1. TGFβ and LXR signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract : Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancer types in the Western world and in the Asia-pacific regions, with its incidence expected to rise up to 22 million cases till 2020. Hepatocellular carcinoma etiology is mainly due to hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) infections, and to a lesser extent it is determined by the development of alcohol-driven cirrhosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

2. Regulation of cellular plasticity and extracellular vesicle secretion in breast cancer
Abstract : Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic process controlling the transition of cells between epithelial and mesenchymal states in various physiological or pathological conditions. In cancer, EMT promotes cell dissemination and metastatic colonization, enriches tumors with stem cell populations and confers resistance to anticancer therapy. READ MORE

3. Role of syndecan-1 in tumor cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity
Abstract : Syndecan-1 (SDC1) is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) intercalated in the cell membrane but also translocated to the cell nucleus in a regulated manner. SDC1 is involved in several malignancy-associated processes such as proliferation and migration. READ MORE

4. Genome-plasticity and adaption in Helicobacter pylori
Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is a gastric bacterial pathogen that infects an estimated half. of the human population. The infection is primarily acquired during early childhood and causes a persistent infection that is usually not eradicated by the host immune system. Although most infected individuals. READ MORE

5. Plasticity of the dopamine1 receptor and its signaling pathway
Abstract : Dopamine 1 receptor (D1R) belongs to the G protein coupled receptor superfamily with seven transmembrane domains. Previous studies from our laboratory showed that D1R availability in the plasma membrane of renal epithelial cells is dynamically regulated by the dopaminergic tonus. Here, we *examined the availability of D1R in the brain. READ MORE
