## Abstract Recent studies have shown that statins, the most potent inhibitors of 3โhydroxyโ2โmethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMGโCoA) reductase, stimulate bone formation in vitro and in rodents by activating the expression of bone morphogenetic proteinโ2 (BMPโ2), one of the most critical osteoblast dif

## Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to the TrkA tyrosine kinase and the p75 neurotrophin receptors. Depending upon which receptor is activated, NGF can induce differentiation or apoptosis. C6โ2B glioma cells express the p75 receptor, but NGF decreases their growth only when TrkA is introduc
## Abstract Human Bโ or Tโcell lymphoma lines and primary murine lymphomas were treated with DNA oligonucleotides homologous to the telomere (TTAGGG repeat; โTโoligoโ), either alone or in combination with standard, widelyโused anticancer chemotherapeutic agents. Tโoligo induces cell cycle arrest an
Six human soft-tissue sarcoma and 14 glioma cell lines, exhibiting considerable differences in radioresponsiveness and histological grade of differentiation of the parental tumour, were examined with respect to apoptosis development after irradiation with @Co y-rays. After test doses of 6 and 25 Gy,
