Roles of Twist1 in lipid and glucose metabolism
AbstractThe abnormal lipid and glucose metabolisms are linked to the metabolic disorders, tumorigenesis, and fibrotic diseases, which attracts the increasing attention to find out the key molecules involved in the lipid and glucose metabolism as the possible therapeutic targets on these diseases. A transcriptional factor Twist1 has been associated with

Reactivation of TWIST1 contributes to Ewing sarcoma metastasis [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundEwing sarcoma is a cancer of bone and soft tissue. Despite aggressive treatment, survival remains poor, particularly in patients with metastatic disease. Failure to treat Ewing sarcoma is due to the lack of understanding of the molecular pathways that regulate metastasis.

TWIST1 hypermethylation is observed in pancreatic cancer
Despite the growing evidence demonstrating that TWIST1 is a noteworthy tumor biomarker, little is known about the clinical significance of TWIST1 methylation in human primary pancreatic cancer. In the present study, the association of TWIST1 methylation with clinicopathological characteristics was examined in human primary pancreatic cancer.

Enhanced expression of the stemness-related factors OCT4, SOX15 and TWIST1 in ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients [PDF]
Background Current evidence suggests that endometrial-derived stem cells, spilled in the peritoneal cavity via retrograde menstruation, are key players in the establishment of endometriotic lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the presence and
