Arrhythmia and electrophysiology, 1(1), 39-48. https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCEP.107.748467

BACKGROUND: A common source of arrhythmogenic spontaneous activity instigating atrial fibrillation is the myocardial tissue, or sleeves, at the base of the pulmonary veins. This study compared the properties of cells from the myocardial sleeves of th...

Investigation of the mechanisms of tissue factor-mediated evasion of tumour cells from cellular cytotoxicity (2008)
Journal Article
Li, C., Collier, M. E. W., Frentzou, G. A., Greenman, J., & Ettelaie, C. (2008). Investigation of the mechanisms of tissue factor-mediated evasion of tumour cells from cellular cytotoxicity. Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 57(9), 1347-1355. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00262-008-0469-6

Aims We previously reported that overexpression of tissue factor (TF) protected HT29 tumour cells from cellular cytotoxicity through a mechanism requiring the presence of the cytoplasmic domain of TF. In this investigation the mechanism of TF-mediate... Read More about Investigation of the mechanisms of tissue factor-mediated evasion of tumour cells from cellular cytotoxicity.
