Stem Cells: Biology and Promise for Regenerative Medicine: Part 2: Tapping the Potential of Adult Stem Cells (1:17:03)
Stem cells have both the capacity to self-renew, that is, to divide and create additional stem cells, and also to differentiate along a specified molecular pathway. Embryonic stem cells are very...

Imatinib (Gleevec) as a Paradigm of Targeted Cancer Therapies: Part 3: Extending the Imatinib Paradigm (22:09)
The lessons learned from the clinical trials of imatinib will be reviewed in this section. This will include examples of where imatinib has or has not worked, analysis of target expression versus...

Imatinib (Gleevec) as a Paradigm of Targeted Cancer Therapies: Part 2: Imatinib Resistance and Other Diseases Targeted by Imatinib (25:12)
Although the majority of patients with CML respond well to imatinib, a minority of patients have relapsed. This part of the lecture will cover what has been learned about mechanisms of relapse and...

Adhesion, Signaling and Cancer: Part 3: Focal Adhesions as Stress Sensors (30:57)
In the third segment of my seminar, I address a new frontier in cell biology, that is how cells respond to mechanical information. Cells and tissues are exposed to physical forces in vivo and...

Adhesion, Signaling and Cancer: Part 2: Discovery and Characterization of a Focal Adhesion Protein Implicated in Tumor Progression (50:54)
In the second segment, I describe the identification of the focal adhesion protein, zyxin, by my lab. Recent work revealed that zyxin is down-regulated upon expression of the Ewing sarcoma...

Apoptosis: Part 3: Extrinsic Pathway and Regulation of Apoptosis (23:59)
Apoptosis a form of programmed cell death that plays important roles during animal development, immune response, elimination of damaged cells, and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Apoptosis is...

Apoptosis: Part 2: Factors Involved in the Intrinsic Pathway of Apoptosis (27:39)
Apoptosis a form of programmed cell death that plays important roles during animal development, immune response, elimination of damaged cells, and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Apoptosis is...

Conus Peptides: Part 3: Conus Peptide Genes a "Drug Development Program" (25.36)
Although snails are not the first animals that come to mind when venoms are mentioned, there are in fact a large number (~10,000 species) of different venomous predatory snails. The most...
