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 ... -
Investigations on the Possible Role of Aromatic β-Glucoside Metabolism in Self-Defense in Enterobacteriaceae
(2018-04-02)Bacteria are ubiquitous in all ecosystems and are often challenged by multiple stresses such as extreme temperatures, high salt concentrations, nutrient limitation, pH variations, radiation, predation and the presence of ... -
Moonlighting Functions of the Rv0805 Phosphodiesterase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-18)All organisms must sense and respond to their environment in order to survive. The processes that allow a living cell to sense changes in its environment, and respond appropriately are collectively referred to as ‘signal ... -
Primary Microcephaly Gene MCPH1 Shows Signatures of Tumor Suppressors and is Regulated by miR-27a in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(2018-04-03)Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a congenital neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by a reduced occipital-frontal head circumference (OFC) of less than -3 SDs below the population mean for age and ... -
Regulation of Chitin Oligosaccharides Utilization in Escherichia Coli
(2018-04-11)The genome of Escherichia coli harbors several catabolic operons involved in the utilization of a wide variety of natural compounds as carbon sources. The chitobiose (chu) operons of E.coli Is involved in the utilization ... -
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 ... -
Unfolding the Mechanism of Notch1 Receptor Activation : Implications in Cancer Stem Cell Targeting
(2018-05-01)Notch receptors and ligands are single-pass transmembrane proteins which play important roles in cell-cell communication. Notch in ‘harmony’ with other signaling pathways regulate the entire diversity of metazoan life ...
