Phylogenetic Position of a Copper Age Sheep (Ovis aries) Mitochondrial DNA
(2012-03-01)
Background: Sheep (Ovis aries) were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region about 9,000-8,000 years ago. Currently, few mitochondrial (mt) DNA studies are available on archaeological sheep. In particular, no data on ...
Role of the Tripartite Motif Protein 27 in Cancer Development
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2012-06-01)
Background The tripartite motif family protein 27 (TRIM27) is a transcriptional repressor that interacts with, and attenuates senescence induction by, the retinoblastoma-associated protein (RB1). High expression of TRIM27 ...
Charged particles in radiotherapy: A 5-year update of a systematic review
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2012-04-01)
Although proton therapy has been used for many decades because of their superior dose distribution over photons and reduced integral dose, their clinical implementation is still controversial. We updated a systematic review ...
Mechanism-based screen establishes signalling framework for DNA damage-associated G1 checkpoint response.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2012-02-27)
DNA damage activates checkpoint controls which block progression of cells through the division cycle. Several different checkpoints exist that control transit at different positions in the cell cycle. A role for checkpoint ...
Prognostic signatures in breast cancer: correlation does not imply causation
(2012-01-01)
Testing the statistical associations between microarray-based gene expression signatures and patient outcome has become a popular approach to infer biological and clinical significance of laboratory observations. Venet and ...
Prognostic value of proliferation assay in the luminal, HER2-positive, and triple-negative biologic classes of breast cancer
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-02-01)
Introduction: Although the prognostic significance of proliferation in early invasive breast cancer has been recognized for a long time, recent gene-expression profiling studies have reemphasized its biologic and prognostic ...
Impact of the cystic fibrosis mutation F508del-CFTR on renal cyst formation and growth.
(AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2012-10-15)
In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the protein product of the gene defective in cystic fibrosis (CF), plays a crucial role in fluid accumulation, ...
Mig6 Is a Sensor of EGF Receptor Inactivation that Directly Activates c-Abl to Induce Apoptosis during Epithelial Homeostasis
(CELL PRESS, 2012-09-11)
A fundamental aspect of epithelial homeostasis is the dependence on specific growth factors for cell survival, yet the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We found an “inverse” mode of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling ...
Renal cancer biomarkers: the promise of personalized care
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2012-09-27)
Significant advances in our understanding of the biology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been achieved in recent years. These insights have led to the introduction of novel targeted therapies, revolutionising the ...
