chondrosarcoma/albumin

The effect of dietary copper deficiency on tumour growth, neovascularisation and microvascular integrity was studied in the rat cremaster muscle. Male, weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed purified diets which were copper deficient (< 0.5 micrograms g-1 of diet) or copper adequate (5 micrograms g-1

Tumor-induced neovascularization is essential for invasion, metastases, and exponential growth of solid tumors. The authors studied the differences in macromolecular leakage from the neovasculature of a fast-growing, early-metastasizing tumor, the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma, and a slow-growing,

OBJECTIVE Myxoid tumours of soft tissue are characterized by their so-called 'myxoid' extracellular matrix. The aim was to investigate the composition and possible function of this matrix which is poorly understood. RESULTS Using Alcian Blue staining with and without pretreatment with hyaluronidase

Cyclofenil diphenol, a weak non-steroidal oestrogen, binds to albumin. In the presence of concentrations of albumin just sufficient to keep cyclofenil diphenol in solution, the compound inhibited the synthesis of [35S]proteoglycans, [3H]glycoproteins, [3H]hyaluronate and [3H]proteins in primary

The effects of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid: ASA) on vessel behavior and tumor response were measured during and after photodynamic therapy (PDT). Changes to vessel constriction, macromolecular leakage, tumor interstitial pressure, and tumor response were examined. Animals were randomly placed into

A receptor that binds the lysosomal enzyme alpha-mannosidase via mannose 6-phosphate moieties (mannose 6-phosphate receptor) was purified from Swarm-rat chondrosarcoma and bovine liver microsomal membranes. Receptor-reconstituted liposomes were prepared by dialysis of taurodeoxycholate-dispersed

OBJECTIVE Certain biomarkers such as the C-reactive protein, serum albumin, and the neutrophils to lymphocyte ratio are of prognostic significance regarding survival in different types of cancers. Data from sarcoma patients are sparse and mainly derived from soft tissue sarcoma and/or metastatic
