Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a distinct type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the presence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/human herpesvirus 8). Despite having a genotype and gene expression signature of highly differentiated B cells, PEL does not usually

There is increasing attention directed to the hypothesis that apoptosis plays a role in the response to cancer treatment including chemotherapy. However, the evidence to support this hypothesis has come almost entirely from experiments conducted in cultured cell systems. To extend this hypothesis to

OBJECTIVE To determine, as we did for paclit-axel, whether mitotic arrest and apoptosis induced in murine tumors in vivo by docetaxel correlate with the drug's antitumor effect and whether the antitumor efficacy of docetaxel depends on p53 mutational status of tumors. METHODS C3Hf/Kam mice were

BACKGROUND Microtubules are cellular organelles with functions that include control of cell division by mitosis, cell morphology, and transport of material within the cell. The anticancer drug paclitaxel (Taxol) promotes accelerated assembly of excessively stable microtubules. Consequently, treated
