SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Thymidine phosphorylase/platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (TP/PDECGF) has diverse functions within cells, including the regulation of thymidine levels, the mediation of angiogenesis and apoptosis and the activation of prodrugs of the cancer chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (5FU). The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the pro-tumor effects of TP, including the molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis stimulation and apoptosis inhibition by TP.
