The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program frequently reactivated in cancer. It plays an important role in several aspects of tumor progression, particularly in the acquisition of invasive capacities facilitating metastasis. ...
A method for determining the prognosis for survival of a patient having cancer is disclosed, said cancer being altered (i.e. highly activated or alternatively inactive/inhibited) in the NMDAR signalling pathway, said method comprising determining the expre ...
Nowadays, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. The actual medical tools to detect cancer at early stage suffer to their low sensitivity. The design of multimodal nanodevices for in vivo imaging offers the perspective of canc ...
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) as a major health problem in industrialized countries is highly preventable and can be successfully treated in the early stages. However, incidence and mortality of CRC has increased over the last two decades. The reason could be ...
Identification of isomeric amino acid residues in peptides and proteins is challenging but often highly desired in proteomics. One of the practically important cases that require isomeric assignments is that associated with single-nucleotide polymorphism s ...
Depletion of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) or reprogramming toward a proinflammatory activation state represent different strategies to therapeutically target this abundant myeloid population. In this study, we report that inhibitio ...
SPROUTY-2 (SPRY2) is a modulator of tyrosine kinase receptor signaling with receptor-and cell type-dependent inhibitory or enhancing effects. Studies on the action of SPRY2 in major cancers are conflicting and its role remains unclear. Here we have dissect ...
The HVEM (TNFRSF14) receptor gene is among the most frequently mutated genes in germinal center lymphomas. We report that loss of HVEM leads to cell-autonomous activation of B cell proliferation and drives the development of GC lymphomas in vivo. HVEM-defi ...
Colorectal cancer is treatable and curable when detected at early stages. However there is a lack of less invasive and more specific screening and diagnosis methods which would facilitate its prompt identification. Blood circulating autoantibodies which ar ...
The present invention relates to gene sets, the expression levels of which are useful for classifying colorectal tumors and predicting disease-free prognosis and response of patients to specific therapies that are either novel or currently available in the ...
