The following information is about Differentiation.

Differentiation Defined

In cancer, refers to how mature (developed) the cancer cells are in a tumor. Differentiated tumor cells resemble normal cells and tend to grow and spread at a slower rate than undifferentiated or poorly differentiated tumor cells, which lack the structure and function of normal cells and grow uncontrollably.

This definition is in context to Cancer. See more contextual defintions for Differentiation.


Key Proteins In Blood Stem Cell Replication Pinpointed

Published October 10, 2008, 6:21 pm, Science Daily

A discovery from Stanford researchers is the first to directly link the notorious members of the retinoblastoma family of proteins to the cellular production factories responsible for churning out all the blood and immune cells in the body.

Stanford Scientists Pinpoint Key Proteins In Blood Stem Cell Replication

Published October 10, 2008, 3:23 am, BioresearchOnline

A family of cancer-fighting molecules helps blood stem cells in mice decide when and how to divide, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Blocking the molecules' function spurs the normally resting cells to begin proliferating strangely - making too much of one kind of cell and not enough of another

Researchers Provide New Insights Into Common Alterations Of ERG Oncogene In Prostate Cancer

Published October 8, 2008, 3:19 am, Medical News Today

In the past three years, ground-breaking discoveries in the prostate cancer field have highlighted that alterations of ETS related genes (predominantly ERG), as a result of a fusion between male hormone receptor regulated gene promoters (predominantly TMPRSS2) and ETS transcription factors, represent one of the most common oncogenic defects in prostate cancer.

Researchers Provide New Insights Into Common Alterations of ERG Oncogene in Prostate Cancer

Published October 7, 2008, 7:28 am, Newswise

In their continued quest to understand the functional role and clinical utility of ERG alterations in prostate cancer, CPDR researchers have now defined new features of ERG function and expression which will further enhance the potential of ERG as promising biomarker and therapeutic target for prostate cancer.
