![The CSC-like cell phenotype is associated with the expression of the Nanog gene [7]. Here, its expression was determined by RT-endpoint PCR. The predicted size of the PCR product was 104 bp. The Nanog gene was highly expressed in both CSC-like cells (A, B) and in one of the two samples of STEMPRO-cultivated cells (C, D). In samples E and F (RPMI-1640-cultivated cells) the Nanog gene was not expressed.](/imgs/rescaled137/3082489_cro0004-0044-f02.png) | Correlation between Cancer Stem Cells and Circulating Tumor Cells and Their Value. | ![The CSC-like cell phenotype is associated with the expression of the Nanog gene [7].

 | Bilateral post-injection fibrosis of the gluteal region mimicking lumbar disc herniation: a case report. |  Figure 2: The distribution of the palpable nodules in the right gluteal region.Bottom Line: Pain in the gluteal region is not a frequently described clinical feature of this condition.Many reports in the literature emphasize a contracture rather than pain.Post-injection fibrosis in the gluteal region may mimic lumbar disc herniation and a detailed... | Kose KC, Altinel L, Isikb C, Komurcuc E, Mutlud S, et al. - Orthop Rev (Pavia) (2009) |

 | Vascularity and perfusion of human gliomas xenografted in the athymic nude mouse. |  Bottom Line: Despite large variation, the perfused vascular area as a proportion of the tumour cross-sectional area exhibited clear tumour line-specific tendencies.These observations suggest that consistent differences in vascular parameters are present between glioma xenograft... | Bernsen HJ, Rijken PF, Oostendorp T, van der Kogel AJ - Br.

 | Self-seeded, position-controlled InAs nanowire growth on Si: A growth parameter study. |  f0030: SEM image of InAs growth following a 1 s (a), and a 16 s (b) indium deposition prior to growth, leading to large crystallites for 16 s indium pre deposition. The samples are seen under 45° tilt.Bottom Line: It is found that the nanowire yield is strongly dependent on the size of the etched holes in the SiO(2), where openings smaller than 180 nm lead to a substantial decrease in nucleation yield, while openings larger than ≈500nm promote nucleation of crystallites... | Mandl B, Dey AW, Stangl J, Cantoro M, Wernersson LE, et al. - J Cryst Growth (2011) |

 | Microtubule-associated protein 2c reorganizes both microtubules and microfilaments into distinct cytological... |  Figure 4: Exogenous MAP2c is present at sites devoid of tubulin but rich in actin. M2 cells, which normally lack all MAP2 isoforms, were microinjected with MAP2c. After MAP2c microinjection, the M2 cell with the three arrows was simultaneously fixed and extracted as...Bottom Line: The juvenile isoform of the neuronal microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2c) is present in growth cones, where we hypothesize it mediates interactions between microfilaments and microtubules.In vitro rheometry confirmed that MAP2c is an efficient actin gelation... | Cunningham CC, Leclerc N, Flanagan LA, Lu M, et al. - J.
