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...

Novel Insights into the Role of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase in Glioblastoma Angiogenesis, Invasion, and Proliferation
DownloadFall 2012
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aberrant angiogenesis, rapid proliferation, and widespread invasion through the brain parenchyma. Thus, the prognosis for these tumors remains extremely poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent...

Regulation of collagen type I production by ionizing radiation and transforming growth factor-β1 in primary human skin fibroblasts derived from early stage breast cancer patients in relation to acute radiation-induced toxicity
DownloadFall 2011
Regulation of collagen type I (CI) in fibroblasts is critical for the onset and development of skin toxicities induced by radiation therapy (RT). Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promote CI synthesis, while its degradation is modulated by...
