## Abstract Although the liver is the primary site of cytokineβmediated expression of acuteβphase serum amyloid A (SAA) protein, extrahepatic production has also been reported. Besides its role in amyloidosis and lipid homeostasis during the acuteβphase, SAA has recently been assumed to contribute

We have studied the effects of low-energy, low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on cell proliferation, in both human osteoblast-like cells obtained from bone specimens and in human MG-63 osteosarcoma cell line. Assessment of osteoblastic phenotype was performed both by immunolabeling w
## Abstract Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor of bone characterized by its high metastatic potential. For the development of metastasis, activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is required. A novel MMPs inhibitor, reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK), is known to
The effects of interleukin-1 (IL-1), forskolin, and tumor necrosis factor beta (TNF-beta) on tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity were studied in the human osteoblastic osteosarcoma cell line, G292. t-PA activity was measured in the cell media using the chromogenic substrate, S-2251. After a
## Abstract ## Background Cisplatin (cDDP), when used either alone or, more often, in combination with other agents, especially adriamycin, achieves a high response rate in osteosarcoma. Its use, however, is limited by severe nephroβ and neuroβtoxicity. Second generation platinum compounds, most n
