TL;DR: Multivariate analysis shows that cyclin D1 and A are two independent prognostic factors in colorectal cancer patients that may help in predicting the clinical outcome of patients on an individual basis and could be considered important therapeutic targets.

TL;DR: The results suggest that autologous CD34+ stem cell transplantation may be safely administered and appears to offer some therapeutic benefit to patients with both viral and autoimmune-induced end-stage liver disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the genomic epidemiology using a dataset of 8746 genomes from 33 African countries and two overseas territories and show that the epidemics in most countries were initiated by importations predominantly from Europe, which diminished following the early introduction of international travel restrictions.

TL;DR: First, autologous MSC infusion into a peripheral vein is as effective as the previously reported intrahepatic infusion and second, MSCs have a supportive role in the treatment of end-stage liver disease, with satisfactory tolerability and beneficial effects on liver synthetic functions and hepatic fibrosis.

TL;DR: Comparison of tumor methylation profile for the tumor suppressor genes APC, FHIT, p15, p16, and E-cadherin in tumor tissues and plasma found plasma DNA can be reliable for testing methylation profiles in liver cancer patients in this population.
