mRNA markers associated with malignant pleural effusion
Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) commonly result from malignant tumors and represent advanced-stage cancers. Thus, in clinical practice, early recognition of MPE is valuable.

Regulation of the Ras‐GTPase activating protein neurofibromin by C‐tail phosphorylation: implications for protein kinase C/Ras/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 1/2 pathway signaling and neuronal differentiation [PDF]
AbstractPKC, Ras, and ERK1/2 signaling is pivotal to differentiation along the neuronal cell lineage. One crucial protein that may play a central role in this signaling pathway is the Ras GTPase‐activating protein, neurofibromin, a PKC substrate that may exert a positive role in neuronal differentiation.

The 9th International RASopathies Symposium
ABSTRACT The RASopathies are a group of congenital disorders with overlapping clinical manifestations that are caused by pathogenic germline or early somatic variants that result in the hyperactivation of the RAS/mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.

NF1 deficiency drives metabolic reprogramming in ER+ breast cancer
Objective: NF1 is a tumor suppressor gene and its protein product, neurofibromin, is a negative regulator of the RAS pathway. NF1 is one of the top driver mutations in sporadic breast cancer such that 27 % of breast cancers exhibit damaging NF1 ...

The chaperone TRAP1 as a modulator of the mitochondrial adaptations in cancer cells [PDF]
Mitochondria can receive, integrate, and transmit a variety of signals to shape many biochemical activities of the cell. In the process of tumor onset and growth, mitochondria contribute to the capability of cells of escaping death insults, handling ...

ABSTRACT A comprehensive synthesis of the broad range of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric manifestations in NF1 is needed to identify knowledge gaps and future directions for NF1 research. In the following scoping review, we identify and summarize the scope of research that examines neurodevelopmental and psychiatric manifestations, both as ...

Is There an Independent Role of TERT and NF1 in High Grade Gliomas?
BACKGROUND: High grade glioma molecular profiling is of particular interest in neurooncology. The role of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) varies dependent upon other molecular parameters.

Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Clinically aggressive central giant cell granulomas in two patients with neurofibromatosis 1 [PDF]
Background Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder caused by a spectrum of mutations affecting the Nf1 gene. Affected patients develop benign and malignant tumors at an increased frequency.
