Wnt signalling and cancer stem cells
(Springer, 2009-07-15)
[Abstract] Intracellular signalling mediated by secreted Wnt proteins is essential for the establishment of cell fates and proper tissue patterning during embryo development and for the regulation of tissue homeostasis and ...
Prostate cancer and Hedgehog signalling pathway
(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, ...
Hedgehog signalling as a target in cancer stem cells
(Spirnger, 2009)
[Abstract] Hedgehog (Hh) is one of the most important signalling pathways. Together with the Wnt, TGF-β/BMP and Notch pathways, it is involved in both embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. This is because Hh ...
Cell and Tissue Transplant Strategies for Joint Lesions
(Bentham Open, 2008-07-11)
[Abstract]
Articular cartilage lesions that do not disrupt the integrity of subchondral bone are not capable of spontaneous repair. The asymptomatic nature of these lesions leads to articular cartilage degeneration and ...
Notch signalling in cancer stem cells
(Springer, 2009)
[Abstract] A new theory about the development of solid tumours is emerging from the idea that solid tumours, like normal adult tissues, contain stem cells (called cancer stem cells) and arise from them. Genetic mutations ...
Origin of renal cell carcinomas
(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 ...
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2): a molecular target in prostate cancer
(Springer, 2007-12-15)
[Abstract] Epidemiological studies provided the first evidence that COX may be involved in the pathogenesis of cancer. In the process of carcinogenesis and in the route of intracellular signalling during carcinogenesis, ...
La ciclooxigenasa-2 (COX-2) y el factor de crecimiento epidérmico (EFG) en lesiones epiteliales orales premalignas
(Sociedad Española de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial (SECOM), 2009)
[Resumen] Las lesiones premalignas orales incluyen eritroplasias (manchas
rojas) y leucoplasias (manchas blancas), las cuales se desarrollan a lo largo de
superficies epiteliales. Estas lesiones son considerados marcadores ...
Tratamiento de lesiones del cartílago articular con terapia celular
(Elsevier, 2008-11-13)
[Resumen] Las lesiones del cartílago articular que no afectan a la integridad del hueso subcondral no se reparan espontáneamente. El carácter asintomático de estas lesiones propicia la progresiva degeneración articular y ...
Biology of BMP signalling and cancer
(Springer, 2009)
[Abstract] In recent years, it has been proposed that tumours are not homogeneous but composed of several cellular types like normal tissues. A cellular subtype, which is though to be the origin of tumours as well as their ...
