Fernanda Arnaldez, MD and David Loeb, MD, PhD review the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, pathological findings, molecular analysis and treatment of DSRCT.
The Role of Cytoplasmic p27kip1 in Metastatic Osteosarcoma
In this experimental plan, Yiting Li., MD, PhD and Tsz-Kwong Man, PhD discuss the role of p27kip1 in metastatic osteosarcoma and its relationship with the mTOR pathway.
High throughput miRNA expression profiling for well differentiated and de-differentiated liposarcoma: a progress report
In this study report, Dina Lev, MD discusses why additional molecular alterations/dysregulations are necessary to account for the dismal prognosis of dedifferentiated liposarcomas.
A Mouse Model of Chordoma
In this study report, Brian Harfe, PhD discusses why the presence of limb defects in the mice he is studying suggests the Shh signaling pathway has been activated in notochordal remnants.
