Absence of p21 Enhances Hepatocarcinogenesis

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 ...

Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of eIF4E reduces breast cancer cell migration, invasion and metastasis

Translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene that is commonly overexpressed in primary breast cancers and metastases. In this report, we report that a pharmacologic inhibitor of eIF4E function, ribavirin, safely and potently suppresses breast tum...

Ribavirin, eIF4E, and Breast Cancer Metastasis

The translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene that is commonly overexpressed in primary breast cancers and metastases. In this article, we report that a pharmacologic inhibitor of eIF4E function, ribavirin, safely and potently suppresses brea...

Cancer Stem Cells: Targeting the Roots of Cancer, Seeds of Metastasis, and Sources of Therapy Resistance

With the goal to remove the roots of cancer, eliminate metastatic seeds, and overcome therapy resistance, the 2014 inaugural International Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) Conference at Cleveland, OH, convened together over 320 investigators, including 55 invite...
