Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1429-1452, June 2026.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Are Communicable Diseases Only Communicable?

, 2021
For half a century, the so-called epidemiological transition model has guided the interpretation of mortality data. Based on long-term trends in morbidity, it focuses on declining mortality from communicable diseases and the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases (primarily cancer and cardiovascular diseases).
