• Biology of BMP signalling and cancer 

      Blanco, Moisés; Bolós Fernández, Victoria; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Grande Pulido, Enrique (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 ...
    • Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2): a molecular target in prostate cancer 

      Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Jiménez Fonseca, P.; García Campelo, Rosario; Casinello Espinosa, J.; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (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, ...
    • Expression of Wnt gene family and frizzled receptors in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas 

      Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Blanco, Moisés; López Cedrún, José Luis; Sironvalle Soliva, Sheila; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; García Campelo, Rosario; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Spirnger, 2009)
      [Abstract] Genes of the Wnt and Frizzled class, expressed in HNSCC tissue and cell lines, have an established role in cell morphogenesis and differentiation, and also they have oncogenic properties. We studied Wnt and Fz ...
    • Notch signalling in cancer stem cells 

      Bolós Fernández, Victoria; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Grande Pulido, Enrique (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 

      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 ...
    • 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, ...
    • Tissue array analysis for the differentiation of gliosis from gliomas 

      Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Álvarez García, A.; Aparicio Gallego, Guadalupe; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Rivas López, A.; Santamarina, Isabel; Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Spandidos, 2011-03-22)
      [Abstract] The aim of this study was to provide a methodology to make a clear distinction between malignant tumors and morphologically similar benign processes, by examining the expression of EGFR, VEGF, HIF1-α, survivin, ...
