PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR PROMOTES NEURAL INVASION AND PREDICTS DISEASE PROGNOSIS IN RESECTABLE PANCREATIC CANCER

Placental growth factor promotes neural invasion and predicts disease prognosis in resectable pancreatic cancer

Abstract Background Surgery represents the only curative treatment option for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but recurrence in more than 85% of patients limits the success of curative-intent tumor resection.Neural invasion (NI), particularly the spread of tumor cells along nerves into extratumoral regions of the pancreas, constitutes a we

Comprehensive transcriptional profiling of NaCl-stressed Arabidopsis roots reveals novel classes of responsive genes

Abstract Background Roots are an attractive system for genomic and post-genomic studies of NaCl responses, due to their primary importance to agriculture, and because of their relative structural and biochemical simplicity.Excellent genomic resources have been established for the study of Arabidopsis roots, however, a comprehensive microarray analy
