Lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 expression in cancer cells attenuates tumor growth and metastasis in mice
Download2014
Dewald, Jay, Santos, Webster L., Patwardhan, Neeraj, Zhao, Yuan Y., McMullen, Todd P. W., Curtis, Jonathan M., Brindley, David N., Tang, Xiaoyun, Benesch, Matthew G. K.
Lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 (LPP1) degrades lysophosphatidate (LPA) and attenuates receptor-mediated signaling. LPP1 expression is low in many cancer cells and tumors compared with normal tissues. It was hypothesized from studies with cultured cells that increasing LPP1 activity would decrease...

Living at-Risk for Hereditary Breast Cancer: The Experiences of at-Risk Unaffected Women Who Live in Families Where a BRCA Gene Mutation Could Not be Found
DownloadSpring 2016
Harmful mutations in the breast cancer 1 and 2 genes (BRCA1/2) and other breast cancer susceptibility genes are thought to account for less than 30% of familial breast cancer cases. Many affected women (those with a personal history of breast and/or ovarian cancer) who undergo BRCA1/2 genetic...

MOLECULAR AND PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF DISTINCT BREAST CANCER CELL SUBPOPULATIONS PURIFIED USING A SOX2 REGULATORY REGION 2 TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVITY REPORTER
DownloadFall 2015
Sex-determining Region Y-box 2 (Sox2) is a transcription factor integral to the maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. In recent years, Sox2 expression has been detected and implicated in the pathogenesis of breast and other cancers. Clinically, Sox2 expression has been associated...

Tubulin is the target for very widely used anti-tumor drugs, including Vinca alkaloids, taxanes, and epothilones, which are an important component of chemotherapy in breast cancer and other malignancies. Paclitaxel and other tubulin-targeting drugs bind to the β subunit of tubulin, which is a...

Taxanes are used for the treatment of breast, ovarian, and lung cancer. Unfortunately, taxane based therapy—the current treatment for metastatic breast cancer—has substantial shortcomings including myelosupression, neurotoxicity, and frequently acquired resistance. Our present understanding of...

I have conducted a single-case heuristic study of my engagement with breast cancer and how the collective pressure to think positively affected me. I explore the shadow, or the unrecognized significance, that positive thinking placed upon my healing process. I argue that the tacit implication...
