Cell-Centric View of Apoptosis and Apoptotic Cell Death-Inducing Antitumoral Strategies
(MDPI, 2011-03-03)
Programmed cell death and especially apoptotic cell death, occurs under physiological conditions and is also desirable under pathological circumstances. However, the more we learn about cellular signaling cascades, the ...
Identification of a panel of serum protein markers in early stage of sepsis and its validation in a cohort of patients
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening illness with a challenging diagnosis. Current serum biomarkers are not sensitive enough for diagnosis. With the aim of finding proteins associated with sepsis, serum protein profile ...
Associative Conditioning Is a Robust Systemic Behavior in Unicellular Organisms: An Interspecies Comparison
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-19)
The capacity to learn new efficient systemic behavior is a fundamental issue of contemporary biology. We have recently observed, in a preliminary analysis, the emergence of conditioned behavior in some individual amoebae ...
A Customized Pigmentation SNP Array Identifies a Novel SNP Associated with Melanoma Predisposition in the SLC45A2 Gene
(Public Library of Science, 2011-04-29)
As the incidence of Malignant Melanoma (MM) reflects an interaction between skin colour and UV exposure, variations in genes implicated in pigmentation and tanning response to UV may be associated with susceptibility to ...
Involvement of ANXA5 and ILKAP in Susceptibility to Malignant Melanoma
(Public Library Science, 2014-04-17)
Single nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) are a source of diversity among human population, which may be responsible for the different individual susceptibility to diseases and/or response to drugs, among other phenotypic ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Interplay between Natural Selection and Susceptibility to Melanoma on Allele 374F of SLC45A2 Gene in a South European Population
(Public Library Science, 2014-08-05)
We aimed to study the selective pressures interacting on SLC45A2 to investigate the interplay between selection and susceptibility to disease. Thus, we enrolled 500 volunteers from a geographically limited population ...
Computational and Experimental Evaluation of the Immune Response of Neoantigens for Personalized Vaccine Design
(MDPI, 2023-05-19)
In the last few years, the importance of neoantigens in the development of personalized antitumor vaccines has increased remarkably. In order to study whether bioinformatic tools are effective in detecting neoantigens that ...
BRAF V600E mutational load as a prognosis biomarker in malignant melanoma
(Public Library Science, 2020-03-13)
Analyzing the mutational load of driver mutations in melanoma could provide valuable information regarding its progression. We aimed at analyzing the heterogeneity of mutational load of BRAF V600E in biopsies of melanoma ...
