This study investigated the use of three different established cell sorting strategies to isolate and characterize stem cells from head and neck cancer cell lines. Five low passage cell lines were subjected to cell sorting based on Hoechst side population, Aldefluor and CD44 expression. Isolated cel...

Efficacy and safety of anticancer drugs are traditionally studied using cancer cell lines and animal models. Recently, a potential anticancer agent, JQ1, an inhibitor of bromodomain and extra terminal (BET) protein, has been shown to promote apoptosis of cancerous cells by arresting them in G1 phase...

Background: Human papillomavirus has been shown to have a causal role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and represents a distinct and well-defined pathology. While HPV-positive HNSCC is associated with a better response to treatment and prognosis, a subset of patients do no...

Patients undergoing either partial or radical nephrectomy at William Beaumont Hospital (Royal Oak, MI) were consented prior to surgery with local IRB oversight. Samples were collected at time of surgery and stored at -80°C according to CAP (College of American Pathologist)-accredited standard opera...

Purpose: Due to the rarity of Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC), prospective clinical trials have not been practical. This study seeks to identify biomarkers to differentiate between patients with a good and poor prognosis. Methods: Patients were stratified into good, moderate or poor prognosis. Merkel c...

Purpose: The diagnosis of high grade intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is difficult to distinguish from low grade IPMN. The aim of this study was to identify potential markers for the discrimination of high grade and invasive IPMN from low and moderate grade IPMN. Experimental Design: L...

Low passage head and neck squamous cancer cells (UT-14-SCC) were injected into the flanks of female nu/nu mice to generate xenografts. After tumors reached a size of 500mm3, they were treated with either sham RT or 15 Gy in one fraction. At different time points, days 0, 3, 10 and for controls and d...
