Parallels and Antagonisms of Embryogenesis and Carcinogenesis

Parallels and Antagonisms of Embryogenesis and Carcinogenesis The main similarities of embryonic and tumor cells, as well as the mechanisms preventing the malignant transformation of embryonic cells, are presented in this review. Special attention is paid to the role of specific polypeptide growth factors in reciprocally excluding processes: embryogenesis and carcinogenesis. Based on the presented analysis, new potential targets for antitumor drugs are considered. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Russian Journal of Developmental Biology Springer Journals

Abstract

The main similarities of embryonic and tumor cells, as well as the mechanisms preventing the malignant transformation of embryonic cells, are presented in this review. Special attention is paid to the role of specific polypeptide growth factors in reciprocally excluding processes: embryogenesis and carcinogenesis. Based on the presented analysis, new potential targets for antitumor drugs are considered.
