Characterization Of Human Mammary Stem Cells Grown As Mammospheres
(2011-01-11)Adult stem cells are a small population present within several tissues of an individual, possessing two unique properties: one, the ability to differentiate to give rise to all the cell types of the tissue, and second, the ... -
Deciphering the Mechanisms of AMPK Activation upon Anchorage- Deprivation
(2018-01-07)AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of energy homeostasis in cells. It has been implicated as a therapeutic target for various metabolic diseases like type II diabetes and obesity. However, its role in ... -
Investigating the mechanisms of cancer drug resistance
Clinical chemo-resistance has posed a challenge to scientists and clinicians since the development of chemotherapeutics as anticancer strategy. Mechanisms of drug resistance continue to be a subject investigation amongst ... -
Regulation of Notch signalling by hypoxia and AMPK in breast cancer
Developmental pathways such as Notch are known to regulate self-renewal and cell fate decisions in embryonic and adult tissue-specific stem cells, while deregulation of Notch signalling is associated with malignant ... -
Role of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Cancer Cell Survival under Matrix-Deprived Conditions
(2018-07-19)Cancer progression is a multi-step process requiring cells to acquire specific properties that aid the neoplastic growth. One such property is the ability to survive in the absence of matrix-attachment, a critical necessity ... -
Stress Signaling In Development And Carcinogenesis : Role Of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase
(2013-08-05)Rapidly growing tumor cells outgrow their blood supply resulting in a microenvironment with reduced oxygen and nutrients. Using an in vitro transformation model we found that cancer cells expressing the SV40 ST antigen ...
