Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoarthritis cartilage histopathology: grading and staging

TL;DR: The OARSI cartilage OA histopathology grading system appears consistent and simple to apply as discussed by the authors, however, further studies are required to confirm the system's utility, as well as their reproducibility and validity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular matrix proteins protect small cell lung cancer cells against apoptosis: A mechanism for small cell lung cancer growth and drug resistance in vivo

TL;DR: It is shown here that SCLC is surrounded by an extensive stroma of extracellular matrix (ECM) at both primary and metastatic sites, which enhances tumorigenicity and confers resistance to chemotherapeutic agents as a result of β1 integrin-stimulated tyrosine kinase activation suppressing chemotherapy-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of new susceptibility loci for osteoarthritis (arcOGEN): A genome-wide association study

TL;DR: One of the signals close to genome-wide significance was within the FTO gene, which is involved in regulation of bodyweight—a strong risk factor for osteoarthritis.
Journal Article

Tumour incidence, spectrum and ploidy in mice with a large deletion in the p53 gene

TL;DR: A large deletion within the p53 gene is generated, consistent with the concept that p53 acts as a tumour suppressor by preventing the propagation of DNA damage to daughter cells.
