  • While scoring the immunohistochemical slides, we noticed that the mammary histology appeared to be altered in rats treated with chemopreventive agents.

  • While this manuscript was under consideration, two papers presented new evidence on how Cdc5 contributes to exit from mitosis [ 29 26 ] . To summarize our study and these recent findings, we present a model (Figure 7) that is consistent with all of the available data.

  • Qaddafi sent two of his lieutenants to receive Mubarak while he waited for the Egyptian president in his tent "not very far from the airport," al-Quds al-Arabi noted.

  • The cell surface expressed integrins can control this process by physically interacting with the extracellular matrix proteins and other cell surface proteins on endothelial cells lining the blood vessel wall [ 1 ] . These integrins signal adhesion and migration by communicating with several tyrosine kinases inside the cell, including the Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) and Src family kinases [ 1 2 ] . Src kinases control the activation of FAK, as well as the tyrosine phosphorylation of critical substrates that regulate adhesion and migration [ 3 ] . Indeed, colon cancer cells with high metastatic potential have elevated levels of Src activity or activating mutations in the Src gene [ 4 5 ] . One Src substrate that is involved in regulating an important signaling node in this process is the adaptor protein p130 cas (Cas) [ 6 7 8 9 10 ] . Cas appears to play a central role in the transformation process by several oncogenes including ras, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), v-Src, v-crk, and Bcr-Abl, as these tumors all have elevated levels of tyrosine phosphorylated Cas [ 6 11 12 13 ] . Cells from mice that lack Cas have much reduced migration and are resistant to transformation by v-Src, while expression of Cas anti-sense RNA in cells transformed with ras, v-Src or ODC result in reversion of the transformed phenotype [ 11 14 15 ] . Furthermore, increased expression of Cas can rescue cell migration and adhesion in cells expressing the tumor suppressor PTEN, and can enhance cell migration and adhesion in normal cells, with a major role being played by the substrate domain [ 16 17 ] .

  • The IRS is backing off attempts at auditing the complex returns of the better off, while putting more effort into looking for abuse of the Earned Income Tax Credit, a credit available only to the working poor, and into catching people who file no returns at all, traditionally a practice inordinately associated with modest earners.
