Auhtors: Teepen JC, van Dijck JA PMID: 22437882 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.27542 Abstract The increasing exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has raised concern, as increased exposure may result in an increased risk of childhood leukemia (CL). Besides a short introduction of CL and EMF, our article gives an evaluation of the evidence of a causal relation between [...]

Authors: Weng Z, Zhang B, Asadi S, Sismanopoulos N, Butcher A. PMID: 22470478 PMCID: PMC3314669 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0033805 Abstract Mast cells are immune cells critical in the pathogenesis of allergic, but also inflammatory and autoimmune diseases through release of many pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-8 and TNF. Contact dermatitis and photosensitivity are skin conditions that involve [...]

Auhtors: Fridman WH, Pagès F, Sautès-Fridman C, Galon J PMID: 22419253 DOI: 10.1038/nrc3245 Abstract Tumours grow within an intricate network of epithelial cells, vascular and lymphatic vessels, cytokines and chemokines, and infiltrating immune cells. Different types of infiltrating immune cells have different effects on tumour progression, which can vary according to cancer type. In this [...]

PMID: 22323820 PMCID: PMC3608686 DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.3003293 Abstract Short-term starvation (or fasting) protects normal cells, mice, and potentially humans from the harmful side effects of a variety of chemotherapy drugs. Here, we show that treatment with starvation conditions sensitized yeast cells [...]

Auhtors: Bhardwaj K, Liu P, Leibowitz JL, Kao CC PMID: 22301153 PMCID: PMC3318636 DOI: 10.1128/JVI.07012-11 Abstract Coronaviruses encode an endoribonuclease, Nsp15, which has a poorly defined role in infection. Sequence analysis revealed a retinoblastoma protein-binding motif (LXCXE/D) in the majority of the Nsp15 of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and its orthologs in [...]
