Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines in the Regulation of Glioma Tumour Growth and AngiogenesisChristina Piperi, Athanasios Zisakis, Robert W. Lea, Anastasios KalofoutisMalignant glioblastomas are the most common type of primary brain tumors accounting for more than 50% of all intracranial gliomas. Due to their aggressive nature, recurrent growth, and their extremely poor prognosis for survival, research approaches have made little progress in advancing treatment of these tumours which have the ability of both modulating host immune function and neutralizing immune-based therapies. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,870 accessesView PDFCite

Such a problem is well known … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Relationship between Cohesion and ComplexityCara Stein, Glenn Cox, Letha EtzkornMany metrics have been proposed to measure the complexity or cohesion of object-oriented software. However, the complexity or cohesion of a piece of software is more difficult to capture than these metrics imply. In fact, studies have shown that existing metrics consistently fail to capture complexity or cohesion well. This study explores the reasons behind these results: cohesion is difficult … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,528 accessesView PDFCite
