
The present study was carried out to detect the prevalence of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) as well as to evaluate the clinical characteristics of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC.
The inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) enhances tumor growth in cholangiocarcinoma by altered gene expression via autocrine mechanisms. IL-6 can regulate the activity of DNA methyltransferases, and moreover, aberrant DNA methylation can contribute to carcinogenesis. We therefore investigated the effect of chronic exposure to IL-6 on methylation-dependent gene expression and transformed cell growth in human cholangiocarcinoma.
