Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.
See R-spondin 1 and Chemotherapy
Cysteine
Cysteine (symbol Cys or C) is a semiessential proteinogenic amino acid with the formula.
DKK1
Dickkopf-related protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DKK1 gene.
Fertilisation
Fertilisation or fertilization (see spelling differences), also known as generative fertilisation, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to give rise to a zygote and initiate its development into a new individual organism or offspring.
See R-spondin 1 and Fertilisation
Furin
Furin is a protease, a proteolytic enzyme activated by substrate presentation that in humans and other animals is encoded by the FURIN gene.
Hypoplasia
Hypoplasia (adjective form hypoplastic) is underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue or organ.
See R-spondin 1 and Hypoplasia
Leydig cell
Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of the testes and interstitial cells of Leydig, are found adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testicle and produce testosterone in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH).
See R-spondin 1 and Leydig cell
Mucositis
Mucositis is the painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract, usually as an adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for cancer.
Oral mucosa
The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane lining the inside of the mouth.
See R-spondin 1 and Oral mucosa
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy or radiotherapy (RT, RTx, or XRT) is a treatment using ionizing radiation, generally provided as part of cancer therapy to either kill or control the growth of malignant cells.
See R-spondin 1 and Radiation therapy
Sex-determining region Y protein
Sex-determining region Y protein (SRY), or testis-determining factor (TDF), is a DNA-binding protein (also known as gene-regulatory protein/transcription factor) encoded by the SRY gene that is responsible for the initiation of male sex determination in therian mammals (placental mammals and marsupials).
See R-spondin 1 and Sex-determining region Y protein
SOX9
Transcription factor SOX-9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX9 gene.
Thrombospondin 1
Thrombospondin 1, abbreviated as THBS1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the THBS1 gene.
See R-spondin 1 and Thrombospondin 1
Wnt signaling pathway
The Wnt signaling pathways are a group of signal transduction pathways which begin with proteins that pass signals into a cell through cell surface receptors.
See R-spondin 1 and Wnt signaling pathway
WNT4
WNT4 is a secreted protein that, in humans, is encoded by the WNT4 gene, found on chromosome 1.
