Synergistic interaction of p185c-neu and the EGF receptor leads to transformation of rodent fibroblasts

TL;DR: Observations demonstrate that two distinct, overexpressed tyrosine kinases can act synergistically to transform NIH 3T3 cells, thus identifying a novel mechanism that can lead to transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapamycin is active against B-precursor leukemia in vitro and in vivo, an effect that is modulated by IL-7-mediated signaling.

TL;DR: It is found that rapamycin inhibited growth of B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia lines in vitro, with evidence of apoptotic cell death, and that one of the growth signals inhibited by this class of drugs in precursor B leukemic cells may be IL-7-mediated.
Journal ArticleDOI
