Apremilast, an oral small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), is in development for chronic inflammatory disorders, and has shown efficacy in psoriasis, psoriatic arthropathies, and Behçet's syndrome. In March ...
Tumour cell-derived Wnt7a recruits and activates fibroblasts to promote tumour aggressiveness.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-01-18)
Stromal fibroblast recruitment to tumours and activation to a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) phenotype has been implicated in promoting primary tumour growth and progression to metastatic disease. However, the mechanisms ...
Classification of fibroglandular tissue distribution in the breast based on radiotherapy planning CT.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of breast tissues is required for a number of applications such as model based deformable registration in breast radiotherapy. The accuracy of breast tissue segmentation is affected by the ...
