Mouse Models as a Tool for Understanding Progression in Braf-Driven Thyroid Cancers [PDF]
The development of next generation sequencing (NGS) has led to marked advancement of our understanding of genetic events mediating the initiation and progression of thyroid cancers. The NGS studies have confirmed the previously reported high frequency of

Expression of Bcl-2-family proteins in peripheral blood B-lymphocytes in patients with cronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a neoplastic disease characterized by the accumulation of morphologically mature monoclonal CD 5+ B cells in the early phase (G0/G1) of the cell cycle.

Review papers The role of KIT gene mutations in pathogenesis of pediatric mastocytosis
Mastocytosis is characterized by excessive proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in skin and/or other organs. Two forms of the disease, cutaneous and systemic mastocytosis, differ significantly in symptomatology and clinical course.

The proto-oncogene SRC phosphorylates cGAS to inhibit an antitumor immune response
Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a DNA sensor and responsible for inducing an antitumor immune response. Recent studies reveal that cGAS is frequently inhibited in cancer, and therapeutic targets to promote antitumor cGAS function remain elusive. SRC is

No detection of c-kit gene mutations in exons 9, 11, 13 and 17 and low CD117 expression in plaque-stage mycosis fungoides [PDF]
: The growth factor receptor c-kit (CD117) is expressed in immature T-cells and in some advanced forms of mycosis fungoides. c-kit gene mutation results in unrestricted neoplastic proliferation.

Dependence of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations on protein shape [PDF]
Membrane proteins typically deform the surrounding lipid bilayer membrane, which can play an important role in the function, regulation, and organization of membrane proteins. Membrane elasticity theory provides a beautiful description of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations, in which all physical parameters can be directly determined from ...

Evaluation of the relationship between c-Kit expression and mean platelet volume in classic Kaposi's sarcoma [PDF]
: Background: c-Kit is a proto-oncogene that encodes tyrosine kinase receptor (CD117). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a useful marker, providing information on platelet function and diameter.
