Cell fusion between immune and neoplastic cells initiating tumorigenesis and affecting progression is an untested, century-old hypothesis (9, 10) that has been only circumstantially examined (10, 12, 17, 31, 33–37). Reports of cells located in tumors containing components of both immune and neoplastic cells are increasingly frequent (1, 10–13, 16, 17, 19, 35, 38–44), although without strong evidence of etiologic mechanism or physiologic relevance. Early in vitro studies revealed that cell fusion hybrids displayed reduced cell doubling times relative to their genetic burden (45). More recently, it was suggested that tumor cell fusions gain shorter cell cycling times compared to either of their parental cells (46, 47). These divergent views add to the controversy of whether cell fusion provides a selective advantage to evolving tumors. Moreover, description of MФ gene expression in metastatic cancer cells as evidence that fusion propagates aggressive metastatic spread of cancer (31, 42) is presented without substantial proof that these cells arise from a fusion event, further diminishing enthusiasm for this mechanism. Despite this, MФ–neoplastic cell fusion does provide an intriguing mechanism for how neoplastic cells rapidly gain discrete cellular behaviors to facilitate metastases and to propagate intratumoral heterogeneity. Before this study, experimental results demonstrating in vivo tumor cell fusion with MФs or investigating a function role for cell fusion in tumor progression were undetermined. Here, we demonstrate that cell fusion occurs spontaneously in a number of systems. Cell fusion can contribute to the generation of diverse neoplastic clones with altered phenotypes, implicating it as a mechanism for gain of intratumoral heterogeneity. This finding may reveal insight into diverse tumor cell pathophysiology that underlies treatment resistance, progression, and posttreatment tumor recurrence in human cancer.

It is beyond my capacity to write about the noble character of beloved Muhammad (pbuh), for it is a very vast subject. However, let us have a glance over the holy conduct of Prophet (pbuh) with the intension to remind ourselves, what Allah and Prophet want us to be.

However, there is also a converse argument. Some analysts are pointing out that the recent state elections were contested mostly on local issues, without major campaigning efforts from Modi. As a result, they argue that the BJP would do significantly better in the upcoming national vote, with the prime minister personally leading the campaign and telling people that their choice is between a decisive and charismatic leader like himself and an unknown person at the helm of an inherently unstable and non-ideological coalition.

“That’s too late,” said Dr. Saade of the University of Texas. “It’s like studying cardiac disease or any other medical condition just by doing an autopsy.”

1. Equal Education (‘EE’) is a movement of learners (known as ‘Equalisers’), parents, teachers and community members working for quality and equality in South African education, through analysis, policy development and activism. The origins of the organization in 2008 were in its research work in schools in the working class community of Khayelitsha, Cape Town and it has since drawn attention, including through litigation, to problems required to be tackled in education and government’s failure so to do. Doron Isaacs (‘Isaacs’) was one of the founders and employees of the organization and Zackie Achmat (‘Achmat’) has served on its board and as Chairperson thereof for many years.

133. Much reliance was placed on a judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal, Chairman, Board on Tariffs and Trade and Others v Brenco Inc and Others 2001 (4) SA 511 SCA, where Zulman JA wrote that “fairness is context dependent”, that there “is no single set of principles for giving effect” to rules of natural justice and that there should be “real flexibility” in determining what would be fair in all the circumstances.
