L B Goldsmith et al.
Contact dermatitis, 19(5), 348-350 (1988-11-01)
Irritant contact dermatitis along with an increased transepidermal water loss can result from exposing the skin to solvents. A study of the interaction of various solvents with human stratum corneum was made using thin-layer chromatography. Comparison of 10 solvents (trichloroethylene

Cancer immunology research, 3(6), 602-609 (2015-03-22)
Oncogene activation in tumor cells induces broad and complex cellular changes that contribute significantly to disease initiation and progression. In melanoma, oncogenic BRAF(V600E) has been shown to drive the transcription of a specific gene signature that can promote multiple mechanisms
Federico Mele et al.
Nature communications, 6, 6431-6431 (2015-03-17)
T helper (TH) cell polarization during priming is modulated by a number of signals, but whether polarization to a given phenotype also influences recall responses of memory TH cells is relatively unknown. Here we show that miR-181a is selectively induced
Jeong-Hwan Yoon et al.
Nature communications, 6, 7600-7600 (2015-07-22)
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are the pivotal cytokines to induce IL-17-producing CD4(+) T helper cells (TH17); yet their signalling network remains largely unknown. Here we show that the highly homologous TGF-β receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads): Smad2 and Smad3
L Schafranek et al.
Leukemia, 29(1), 76-85 (2014-05-13)
Kinase inhibitors block proliferative signals in BCR-ABL1+ leukemic cells, but their capacity to induce apoptosis is poorly understood. Initial studies suggested that very brief exposure to kinase inhibitors was sufficient to induce apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells. However
