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...

Delineating the biology of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and its resistance to crizotinib
DownloadFall 2017
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase receptor that was initially identified as a potent oncogenic driver in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) in the form of NPM-ALK fusion protein. Various forms of oncogenic ALK proteins have been identified, subsequently, in various...

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...

Within a tumour, only a subset of cells are able to initiate neoplasms when transplanted or following localization to different organs. These tumour-initiating cells, often called cancer stem cells (CSCs) due to their high cellular plasticity, were found to exhibit particular resistance to...

Background: The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory suggests there are small populations of cancer cells that has stem cell-like characteristics, such as self-renewal. These CSCs are thought to be responsible for initiating new tumors following metastasis. Platelets have also been implicated in cancer...
