RAS Drives Drug Resistance and Tumor Evolution in Shh Tumors

Aberrant Shh signaling promotes tumor growth in diverse cancers. The importance of Shh signaling is particularly evident in medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), where inhibitors targeting the Shh pathway component Smoothened (Smo) show great...

IL6/JAK1/STAT3 signaling blockade in endometrial cancer affects the ALDHHICD126+-like component and reduces tumor burden

Cancer stem-like cells (CSC) may be critical to maintain the malignant behavior of solid and hematopoietic cancers. Recently, endometrial cancer patients whose tumors expressed high levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), a detoxifying enzyme characte...

Proteolysis of EphA2 converts it from a tumor suppressor to an oncoprotein

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases are considered candidate therapeutic targets in cancer, but they can exert opposing effects on cell growth. In presence of its ligands, Eph receptor EphA2 suppresses signaling by other growth factor receptors, including Er...

IL6 Signaling in Endometrial Cancer Stem Cells

Cancer stem–like cells (CSC) may be critical to maintain the malignant behavior of solid and hematopoietic cancers. Recently, patients with endometrial cancer whose tumors expressed high levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), a detoxifying enzyme c...

Proteolytic Regulation of EphA2 by MT1-MMP

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases are considered candidate therapeutic targets in cancer, but they can exert opposing effects on cell growth. In the presence of its ligands, Eph receptor EphA2 suppresses signaling by other growth factor receptors, includin...
