  • This information will be integrated with various biochemical approaches including metabolic inhibition of glycosylation and cell surface glycoengineering to custom-modify sLeX display to assess the extent to which sLeX presentation on a specific protein and/or lipid scaffold licenses E-selectin binding among blasts from various subtypes of human acute leukemias, and the impact of the relevant E-selectin receptor/ligand interaction(s) in leukemia cell biology.

  • Unmet Need Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the adaptive immune response by capturing and presenting antigens to activate cytotoxic T-cells. (duke.edu)
  • Relevance: Acute leukemia arises because abnormal white cell precursors proliferate within special growth zones within the bone marrow. (cancer.gov)
  • Periapical cysts (PCs) belong to the inflammatory odontogenic cysts sub-category and rarely squamous cell carcinoma arises from their hyperplastic/ dysplastic epithelia. (cancerdiagnosisprognosis.org)
  • These histopathological characteristics rarely form an eligible substrate for squamous cell carcinoma onset in untended cases. (cancerdiagnosisprognosis.org)
  • Although rare, primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arises from their hyperplastic/dysplastic epithelia in untended, misdiagnosed cases ( Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 120(5) (2015)">3 , J Cancer Res Ther 16(3) (2020)">4 ). (cancerdiagnosisprognosis.org)

  • Cancer cells are able to multiply because they generate blood vessels in cells that did not originally have blood vessels and therefore become able to take in nutrients. (healthist.net)
  • However, in the case of cancer, angiogenesis occurs in cells that originally had no blood vessels and branches gradually form from surrounding blood vessels, taking in nutrients and causing the repeated abnormal proliferation of cancer cells. (healthist.net)

  • This complex process is regulated by the interplay of transcription factors with a chromatin environment, both of which provide the epigenetic information maintaining cell-type specific gene expression patterns. (amegroups.org)
  • The stimulus for the change of cell fate originates from extrinsic signals which set a cascade of intracellular processes in motion that eventually terminate at the genome leading to changes in gene expression and the development of alternate gene regulatory networks. (amegroups.org)
  • In the developing embryo, TFs regulating the assembly/disassembly of transcriptional complexes and ultimately gene expression, are directed by complex extrinsic signalling processes which connect all cells within a multi-cellular organism to their environment. (amegroups.org)
