TL;DR: It is hypothesize that these expanded cells are late memory or exhausted cells that have down-modulated the expression of CD27 and filled the immunologic space in the elderly, which might be the age-related manifestation of time-enduring stimulation or dysregulation of the immune system.

TL;DR: The identification of tumorigenic and metastagenic thyroid cancer cells may provide unprecedented preclinical tools for development and preclinical validation of novel targeted therapies.
Abstract: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy and the first cause of death among endo- crine cancers. We show that the tumorigenic capacity in thyroid cancer is confined in a small subpopulation of stem-like cells with high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH high ) activity and unlimited replication potential. ALDH high cells can be expanded indefinitely in vitro as tumor spheres, which retain the tumorigenic potential upon delivery in immunocompromised mice. Orthotopic injection of minute numbers of thyroid cancer stem cells recapitulates the behavior of the parental tumor, including the aggressive metastatic features of undifferentiated thyroid carcinomas, which are sustained by constitutive activation of cMet and Akt in thyroid cancer stem cells. The identification of tumorigenic and metastagenic thyroid cancer cells may provide unprecedented preclinical tools for development and preclinical validation of novel targeted therapies. Cancer Res; 70(21); 8874-85. ©2010 AACR.

TL;DR: Age, breast-feeding, previous deliveries, and the diameter of stones found after delivery were considered as predictors for the disappearance of biliary sludge or gallstones and body weight excess was defined as the percentage by which body weight exceeded ideal body weight.
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the incidence and symptoms of and risk factors for biliary sludge and gallstones during pregnancy and to assess the natural history of these conditions in the first year afte...
