Description:
"Small cells" or "oat cells" characterize a virulent form of lung cancer and share many biochemical properties with peptide-secreting neurones. The neuropeptide bombesin is present in all small-cell lines examined, but not in other lung cancer cell lines, suggesting that bombesinergic precursor cells in lung may give rise to this disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moody, T W -- Pert, C B -- Gazdar, A F -- Carney, D N -- Minna, J D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Dec 11;214(4526):1246-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6272398" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
