Hedgehog signaling pathway and gastric cancer [PDF]
Hedgehog, WNT, FGF and BMP signaling pathways network together during embryogenesis, tissue regeneration, and carcinogenesis. Aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling pathway leads to pathological consequences in a variety of human tumors, such as gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Activation of the hedgehog pathway in advanced prostate cancer
Background The hedgehog pathway plays a critical role in the development of prostate. However, the role of the hedgehog pathway in prostate cancer is not clear. Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cause of cancer death in American men. Therefore,

Neurotrophic Effects of Intermittent Fasting, Calorie Restriction and Exercise: A Review and Annotated Bibliography [PDF]
In the last decades, important progress has been achieved in the understanding of the neurotrophic effects of intermittent fasting (IF), caloric restriction (CR) and exercise. Improved neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity and adult neurogenesis (NSPAN) are essential examples of these neurotrophic effects. The importance in this respect of the metabolic

Modelling and Analysis of Biochemical Signalling Pathway Cross-talk [PDF]
Signalling pathways are abstractions that help life scientists structure the coordination of cellular activity. Cross-talk between pathways accounts for many of the complex behaviours exhibited by signalling pathways and is often critical in producing the correct signal-response relationship.

Hedgehog signaling pathway and its targets for treatment in basal cell carcinoma [PDF]
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin is the most common type of cancer, and accounts for up to 40% of all cancers in the United States with a growing incidence rate in the last decades in all developed countries.

The role of Hedgehog and Notch signaling pathway in cancer
AbstractNotch and Hedgehog signaling are involved in cancer biology and pathology, including the maintenance of tumor cell proliferation, cancer stem-like cells, and the tumor microenvironment. Given the complexity of Notch signaling in tumors, its role as both a tumor promoter and suppressor, and the crosstalk between pathways, the goal of developing ...

Maintenance of Taste Organs Is Strictly Dependent on Epithelial Hedgehog/GLI Signaling. [PDF]
For homeostasis, lingual taste papilla organs require regulation of epithelial cell survival and renewal, with sustained innervation and stromal interactions.

Techniques of Model Reductions in Biochemical Cell Signaling Pathways [PDF]
There are many mathematical models of biochemical cell signaling pathways that contain a large number of elements (species and reactions). This is sometimes a big issue for identifying critical model elements and describing the model dynamics. Thus, techniques of model reduction can be used as a mathematical tool in order to minimize the number of ...

PINNet: a deep neural network with pathway prior knowledge for Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Identification of Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related transcriptomic signatures from blood is important for early diagnosis of the disease. Deep learning techniques are potent classifiers for AD diagnosis, but most have been unable to identify biomarkers because of their lack of interpretability.

Inhibition of Hedgehog-dependent tumors and cancer stem cells by a newly identified naturally occurring chemotype [PDF]
Hedgehog (Hh) inhibitors have emerged as valid tools in the treatment of a wide range of cancers. Indeed, aberrant activation of the Hh pathway occurring either by ligand-dependent or -independent mechanisms is a key driver in tumorigenesis.
