Historical perspective of cell-cell fusion in cancer initiation and progression.

Critical reviews in oncogenesis - 1 Jan 2013

Parris George E

Abstract excerpt

This review discusses the topic of cell-cell fusion as it related to cancer causation, progression and metastasis. The relevant time period is over a century of research and analysis from the observation and hypothesis of Theodor Boveri in circa 1902 to the most recent publications in 2012. There are three main intertwined thrusts in this history: (i) progress in our overall understanding of cancer and the...
