102 Couldwell, William T.Increased invasive capacity of connexin43-overexpressing malignant glioma cellsObject. Malignant glioma cells, similar to astrocytes, express connexin43 (Cx43) universally but at widely varied levels.

The goal of this study was to review the management of intra- and extradural ependymomas. Spinal ependymomas most commonly occur as intramedullary tumors throughout the spinal axis. In the lumbosacral region, ependymomas are most commonly associated with the conus medullaris and cauda equina...Intradural ependymoma; Extradural ependymoma; Lumbosacral lesion2003
109 Kerber, Richard A.A genome-wide study replicates linkage of 3p22-24 to extreme longevity in humans and identifies possible additional lociBackground: Although there is abundant evidence that human longevity is heritable, efforts to map loci responsible for variation in human lifespan have had limited success. Methodology/Principal Findings: We identified individuals from a large multigenerational population database (the Utah Populati...2012-01-01
110 Couldwell, William T.Immunology and immunotherapy of intrinsic glial tumorsImmunological aspects of glial neoplasms have been actively investigated for the past several years with particular focus on academic, diagnostic, and therapeutic objectives. As more knowledge is acquired about the cellular events relating to tumor behavior the more it appears that the immune system...Immunology; Glial tumors1990
111 Christensen, Douglas A.Ultrasound-enhanced localized chemotherapy of drug-sensitive and multidrug resistant tumorsA new modality of targeted tumor chemotherapy is based on the drug encapsulation in polymeric nanoparticles followed by a localized release at the tumor site triggered by focused ultrasound. Effect of 1 MHz and 3 MHz unfocused ultrasound applied locally to the tumor on the Doxorubicin (DOX) biodistr...Ultrasound-enhanced chemotherapy; Drug-resistant tumors; Biodistribution; Tumor sonication2006
112 Schmidt, Meic H.NASA light-emitting diode medical program-progress in space flight and terrestrial applicationsThis work is supported and managed through the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - SBIR Program. Studies on cells exposed to microgravity and hypergravity indicate that human cells need gravity to stimulate cell growth. As the gravitational force increases or decreases, the cell function responds in...Terrestrial applications; Cell growth; NASA; Microgravity environment2000
113 Loftus, Patrick David; Rosenblatt, Jody; Eisenhoffer Jr., George ThomasInduced pressure promotes extrusion and transient polyp formation in MDCK monolayers to maintain homeostasisIn the human body about 100,000 cells are produced every second by mitosis and a similar number die by apoptosis. What happens if too much death occurs? What happens if too little death occurs? How are dying epithelial cells removed?Extrusion; MDCK monolayers; Polyp formation; Trapeze Interactive Poster2010-03-15
114 Schmidt, Meic H.Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach for anterior decompression and stabilization of metastatic spine diseaseObject. The choices available in the management of metastatic spine disease are complex, and the role of surgical therapy is increasing. Recent studies have indicated that patients treated with direct surgical decompression and stabilization before radiation have better functional outcomes than thos...Metastatic spine disease; Minimally invasive surgery; Spinal cord decompression2008
115 Couldwell, William T.; Gillespie, David L.; Jensen, Randy L.Novel model of intracranial meningioma in mice using luciferase-expressing meningioma cellsObject. Meningioma research has been hindered by the inability to sequentially measure intracranial tumor growth in a cost-effective, efficient manner. Recently, the luciferase gene has been transfected into cancer lines to obtain cells that express the luciferase enzyme, which oxidizes luciferin in...2008-01-01
116 Landesman, Bruce M.Violence, terrorism and justice eds. Frey, R. G., & Morris, C., Christopher W. (Review)Consider two views about terrorism. The first, the conventional view, is that terrorism is an outrage. It involves, typically, the kidnapping, killing, and intimidation of innocent people who simply happen to be in the wrong place. Terrorists are fanatics, thugs, criminals, deranged individuals, wh...Kill; Assault; terrorist1993

122 Couldwell, William T.; Gillespie, David L.; Jensen, Randy L.Identification of hypoxia-induced genes in a malignant glioma cell line (U-251) by cDNA microarray analysisOvercoming the metabolic restrictions of hypoxia may allow the progression of lower-grade tumors to glioblastoma multiforme. Our findings of up-regulation of HIF-1α and its downstream targets VEGF, GLUT-1, and CAIX in higher-grade gliomas support this hypothesis. We compared the gene expression pro...Glioblastoma multiforme; U-251; Hypoxia; Microarray analysis; Brain tumor; Depp; Astrocytoma2007
123 Dwan, JohnIgnored medical problemA physician who doesn't recommend that a patient stop smoking is hard to find. Few, however, try to help patients lose weight, even though a recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) study showed that at least 300,000 deaths each year can be attributed to being overweight, obese or severely overwei...Diet; Life Style; Therapeutic Aspects; Science of nutrition2000-03
124 Mitchell, Joyce A.Computational Feature of Selection and Classification of RET Phenotypic SeverityAlthough many reported mutations in the RET oncogene have been directly associated with hereditary thyroid carcinoma, other mutations are labelled as uncertain gene variants because they have not been clearly associated with a clinical phenotype. The process of determining the severity of a mutation...2010-01-01
125 Couldwell, William T.Communication between malignant glioma cells and vascular endothelial cells through gap junctionsObject. Extensive invasion and angiogenesis are hallmark features of malignant gliomas.
