Does stage-adjusted lung cancer survival differ between low-income Blacks and Whites?
These findings suggest that although proportionally more blacks present with distant-stage disease there is no difference in stage-adjusted lung cancer mortality between blacks and whites of similar low socioeconomic status.
These data demonstrate that HGF pretreatment of MDCK cells increases the sensitivity of the cells to Ad-mediated gene delivery. The mechanism by which this occurs appears to be through increased entry of adenovirus into epithelial cells. These data provide evidence that biological agents that transiently alter epithelial cell polarity and tight junction function can be used to augment Ad-mediated gene delivery into epithelial cells from the apical surface.
