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 ...
Recent progress in genetics of aging, senescence and longevity: focusing on cancer-related genes
(2012-12)
It is widely believed that aging results from the accumulation of molecular damage, including damage of DNA and mitochondria and accumulation of molecular garbage both inside and outside of the cell. Recently, this paradigm ...
The novel dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BGT226 displays cytotoxic activity in both normoxic and hypoxic hepatocarcinoma cells
(2015-07)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common lethal human malignancies worldwide and its advanced status is frequently resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. We evaluated the cytotoxic ...

(East Carolina University, 2011)
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the causative agent of three cancers: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and the plasmablastic form of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), shares many ...
p53 and NGAL: dual regulatory roles in advanced prostate cancer
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The development of prostate cancer from small regions of hyperplasia to invasive tumors requires genetic and epigenetic alterations of critical cellular components to aid in the development of cells more adapted for aberrant ...
