Predicting prognosis and identifying the line of differentiation in gastrointestinal stromal
tumors (GIST) have been problematic. The first part of this review briefly summarizes …

Microvessels basically consist of two cell types: endothelial cells which line the vascular
lumen and smooth muscle cells which are located on the abluminal side of endothelial cells …

Future cell-based therapies such as tissue engineering will benefit from a source of
autologous pluripotent stem cells. For mesodermal tissue engineering, one such source of …

A mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb) recognizing α‐smooth‐muscle actin has been used to
study smooth‐muscle differentiation features in the stromal cells of desmoplastic reactions …

The differentiation of myofibroblastic cells from normal human gingival fibroblasts in vitro has

We report the clinical, histopathologic, immunohistologic, and prognostic findings in 19
patients with cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, eight males and 11 females (mean age, 66 years; …

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) were originally identified as nuclear enzymes involved in
gene transcription regulation. Until recently, it was thought that their activity was restricted …

Actin isoform expression may change during development, and in certain physiological,
experimental and pathological situations. It is accepted that during sarcomeric (skeletal and …
