OBJECTIVES: Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary shows distinct clinical characteristics depending on the stage. We aimed to investigate the imaging predictability for tumour stage in CCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-six tumours in 48 p…

Since its discovery, diverse functions have been attributed to the G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2), from lipid metabolism to control of cell proliferation. Our group showed for the first time that G0S2 promotes quiescence in hematopoietic stem c…
