Context.— Intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B (IND B) is a complex entity involving the enteric nervous system, clinically manifested with constipation in infancy. Diagnosis has been established by histopathologic analysis of rectal biopsies. However, the criteria for the diagnosis have been questioned and modified,

The importance of PTEN in cellular function is underscored by the frequency of its deregulation in cancer. PTEN tumor-suppressor activity depends largely on its lipid phosphatase activity, which opposes PI3K/AKT activation. As such, PTEN regulates many cellular processes, including proliferation, survival, energy metabolism, cellular architecture, and ...

Oncogenic microRNA-4534 regulates PTEN pathway in prostate cancer. [PDF]
Prostate carcinogenesis involves alterations in several signaling pathways, the most prominent being the PI3K/AKT pathway. This pathway is constitutively active and drives prostate cancer (PCa) progression to advanced metastatic disease. PTEN, a critical

PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex [PDF]
PTEN controls three-dimensional (3D) glandular morphogenesis by coupling juxtamembrane signalling to mitotic spindle machinery. While molecular mechanisms remain unclear, PTEN interacts through its C2 membrane-binding domain with the scaffold protein β ...

PTEN and p53 Combined Gene Therapy Promote Apoptosis and Chemosensitivity to Oxaliplatin in Colorectal Cancer: An In Vitro Study [PDF]
Purpose: Cancer is a complex condition and gene therapy has evolved as a promising method for cancer treatment. Studies have demonstrated that PTEN and p53 proteins have remarkable antitumor effects but combined up-regulation of both PTEN and p53 genes ...

Regulatory role of PTEN and microRNA-141 in papillary thyroid cancer
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-141 in lymphatic fluid, lymph node and tumor tissues of patients with papillary thyroid cancers (PTC), and its regulating mechanism on tumor infiltration and invasion.

Targeted next-generation sequencing of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma in the skull base reveals combined TP53 and PTEN mutations with increased proliferation index, an implication for pathogenesis [PDF]
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) is a rare disease with a dismal prognosis. DDCS consists of two morphologically distinct components: the cartilaginous and noncartilaginous components.

Prognostic Significance of PD-L1 and PTEN Expression in Prostatic Cancer [PDF]
Background: Programmed death- ligand 1(PD-L1) acts as an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a somatically mutated tumor suppressor gene in numerous types of human cancer. The current study aimed to assess the prognostic
