Peripheral Blood T Lymphocytes and Lymphocytes Infiltrating Human Cancers Express Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor: A Potential Role for T Cells in Angiogenesis
Michael R. Freeman,Francis X. Schneck,Michael L. Gagnon,Christopher L. Corless,Shay Soker,Kathy Niknejad,G. E. Peoples,Michael Klagsbrun +7 more
TL;DR: The finding that peripheral T cells and TIL in human tumors synthesize a factor known to be a specific mediator of neovascularization suggests a role for T lymphocytes as cellular effectors of angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic and Cytogenetic Characterization of Human Bladder Urothelia Expanded in Vitro
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that primary cultures of autologous human bladder epithelial cells can be extensively expanded in vitro and, consequently, might be used in cell transplantation strategies for genitourinary reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor is an autocrine growth factor for human urothelial cells and is synthesized by epithelial and smooth muscle cells in the human bladder.
Michael R. Freeman,James J. Yoo,Gerhard Raab,Shay Soker,Rosalyn M. Adam,Francis X. Schneck,Andrew A. Renshaw,Michael Klagsbrun,Anthony Atala +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), an activating HER1 ligand, is an autocrine regulator of HUC growth and suggests a physiologic role for HB- EGF in the regulation of urothelial proliferation and regeneration subsequent to mucosal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Ureteroscopy First Line Treatment for Pediatric Stone Disease
Marc C. Smaldone,Glenn M. Cannon,Hsi-Yang Wu,Jeffrey C. Bassett,Ethan G. Polsky,Mark F. Bellinger,Steven G. Docimo,Francis X. Schneck +7 more
TL;DR: Improved ureteroscopic access to stones throughout the pediatric urinary tract and stone-free rates that are comparable to the adult population have led to the adoption of ureTERoscopy as first line therapy in children at this institution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin-like 3/relaxin-like factor gene mutations are associated with cryptorchidism.
Marlah Tomboc,Peter A. Lee,Mohamed F. M. Mitwally,Francis X. Schneck,Mark F. Bellinger,Selma F. Witchel +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis to identify two mutations, R49X and P69L, located in the connecting peptide region of the protein.
