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.

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.

High-Resolution Three-Dimensional NMR Structure Of The KRAS Proto-Oncogene Promoter Reveals Key Features Of A G-Quadruplex Involved In Transcriptional Regulation [PDF]
Non-canonical base pairing within guanine-rich DNA and RNA sequences can produce G-quartets, whose stacking leads to the formation of a G-quadruplex (G4).

BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase sustained MECOM expression in chronic myeloid leukaemia [PDF]
MECOM oncogene expression correlates with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) progression. Here we show that the knockdown of MECOM (E) and MECOM (ME) isoforms reduces cell division at low cell density, inhibits colony-forming cells by 34% and moderately ...

Maternal recognition of pregnancy in the horse : are MicroRNAs the secret messengers? [PDF]
The signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP) has still not been identified in the horse. High-throughput molecular biology at the embryo-maternal interface has substantially contributed to the knowledge on pathways affected during MRP, but an ...
