Cell-cycle progression and response of germ cell tumors to cisplatin in vitro
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are highly sensitive to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. It has been suggested that the chemosensitivity of GCTs can be partially attributed to the preference of apoptosis induction over a p21-mediated G1/S phase cell-cycle arrest following induction of p53. Since cell-cycle progression can be manipulated by a growing number of targeted agents, a thorough understanding of the...
