Clinical chemotherapy of breast carcinomas must be considered insufficient, mainly due to the appearance of drug resistance. The multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, either intrinsically occurring or acquired, e.g., against a panel of different antineoplastic drugs, is discussed in relation to seve

✦ Synopsis
In the blood of two patients suffering from mammary carcinoma and one from bronchial carcinoma, the levels of substances immunologically cross-reactive with insulin (SICRI) were high before surgery; after surgery normoinsulinemia was restored. Direct evidence of SICRI production by the cultured tumorous tissue is presented. Strong daily SICRI fluctuations were observed, and it is proposed that the fluctuations induce instantaneous hypoglycemias experienced by some tumorous patients.

Background Poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (p(DMAEMA)) can be used successfully for in vitro transfection of different cell lines, including the OVCAR-3 human ovarian carcinoma cell line. The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to transfect OVCAR-3 cells in vivo wit
## Abstract Cell characterization of primary cultures in vertebrates is well established but not in marine invertebrates. This fact is hampering advances in the development of tissue cultures from this species. In the present study, a panel of antibodies to structural proteins, stress proteins, onc
