Gene Expression Profiling And Insights Into The Involvement Of The Insulin Signaling Pathway In Oral Cancer
(2008-08-27)1. Despite extensive research on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), its five-year survival rate has not improved for the last two decades. Effective treatment of OSCC requires the identification of molecular targets to ... -
Identification of Therapeutic Targets for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(2018-04-03)Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck cancer, with a worldwide incidence of 275,000 new cases annually (Warnakulasuriya, 2009). Globally, the head and neck carcinoma represents a major cause ... -
Proteomic Approaches to Study Glioma Development, Progression and Therapy
(2018-04-02)Astrocytoma, the tumor of astrocytic origin, accounts for about 60 % of the primary brain tumors. As per World Health Organization grading system, astrocytoma is classified as circumscribed astrocytoma (Grade I; pilocytic ... -
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 DNA Methylation in Glioblastoma Development
(2018-04-11)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant of the glial tumors. These tumors may develop from lower-grade astrocytomas (diffuse astrocytoma; grade II or anaplastic astrocytoma; grade III) through a progressive ... -
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 ... -
Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of the Tumor Suppressor CDC73 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma : Implications for Cancer Therapeutics
(2018-04-16)CDC73, also known as HRPT2, is a tumour suppressor gene whose expression is lost or downregulated in parathyroid, renal, breast, uterine and gastric cancers. However, the reports regarding the role of CDC73 in oral squamous ...
