TL;DR: It is demonstrated that heregulin β1 induces VEGF secretion in most cancer cell lines, while no significant effect was observed in normal human mammary and bronchial primary cells.

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that claudin-7 and connexin 31.1 are down-regulated in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) compared to normal cells, and a source of potential targets for HNSCC prevention and/or therapeutics.

TL;DR: The first to examine the role of all members of the ErbB tyrosine kinase receptors (epidermal growth factor receptor), expressed singly or as paired receptor combinations, in the regulation of angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, reveals that EGFR/ErbB-2 and Erb B-2/ErBB-3 heterodimers are the most potent inducers of vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA expression.

TL;DR: The relationship between DNA damage/repair mechanisms and cancer, and how the authors can target these pathways are discussed.

TL;DR: The study suggests that nCeO2 incorporated PHBV membranes have strong potential to be used as wound dressings to enhance cell proliferation and vascularization and promote the healing of diabetic wounds.
