Microenvironment and tumor cells: two targets for new molecular therapies of hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is one of the most frequent human cancer and is characterized by a high mortality rate. The aggressiveness appears strictly related to the liver pathological background on which cancer develops.

Salt-inducible kinases (SIKs) regulate TGFβ-mediated transcriptional and apoptotic responses [PDF]
The signalling pathways initiated by members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) family of cytokines control many metazoan cellular processes, including proliferation and differentiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis. TGFβ

Allogeneic Stem Cells Alter Gene Expression and Improve Healing of Distal Limb Wounds in Horses. [PDF]
Distal extremity wounds are a significant clinical problem in horses and humans and may benefit from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy. This study evaluated the effects of direct wound treatment with allogeneic stem cells, in terms of gross, histologic,

Roles of tumor suppressors in regulating tumor-associated inflammation. [PDF]
Loss or silencing of tumor suppressors (TSs) promotes neoplastic transformation and malignant progression. To date, most work on TS has focused on their cell autonomous effects.

Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFβ1) polymorphisms and breast cancer risk
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) is suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of and in complications with breast cancer (BC). Polymorphisms in TGFβ1 gene (TGFβ1) have been suggested by many investigators to have a role in susceptibility to BC; however, many discordant data have been reported.
