1. Signaling pathways and novel genetic factors involved in modulation of cisplatin response in C. elegans
Abstract : Cancer is a major cause of mortality throughout the world. Despite the effort of the scientific community, plenty remains to understand about the biology or genetics of cancer. In solid tumors often as many as 90-99% of all cells are non-dividing. READ MORE

3. Insulin secretion and ASNA-1-dependent function of the endoplasmic reticulum in C. elegans
Abstract : ASNA1 is a well-conserved ATPase involved in a wide range of functions, including cisplatin resistance, growth control, insulin secretion and targeting of tail-anchored (TA) proteins to membranes. It is a positive regulator of insulin secretion both in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and in humans. READ MORE
