Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene 1 (BRCA1) And Breast Cancer
(2009-04-15)Breast Cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) & Breast Cancer Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting women worldwide. About 5-10% of all cases are estimated to be familial. Mutations in the BRCA1 ... -
Development of 3D model and understanding translational regulation of breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India and worldwide. It is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by several genetic and epigenetic alterations in mammary epithelial cells. Both inter- and intra-patient ... -
Glycobiological Regulation of Breast Cancer Invasion
Invasiveness of cancer is the predominant reason behind mortality associated with the disease. Although long under active investigation, fundamental aspects of the early steps of cancer invasion and metastasis are still ... -
Influence of Tgf-B on Mechanobiology of Human Breast Cancer Cells
Breast cancers are characterized by extensive modifications to mechanical properties of the tissue via increased ECM production and vascularization. TGF-B is a multi-functional cytokine that is implicated in cancer invasion ... -
Investigating the role of AMPK in mammary gland alveologenesis and lactation
AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor that regulates cell growth and metabolism. Reports from our laboratory and others have shown the context-specific role of AMPK signaling in breast cancer. However, its role ... -
Role of Activin A Signaling in Breast Cancer
(2017-11-22)Activin-A is a member of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines which includes TGF-βs, Activins, Nodal, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs) and anti-Mullerian ... -
Role Of Insulin-Like Growth Factors Binding Protien 2 (IGFBP2) In Breast Cancer
(2016-04-27)Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulate the bioavailability of IGFs in circulation. IGFBPs 1-6 bind IGFs with high affinity and can either potentiate or inhibit IGF signaling in a context dependent ... -
Role of Mammalian RAD51 Paralogs in Genome Maintenance and Tumor Suppression
(2018-01-28)My research was focused on understanding the importance of mammalian RAD51 paralogs in genome maintenance and suppression of tumorigenesis. The investigation carried out during this study has been addressed toward gaining ...
