1. Identification and investigations of leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains protein 2 (LRIG2)
Abstract : Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) constitute a family of proteins controlling cell growth and proliferation and whose activities are tightly controlled in normal cells. LRIG1 is a negative regulator of RTK signaling and is a proposed tumor suppressor. The aim of this thesis was to identify and study possible paralogs of LRIG1. READ MORE

2. Preoperative MRI and PET in suspected low-grade gliomas : Radiological, neuropathological and clinical intersections
Abstract : Background: Gliomas are neuroepithelial tumours classified by cell type and grade. In adults, low-grade gliomas are comprised mainly of astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas grade II. READ MORE

3. Metabolomics and proteomics studies of brain tumors : a chemometric bioinformatics approach
Abstract : The WHO classification of brain tumors is based on histological features and the aggressiveness of the tumor is classified from grade I to IV, where grade IV is the most aggressive. Today, the correlation between prognosis and tumor grade is the most important component in tumor classification. READ MORE

5. The expression and molecular functions of LRIG proteins in cancer and psoriasis
Abstract : The leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains (LRIG) family consists of three integral membrane proteins that are important in human cancer. LRIG1 is a negative regulator of growth factor signaling. Its expression is associated with longer survival in several cancer types, and the gene has been shown to function as a tumor suppressor.
