Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for transgene expression in target cells. Expression constructs using an inducible amplification system to drive expression of a therapeutic gene or other gene of interest in mammalian host cells are provided, as well as methods therefor. Inducible expression of the transgenes at high levels under physiologic conditions results from induction by hyperthermic conditions relative to the basal temperature of the host cells.

Abstract:
Methods for modeling cancer cell migration, screening drugs for effects on tumor cell migration, and detecting the potential for tumor cell migration relating to the fusion of a bone marrow derived stem cell with a genetically altered cell (FIG. ). Antibodies against ubiquitin are shown to inhibit tumor cell migration.

Abstract:
Model systems and methods for exploring mechanisms of carcinogenesis and the acquisition of metastatic ability, and to provide insights into potential therapeutic targets. The systems include and methods involve fusion of a stem cell and a genetically altered cell to evaluate carcinogenesis and metastasis and for the discovery and evaluation of new therapeutic targets to inhibit metastasis and other markers of carcinogenesis.

The first twenty minutes was all Bears but they just couldn't get over the line and even when probing runs by Matt Cooper and Patrick Evans saw Tom Tsang and Scott Clendenning-Fenton make breaks, the final pass went to ground on both occasions. ...
Brad Massey and Rob Brown scored first half tries to give the home side a slender 12-10 lead at the break. Tom Tsang, Nick Thatcher, Grant, Mike Venn and Adam Barnett all crossed after the interval with Aaron Higgins adding a fourth conversion.
The Bears stretched their lead when Grant broke through on the right and Tom Tsang scored, displaying some neat footwork in the process. Another powerful set of drives from the Bears big pack left the Dewsbury defence in tatters allowing Nick Thatcher ...
