Renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer and 8th overall in US. RCC survival rates drop precipitously with regional distant spread recent studies have demonstrated that presents an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype linked to increased recurrence decreased survival.

RET fusions have been found in lung adenocarcinoma, of which KIF5B-RET is the most prevalent. We established inducible transgenic mice and KIF5B-RET-dependent cell lines for preclinical modeling KIF5B-RET-associated adenocarcinoma. Doxycycline-induced CCSP-rtTA/tetO-KIF5B-RET developed invasive adenocarcinoma with desmoplastic reaction. Tumors regressed upon suppression expression. By culturing BaF3 (B/KR) cells increasing concentrations cabozantinib or vandetanib, we identified...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common and devastating disease characterized by hypoxic microenvironment, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition potent resistance to therapy evidencing the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Various CSC markers have been studied in RCC, but overall there limited data on their role most relatively nonspecific.

Shear-resistant adhesion and extravasation of disseminated cancer cells at the target organ is a crucial step in hematogenous metastasis. We found that vascular molecule E-selectin preferentially promoted shear-resistant transendothelial migration estrogen receptor (ER)(-)/CD44(+) hormone-independent breast cells, but not ER(+)/CD44(-/low) hormone-dependent cells. Coincidentally, CD44(+) were abundant metastatic lung brain lesions ER(-) cancer, suggesting supports metastasis ER(-)/CD44(+)...

The adhesion molecule L-selectin is cleaved rapidly from the surface of activated leukocytes by tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme, a cell metalloprotease, and also undergoes slower constitutive shedding in unactivated cells. structural features that render it susceptible to are poorly understood. We therefore analyzed series mutant chimeric molecules. Although murine at specific location juxtamembrane region 11 amino acids distal membrane, this cleavage has little sequence...

We experimentally demonstrate that spin dynamics and the phase diagram of spinor condensates can be conveniently tuned by a two-dimensional optical lattice. Spin population oscillations lattice-tuned separatrix in space are observed every lattice where substantial superfluid fraction exists. In sufficiently deep lattice, we observe transition from longitudinal polar to broken-axisymmetry steady states lattice-confined condensates.

We experimentally study two quantum phase transitions in a sodium spinor condensate immersed microwave dressing field. also demonstrate that many previously unexplored regions the diagram of condensates can be investigated by adiabatically tuning field across one transitions. This method overcomes major experimental challenges associated with some widely used methods, and is applicable to other atomic species. Agreements between our data mean-field theory for Bose gases are discussed.
