Cancer: Cell growth control mechanisms

Cellular Control Mechanisms and Cancer

Although the coverage of renal disease in adulthood is complete, a chapter devoted to the special features of infancy and childhood might have extended the interest of this book to a larger audience. Furthermore one would have liked more emphasis placed on treatment of the symptoms of uremia (a formidable problem for the patient) and on the effect of renal failure on the metabolism of drugs giv...

P.oleracea induced apoptosis and inhibited the cell growth in oral epithelial cancer cell line

Despite the progress in cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation, its eradication remains as unattainable dream for the patients and doctors. Recently, using supplementary agents such as herbal medicine with fewer side effects seems efficient and attractive. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to investigate if the ethanolic extract of P.oleracea has cytotoxicity and apopt...

Reporting the Effect of Cell Seeding Density on Growth Pattern of Cancer Cell Lines

In vitro studies on cancer cell lines still constitutes a major part of cancer research. It is very important that the researchers consider the importance of basic conditions of working with different cell lines. To the best of authors knowledge, this study is the first one to report the effect of seeding density on the growth curve of three human cancer cell lines. These cell lines include hum...

Mechanisms of growth control in bacteria

Immune Issues and Mechanisms in Cancer

The immunologic defense mechanism is well demon­trated in neoplasia of animals and human. Spontaneous regression of many human tumors such as malignant melanomas, 1vmphosarcomas, neuroblastomas choriocar­cinomas, adenocarcinomas and leukemias is due to the defense mechanism of lymphoretrcular system. The discovery of carcinoembrvonicantigen in carcinoma of gastrointestinal tract and the alpha-f...
