The Emerging Role of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/ Akt/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling Network in Cancer Stem Cell Biology
(2010-08)The cancer stem cell theory entails the existence of a hierarchically organized, rare population of cells which are responsible for tumor initiation, self-renewal/maintenance, and mutation accumulation. The cancer stem ... -
GSK-3 as potential target for therapeutic intervention in cancer
(2014-05)The serine/threonine kinase glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) was initially identified and studied in the regulation of glycogen synthesis. GSK-3 functions in a wide range of cellular processes. Aberrant activity of GSK-3 ... -
Inhibition of Cdk2 kinase activity selectively targets the CD44/CD24 stem-like subpopulation and restores chemosensitivity of SUM149PT triple-negative breast cancer cells
(2014-09)Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an angioinvasive and most aggressive type of advanced breast cancer characterized by rapid proliferation, chemoresistance, early metastatic development and poor prognosis. IBC tumors ... -
The Role of Pre-Replication Complex Proteins in Drosophila Ovarian Stem Cell Maintenance and Proliferation
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Cancer stem cells (CSCs) may hold the key to advances in cancer research. Like adult tissue-specific stem cells, CSCs are able to self-renew and last a lifetime. These shared characteristics can thus be used to help learn ...
