Phenoty** normal kidney function in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional multicentre study
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) accelerates the decline in glomerular function; however, some individuals do not develop chronic kidney disease despite advanced age and long-lasting T2D. We aimed to phenotype patients w...

hMENA11a contributes to HER3-mediated resistance to PI3K inhibitors in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells
Human Mena (hMENA), an actin regulatory protein of the ENA/VASP family, cooperates with ErbB receptor family signaling in breast cancer. It is overexpressed in high-risk preneoplastic lesions and in primary br...

TAZ is required for metastatic activity and chemoresistance of breast cancer stem cells
Metastatic growth in breast cancer (BC) has been proposed as an exclusive property of cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, formal proof of their identity as cells of origin of recurrences at distant sites and th...

Open AccessInhibition of p85, the non-catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, exerts potent antitumor activity in human breast cancer cells
The phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are heterodimers consisting of the catalytic subunit p110 and the regulatory subunit p85. The PI3K/Akt pathway is strongly deregulated in breast cancer (BC) representing ...

Open AccessmiR-204 targets Bcl-2 expression and enhances responsiveness of gastric cancer
Micro RNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs aberrantly expressed in human tumors. Here, we aim to identify miRs whose deregulated expression leads to the activation of oncogenic pathways in human gastric cance...

Direct regulation of microRNA biogenesis and expression by estrogen receptor beta in hormone-responsive breast cancer
Estrogen effects on mammary epithelial and breast cancer (BC) cells are mediated by the nuclear receptors ERα and ERβ, transcription factors that display functional antagonism with each other, with ERβ acting ...

LES and Laser Measurements of Dynamic Flame/Vortex Interactions
The dynamic interaction that occurs between a propagating flame front and a rotating vortex structure is one of the key mechanisms within turbulent combustion [1]. As such, it is found within many applications...

Large Eddy Simulation and PIV Measurements of Unsteady Premixed Flames Accelerated by Obstacles
In gas explosions, the unsteady coupling of the propagating flame and the flow field induced by the presence of blockages along the flame path produces vortices of different scales ahead of the flame front. Th...

Menopause modulates homocysteine levels in diabetic and non-diabetic women
High total homocysteine (tHcy) plasma levels may contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk of Type 2 diabetic women. However, to date, data on factors modulating tHcy concentration in this population are...

Mild hyperhomocysteinemia and the common C677T polymorphism of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene are not associated with the metabolic syndrome in Type 2 diabetes
A moderate increase of total homocysteine (tHcy) plasma levels seems to increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in Type 2 diabetic subjects, but its relationship with diabetes and insulin-resistance is stil...
