1. Behind the scenes of thyroid tumors : underlying genetic mechanisms
Abstract : Thyroid cancer is the most frequently observed malignancy involving endocrine tissues. This group of diseases is also the major cause of death related to neoplasia of the endocrine system. Tumors in the thyroid gland are common in the general population and the majority represents benign follicular adenoma (FTA). READ MORE

2. Transposable Elements in Neural Progenitor Cells
Abstract : More than 90% of DNA does not code for proteins and for a long time these sequences were referred to as “junk DNA” due to their unknown purpose. With the advent of new technologies it is now known, that the non-coding part of the genome is of great importance for regulating gene expression and is therefore indispensable. READ MORE

3. An RNA story, from chromatin to protein
Abstract : RNA functions expand well over just coding for protein effectors. Non-coding RNAs oversee translation, RNA processing, and spatial organization of the cellular space, therefore participating in the regulation of almost any cellular process. To add a further layer of complexity, both coding and non-coding RNAs are extensively modified. READ MORE

4. Molecular aspects of parathyroid tumorigenesis : with focus on parafibromin and the Wnt pathway
Abstract : Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) denotes the tumorous enlargement of one or several parathyroid glands and constitutes a common disorder, particularly pronounced among postmenopausal women. PHPT patients display hypercalcemia as a consequence of parathyroid hormone hypersecretion, and the symptomatology is habitually based on this metabolic aberrancy. READ MORE

5. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of action of anti-cancer compounds reveals possible combination strategies for anti-cancer therapy
Abstract : Cancer develops due to accumulation of mutations or epigenetic changes within normal cells, usually over a considerable period of time. When cancer patients are diagnosed at late stage, the tumor cells are often more heterogenous and aggressive, which results in tumor resistance to anti-cancer therapies and therefore can be lethal.
