      [Abstract] Background. The deregulation of microRNAs in both tumours and blood has led to the search for microRNAs to indicate the presence of cancer and predict prognosis. We hypothesize the deregulation of miR-200c/miR-141 ...
    • Clinical implications of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer progression 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Blanco, Moisés; Castosa, Raquel; Concha, Ángel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Calvo, Lourdes; Figueroa, Angélica (Elsevier, 2015)
      [Abstract] In the last few years, the role of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer biology research has gained increasing attention. This concept refers to the ability of the epithelial cells to dynamically switch between ...

      [Abstract] Background. Detection of isolated tumour cells (ITC) in the blood or minimal deposits in distant organs such as bone marrow (BM) could be important to identify breast cancer patients at high risk of relapse or ...
    • Fructose transporter Glut5 expression in clear renal cell carcinoma 

      Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Valbuena Ruvira, L.; García Campelo, R.; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Grande Pulido, Enrique; Bolós Fernández, Victoria; Santamarina, Isabel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Spandidos, 2010-12-10)
      [Abstract] Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) can be subclassified for general purposes into clear cell, papillary cell, chromophobe cell carcinomas and oncocytomas. Other tumours such as collecting duct, medullary, mucinous ...
    • Glucose transporter expression and the potential role of fructose in renal cell carcinoma: a correlation with pathological parameters 

      Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Blanco, Moisés; Valbuena Ruvira, L.; Rois, José Manuel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; García Campelo, Rosario; Bolós Fernández, Victoria; Grande Pulido, Enrique (Spandidos, 2010-07-01)
      [Abstract] All mammalian cells contain one or more members of the facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) gene family. Glucose transporter membrane proteins (GLUT) regulate the movement of glucose between the extracellular ...
    • Multiple biomarker tissue arrays: a computational approach to identifying protein-protein interactions in the EGFR/ERK signalling pathway 

      Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Santamarina, Isabel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (BioMed Central, 2012-09-01)
      [Abstract] Background. Many studies have demonstrated genetic and environmental factors that lead to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and that occur during a protracted period of tumourigenesis. It appears suitable to identify ...
    • 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 ...
