FAK acts as a suppressor of RTK-MAP kinase signalling in Drosophila melanogaster epithelia and human cancer cells [PDF]
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) and Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) regulate multiple signalling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. FAK interacts with several RTKs but little is known about how FAK regulates their downstream

Risk factors analysis for BRAF gene V600E mutation in patients with infiltrative follicular papillary thyroid carcinoma [PDF]
Objective To investigate the risk factors for BRAF gene V600E mutation in patients with infiltrative follicular papillary thyroid carcinoma (IF-PTC). Methods A total of 134 patients with IF-PTC who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from August

Ras-mediated phosphorylation of a conserved threonine residue enhances the transactivation activities of c-Ets1 and c-Ets2 [PDF]
The Ras oncogene products regulate the expression of genes in transformed cells, and members of the Ets family of transcription factors have been implicated in this process.

Molecular docking investigation of cytotoxic phenanthrene derivatives
Our previous experimental work indicated that the presence of ester functionality in phenanthrene derivatives D-1 and D-2 leads to potent cytotoxicity against the Caco-2 cell line. The present work is based on th-is experimental result.

Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of melanoma initiation and progression [PDF]
Melanoma is a malignant tumour of melanocytes, which can spread to other organs of the body resulting in severe and/or lethal malignancies. Melanocytes are pigment producing cells found in deep layer of the epidermis and are originated from melanocytes ...

Contribution of the R-Ras2 GTP-binding protein to primary breast tumorigenesis and late-stage metastatic disease [PDF]
R-Ras2 is a transforming GTPase that shares downstream effectors with Ras subfamily proteins. However, little information exists about the function of this protein in tumorigenesis and its signalling overlap with classical Ras GTPases.

Preferential expression of the transcription coactivator HTIF1alpha gene in acute myeloid leukemia and MDS-related AML [PDF]
HTIF1α, a transcription coactivator which is able to mediate RARα activity and functionally interact with PML, is encoded by a gene on chromosome 7q32–34, which is a critical region in acute myeloid leukemias (AML). With the assumption that this gene may
