Upregulated miR-155 in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Promotes Tumor Growth by Targeting APC and Activating Wnt/{beta}-Catenin Signaling 6 Aug 2013 | 10:01 pm
Context: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are strongly implicated in many cancers, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), which is the most common malignancy in thyroid tissue. Recently, miRNA-155 (miR-155) ...
Development of p21 Activated Kinase-Targeted Multikinase Inhibitors That Inhibit Thyroid Cancer Cell Migration 6 Aug 2013 | 10:01 pm
Context: The p21 activated kinases (PAKs) are a family of serine/threonine kinases that are downstream effectors of small GTPase Cdc42 and Rac. PAKs regulate cell motility, proliferation, and cytoske...
The Rise of Soluble TWEAK Levels in Severely Obese Subjects After Bariatric Surgery May Affect Adipocyte-Cytokine Production Induced by TNF{alpha} 6 Aug 2013 | 10:01 pm
Context: Soluble TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) is generated by the intracellular proteolytic cleavage of full-length membrane-bound TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (mTWEAK). sTWEAK l...
Down-Regulation of miR-218-2 and Its Host Gene SLIT3 Cooperate to Promote Invasion and Progression of Thyroid Cancer 6 Aug 2013 | 10:01 pm
Context: The functional relationships between intronic microRNAs (miRNAs) and their host genes in thyroid cancer remain unclear. miR-218, a miRNA down-regulated in several kinds of cancers and associ...
