    • Origin of renal cell carcinomas 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Jiménez Fonseca, P.; García Campelo, Rosario; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Springer, 2008-11-28)
      [Abstract] Cancer is a heritable disorder of somatic cells: environment and heredity are both important in the carcinogenic process. The primal force is the “two hits” of Knudson’s hypothesis, which has proved true for ...
    • Posttranscriptional regulation by RNA-binding proteins during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Abella Cajigal, Vanessa; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Figueroa, Angélica (Springer, 2013-05-29)
      [Abstract] Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), one of the crucial steps for carcinoma cells to acquire invasive capacity, results from the disruption of cell–cell contacts and the acquisition of a motile mesenchymal ...
    • Prognostic impact of disseminated tumor cells and microRNA-17-92 cluster deregulation in gastrointestinal cancer 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Blanco, Moisés; Haz, Mar; Medina, Vanessa; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Reboredo, Margarita; Santamarina, Isabel; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Calvo, Lourdes (Spandidos, 2011-07-04)
      [Abstract] The presence of tumor cells in the bone marrow (BM) could be relevant to identifying high risk of disease progression and death in gastrointestinal cancer. However, the molecular profile associated with disseminated ...
    • Prostate cancer and Hedgehog signalling pathway 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; García Campelo, Rosario; Casinello Espinosa, J.; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Reboredo, Margarita; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe (Springer, 2007-08-02)
      [Abstract] The Hedgehog (Hh) family of intercellular signalling proteins have come to be recognised as key mediators in many fundamental processes in embryonic development. Their activities are central to the growth, ...
    • Relevant networks involving the p53 signalling pathway in renal cell carcinoma 

      Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Santamarina, Isabel; Valbuena Ruvira, L.; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Master Publishing Group, 2011)
      [Abstract] Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer. A better understanding of the critical pathways and interactions associated with alterations in renal function and renal tumour ...
    • Role of the microtubule-targeting drug vinflunine on cell-cell adhesions in bladder epithelial tumour cells 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Castosa, Raquel; Haz, Mar; Rodríguez, Marta; Blanco, Moisés; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Figueroa, Angélica (BioMed Central, 2014-07-10)
      [Abstract] Background. Vinflunine (VFL) is a microtubule-targeting drug that suppresses microtubule dynamics, showing anti-metastatic properties both in vitro and in living cancer cells. An increasing body of evidence ...
    • Searching for Hif1-α interacting proteins in renal cell carcinoma 

      Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Santamarina, Isabel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Springer para Federation of Spanish Oncology Sociesties (FESEO), 2012-08-28)
      [Abstract] Introduction. Kidney tumours are frequently characterised by hypoxic conditions due to a local imbalance between oxygen (O2) supply and consumption. Hif1-α regulates angiogenesis, tumour growth, tumour progression, ...
    • State of the art in silico tools for the study of signaling pathways in cancer 

      Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Santamarina, Isabel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (MDPI, 2012-05-29)
      [Abstract] In the last several years, researchers have exhibited an intense interest in the evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways that have crucial roles during embryonic development. Interestingly, the malfunctioning ...
