The introduction of colposcopy and exfoliative cytology as a means of examining the cervix uteri has opened up the possibility of studying the preceding and early stages of invasive carcinoma of the cervix and has also brought to light a number of conditions which are possibly only indirectly related, if related at all, to cervical neo- with histological evaluation it is possible to plasia.
Advances in genetics, molecular biology and gene delivery technologies in recent years have led to new gene therapy strategies for treatment of a variety of diseases.
Given that treatment with curative intent is possible in only one-half of cancer victims, and that such treatment frequently fails, the majority of patients with cancer will require relief of symptoms and signs caused by their disease.
The title "e;Stem Cells from Cord Blood, In Utero Stem Cell Develop- ment, and Transplantation-Inclusive Gene Therapy"e; suggests that more than one topic is combined in one workshop.
Autoimmunity, characterized by autoreactive lymphocytes and autoantibodies, is the consequence of a failure to discriminate between self and non-self, and autoimmune diseases are an increasing threat to people living in the industrialized countries.
Professor Egon Diczfalusy, a pioneer in gynaecological endocrinology and in particular female contraception, celebrated his 80th birthday with a scientific symposium.
The induction of immune responses against tumor cells by vaccination is rapidly evolving as a therapeutic modality with new potentials for the treatment of cancer.
A number of chapters present the most novel research on testicular and epididymal functions or on more general fields of hormone action and molecular cell biology as it is now a tradition.
Forty years of Interferon I wish to dedicate this short introduction to the memory of Alick Isaacs (1921-1967), and to that of Sir Christopher Andrewes (1896-1988).
Over the past decade, rapid progress had been made in elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of new blood vessel formation in both health and disease.
The last 15 years have brought an understanding of growth and differentiation at the molecular level, expanding our knowledge of the origin and progression of cancer.
It is now widely accepted that cells have the ability to initiate a program of gene-directed death, a process called "e;apoptosis"e; which may also be used as an innovative strategy for therapeutic intervention in cancer therapy.
Bone is a sex hormone-dependent organ, which has importantimplications for current therapeutic strategies in theprevention and possible treatment of bone loss in theelderly.
Cell biology has made an appreciable impact on the evaluation of physiological and pathophysiological processes leading to a more detailed understanding of the signaling mechanisms by which cells communicate in vivo and in vitro and modify adaptively.
Investigations into the mechanisms of spennatogenesis, sperm matura- tion and fertilization provide the basis of our understanding of male re- productive physiology.
Evidence accumulated over the past decade show that gonadal steroid hormones participate in an important way in the physiological and pa- thophysiological regulation of the cardiovascular system.
