The kinesin-13 family member 2C (KIF2C) is a versatile protein participating in many biological processes. KIF2C is frequently up-regulated in multiple types of cancer and is associated with cancer development...
Lovastatin, an HMG-CoA inhibitor and an effective cholesterol lowering drug, exhibits anti-neoplastic activity towards several types of cancer, although the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. ...
Recurrence and metastases are still frequent outcomes after initial tumour control in women diagnosed with breast cancer. Although therapies are selected based on tumour characteristics measured at baseline, p...
Colorectal cancer survivors often experience decline in physical performance and poor quality of life after surgery and during adjuvant therapies. In these patients, preserving skeletal muscle mass and high-qu...
Nonerythrocytic spectrin beta 1 (SPTBN1) is an important cytoskeletal protein that involves in normal cell growth and development via regulating TGFβ/Smad signaling pathway, and is aberrantly expressed in vari...
Talin-1 as a component of multi-protein adhesion complexes plays a role in tumor formation and migration in various malignancies. This study investigated Talin-1 in protein levels as a potential prognosis biom...
As a common malignant tumor, esophageal carcinoma (ESCA) has a low early diagnosis rate and poor prognosis. This study aimed to construct the prognostic features composed of ZNF family genes to effectively pre...
Physical activity and BMI have been individually associated with cancer survivorship but have not yet been studied in combinations in colorectal cancer patients. Here, we investigate individual and combined as...
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) is the modality of choice in the imaging of ovarian cancer (OC). We aimed to investigate the feasibility of different types of regions of interest (ROIs) in th...
We have previously reported that Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) acts as a suppressor gene for breast cancer initiation and progression. In this study, we evaluated the role of TLR3 in breast cancer using our origina...
