Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) induces cell motility and tissue remodeling of various epithelial cells through its receptor, the product of the proto-oncogene c-met. High levels of HGF/SF have been correlated with poor prognosis in human breast carcinoma. In this study, we examined

## BACKGROUND. The expression of bcl-2 has been studied extensively in a variety of human tumors. However, there is a lack of clinical data regarding its expression in germ cell testicular tumors (GCTTs). ## METHODS. In this study, the authors screened 70 patients with GCTTs for bcl-2 expression
Mast cells (MCs) are known as key cells of immediate type hypersensitivity reactions. It has recently been shown that MCs regulate ยฎbroblast proliferation by heterotypic cellยฑcell contact and secretion of interleukin-4 (IL-4) in vitro. It was therefore hypothesized that MCs may contribute to wound r
The protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 is predominantly expressed in hemopoietic cell lineages, where its function is relatively well defined. However, its expression profile also extends to certain epithelial cell types. Furthermore, the negative regulatory role of this enzyme in hemopoietic cell s
