[eng] BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant clinical challenge due to its complex vascular abnormalities and the regulatory mechanisms underlying tumor progression. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a ...
Recentment s’han descrit els receptors de dopamina per la seva implicació en càncer i la seva potencial inhibició com a mecanisme antitumoral. Al present treball s’ha ampliat aquesta recerca a la LLA-T, una malaltia amb ...
[eng] Cohen syndrome (CS) is an ultra-rare, multi-system, autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the VPS13B gene on chromosome 8q22.2. The most characteristic clinical features of this disorder are microcephaly, ...
The oncolytic viruses (OVs) preferentially infect tumor and selectively replicate in cancer cells without harming normal tissues. OVs have been tested in clinical trials as monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy, ...
En múltiples tipos tumorales, SERPINA E1 se asocia con una peor evolución clínica de los pacientes. En el carcinoma escamoso de cabeza y cuello (CECC), el aumento del nivel de expresión de SERPINA E1 por parte de las células ...
Tumor-stroma crosstalk is essential for PDAC formation. Therefore, the stroma, and specifically the carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), are the target of therapeutic alternatives to treat highly desmoplastic tumors ...
Tumours grow in a self-imposed hypoglycaemic microenvironment due to their exacerbated metabolic needs. To thrive in these harsh conditions, malignant cells must adapt their own metabolic routes and hijack the host nutrient ...
El càncer colorectal (CCR) és una neoplàsia molt freqüent que causa una elevada mortalitat arreu del món. Els fàrmacs més utilitzats en el seu maneig són quimioteràpics (fluoropirimidines, oxaliplatí i irinotecan), agents ...
[spa] Alrededor del 10% de los pacientes con cáncer colorrectal metastático (mCRC) presentan la mutación BRAF(V600E), mutación que está asociada a una peor respuesta al tratamiento estándar con agentes quimioterapéuticos ...
La mayoría de los carcinomas escamosos de piel (cSCCs) se tratan con éxito mediante escisión quirúrgica. Sin embargo, el 5-8% de los casos desarrollan recurrencias, las cuales están asociadas a un crecimiento agresivo, ...
Despite the latest advances in early diagnosis and increased resources employed to develop new therapeutic options, effective control of cancer disease remains a challenge. In fact, cancer is the second leading cause of ...
Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-β ligand (RANKL) and its receptor RANK are key mediators of bone resorption1,2. RANKL, its receptor RANK and its natural decoy receptor OPG, which is a competitive inhibitor that ...
[spa] El virus del papiloma humano (VPH) es el agente causal de múltiples cánceres ginecológicos, incluyendo el cáncer de vulva (VSCC). Si bien la infección por VPH es necesaria para el desarrollo de estas neoplasias, no ...
Polycomb proteins are important epigenetic regulators involved in the maintenance of stemness and differentiation. In this thesis, I focused on the role of some Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) components. On the one ...
[spa] El cáncer de mama es el tumor más frecuentemente diagnosticado en mujeres y entre sus diversos subtipos, en esta tesis, nos centraremos particularmente en el cáncer de mama HER2+. Esta patología se caracteriza por ...
HDAC11 is the newest member of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) family and one of the less studied. Its expression was described to be enriched in skeletal muscle tissues from the first moment of its discovery, yet now after ...
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common types of cancer in the Western World and accounts for over 700,000 deaths every year worldwide. The prognosis is dismal, with an average 5-year survival rate of less than 20%, ...
In most human cancers, the c-Myc transcription factor is deregulated and/or its levels are elevated, particularly in colorectal cancer (CRC). Earlier studies suggested a direct relationship between ribosome biogenesis and ...
Evidencias recientes han mostrado que los tumores sólidos pediátricos, incluidos el neuroblastoma y el meduloblastoma, albergan una baja cantidad de mutaciones genéticas recurrentes, pero presentan una proporción significativa ...
[eng] Endometrial cancer represents the most common cancer arising from the uterine cavity and there is little hope for patients with recurrent or metastatic disease. Prior studies of our group reported autophagy pathway ...
