## Abstract Accumulation of hyaluronan has been demonstrated in the peritumoral breast cancer stroma and nests of tumor cells. In this study, we have quantified the production of hyaluronan and the expression of mRNAs encoding hyaluronan synthesizing (HAS) and hyaluronan degrading (HYAL) enzymes in

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-met are present in several human tissues but their expression in mesothelial cells has not been examined. In this study, we have investigated the expression of HGF and c-met in normal human mesothelial cells and 11 human malignant mesothelioma cell l
## Abstract Elevated expression of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase EphA3 is associated with lymphocytic leukaemia, but little is known about its expression or function in solid tumours. Out of a panel of cancer cell lines, we found that EphA3 was expressed only on two rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell l
## Abstract The survival rate of children with advanced neuroblastoma (NB) is dismal despite intensive multimodal therapy. The limited efficacy and the frequent and serious side effects of currently used therapeutic regimens necessitate the development of new, less toxic treatment strategies. This
Mutations in the WTI tumor suppressor gene are known t o contribute t o the development of Wilms' tumor (WT) and associated gonadal abnormalities. WTI is expressed principally in the fetal kidney, developing gonads, and spleen and also in the mesothelium, which lines the coelomic cavities. These tis
## Abstract Recent findings of an inverse association between Ξ²βcryptoxanthin and lung cancer risk in several observational epidemiologic studies suggest that Ξ²βcryptoxanthin could potentially act as a chemopreventive agent against lung cancer. However, the biological activity of Ξ²βcryptoxanthin an
