Does overexpression of stromal cell-derived factor 1 and its receptor CXCR4 induce autocrine/paracrine cell proliferation in human pituitary adenomas?
CXCR4 and SDF1 are overexpressed in human pituitary adenomas and CXCR4 activation may contribute to pituitary cell proliferation and, possibly, to adenoma development in humans.
In contrast to our expectations, pneumococcal adherence was found to be decreased in cold environment in vivo.
