REV1 Regulates p53 in Response to Starvation

Short-term starvation or fasting can augment cancer treatment efficacy and can be effective in delaying cancer progression in the absence of chemotherapy, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of action remain elusive. Here, we describe the role of ...

Cell division patterns in acute myeloid leukemia stem-like cells determine clinical course: a model to predict patient survival

Acute myeloid leukemia is a heterogeneous disease in which a variety of distinct genetic alterations occur. Recent studies to identify the leukemia stem-like cells (LSCs) have also indicated heterogeneity of these cells. Based on mathematical modeling ...

Estimation of Leukemic Stem Cell Properties

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease in which a variety of distinct genetic alterations might occur. Recent attempts to identify the leukemia stem-like cells (LSC) have also indicated heterogeneity of these cells. On the basis of ma...

Coffee May Cut Melanoma Risk

Drinking coffee is associated with a slightly reduced risk for skin cancer, a new study has found.

p21 ablation in liver enhances DNA damage, cholestasis and carcinogenesis

Genetic mouse studies suggest that the NF-κB pathway regulator NEMO (also known as IKKγ) controls chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis in the liver. However the molecular mechanisms explaining the function of NEMO are not well defined. Here we rep...
