Altered expression of fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) in colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence and in lymph node and liver metastases
(Impact Journals, 2020-06-15)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health problem in elderly people because of its high incidence and high mortality rate. Despite early screening programs, more than half of CRC patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. ...
Soluble PD-L1 Is an Independent Prognostic Factor in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
(MDPI, 2021-02-07)
(1). Background: Immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) is being used to evaluate advanced malignancies with potential response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We evaluated ...
An Integrative Omics Approach Reveals Involvement of BRCA1 in Hepatic Metastatic Progression of Colorectal Cancer
(MDPI, 2020-08-22)
(1) Background & Aims: The roles of different cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are critical to the metastatic process. The phenotypic transformation of the liver cells is one of the most important stages of the ...
Local renin angiotensin system and sperm DNA fragmentation.
(Wolters Kluwer, 2022)
[EN] The renin angiotensin system (RAS) appears to influence male fertility at multiple levels. In this work, we analyzed the relationship between the RAS and DNA integrity. Fifty male volunteers were divided into two ...
A UHPLC-Mass Spectrometry View of Human Melanocytic Cells Uncovers Potential Lipid Biomarkers of Melanoma
(MDPI, 2021-10-08)
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer due to its ability to colonize distant sites and initiate metastasis. Although these processes largely depend on the lipid-based cell membrane scaffold, our understanding of ...
Upregulated phospholipase D2 expression and activity is related to the metastatic properties of melanoma
(Spandidos, 2022-05)
[EN] The incidence rates of melanoma have increased steadily in recent decades and nearly 25% of the patients diagnosed with early-stage melanoma will eventually develop metastasis, for which there is currently no fully ...
What Are the Roles of Proprotein Convertases in the Immune Escape of Tumors?
(MDPI, 2022-12-19)
Protein convertases (PCs) play a significant role in post-translational procedures by transforming inactive precursor proteins into their active forms. The role of PCs is crucial for cellular homeostasis because they are ...
Pirin is a prognostic marker of human melanoma that dampens the proliferation of malignant cells by downregulating JARID1B/KDM5B expression
(Nature, 2023-06)
Originally considered to act as a transcriptional co‑factor, Pirin has recently been reported to play a
role in tumorigenesis and the malignant progression of many tumors. Here, we have analyzed the
diagnostic and ...
Self-assembled three-dimensional hydrogels based on graphene derivatives and cerium oxide nanoparticles: scaffolds for co-culture of oligodendrocytes and neurons derived from neural stem cells
(American Chemical Society, 2023-03)
Stem cell-based therapies have shown promising results for the regeneration of the nervous system. However, the survival and integration of the stem cells in the neural circuitry is suboptimal and might compromise the ...
Notch and Wnt Signaling Modulation to Enhance DPSC Stemness and Therapeutic Potential
(MDPI, 2023-04-17)
The Dental Pulp of permanent human teeth is home to stem cells with remarkable multilineage differentiation ability: human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs). These cells display a very notorious expression of pluripotency ...
