Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathobiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
DownloadFall 2015
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide, largely due to a high frequency of tumor invasion/metastasis, chemoresistance and recurrence. In this study, we explored from different perspectives the molecular mechanisms behind these aggressive features of...

Molecular Characterization of the Tumor and Metastasis Suppressor Activity of Plakoglobin in Mutant p53 Expressing Carcinoma Cells
DownloadFall 2018
Plakoglobin (γ-catenin) is an Armadillo protein family member and a paralog of β-catenin with similar dual cell-cell adhesion and signaling activities. These proteins interact with cadherins at the membrane and mediate cell-cell adhesion. In the cytoplasm, they interact with an array of cellular...

The p53 family of tumor suppressors is an important group of transcription factors preventing the development of cancer by targeting cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis mediator proteins for transcription. The most studied, p53, is frequently inactivated in carcinomas by mutation or genetic...
