Review Insulin-like Growth Factors (Breast Disease) / IOS Press:Over the past five years there has been an explosion of "targeted therapies" for cancer treatment. In most cases, these therapies have been based on pre-clinical data showing that specific molecules play an important role in regulating the malignant phenotype. In breast cancer, there is compelling rationale that such targeted strategies should be successful. Targeting of estrogen receptor ? (ER?) has proven to be a successful way to reduce breast cancer risk, decrease the risk of death and recurrence in an adjuvant setting, and remains the first choice of treatment for advanced disease. With this success, it is hoped that other molecular pathways could also be successfully exploited. This publication reviews the role of the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in breast cancer. Over 100 years ago George Beatson made an intuitive leap connecting breast cancer therapy with ovarian function He removed the ovaries from a premenopausal woman with breast cancer; he reasoned that ovarian function regulated normal mammary gland function, therefore the ovaries may influence the malignant phenotype. Other discussion included cover the function of IGF action in the normal mammary gland using mouse model systems where expression and function can be manipulated and the patterns of expression of the IGFs, their binding proteins, and their receptors in the normal gland.

Review The Human Brain Circulation: Functional Changes in Disease (Vascular Biomedicine) / Humana Press:The Human Brain Circulation offers an original, up-to-date synthesis and summary of our current knowledge of the cerebrovascular circulatory system, with special emphasis on the study of isolated vessels. The contributors describe the normal vasculature and the many complex changes that occur with age and disease. Fetal and newborn circulation is also addressed. In areas where knowledge of human vessels is deficient, research on animal tissues is included. The book is significant because it challenges some of the traditional assumptions based on animal studies of the mechanisms that control human brain vasculature and presents a contemporary view that includes the role of shear stress and intravascular pressure on the arterial circulation. Among the topics discussed are the receptors for vasoactive substances; the molecular aspects of endothelial function in hemostasis; inflammation and thrombosis; the effect of hypertension; the pathophysiology of vasospasm, ischemia, and reperfusion; and the actions of free radicals. Techniques for the in vivo study of cerebrovascular dysfunction are also described. The Human Brain Circulation presents a definitive understanding of this centrally important vascular bed and clearly defines the future direction for research into human cerebrovascular disease and its treatment.
