Endometrial carcinoma: molecular alterations involved in tumor development and progression
In the western world, endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common cancer of the female genital tract. The annual incidence has been estimated at 10–20 per 100 000 women. Two clinicopathological variants are ...

ETV5 cooperates with LPP as a sensor of extracellular signals and promotes EMT in endometrial carcinomas
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most frequent among infiltrating tumors of the female genital tract, with myometrial invasion representing an increase in the rate of recurrences and a decrease in survival. W...

Hot Electron Transport in Superlattices
We describe measurements of hot-electron dynamics in superlattices under flat band conditions and superlattices in a uniform electric field. Under flat band conditions we show that carriers in high-lying minib...

Kinetic Limits to Growth on GaAs by OMCVD
Using a real-time surface probe with 0.01 monolayer (ML) sensitivity, we determine the rate-limiting steps for atmospheric-pressure, alternating-layer-epitaxy OMCVD growth on (001) and (110) GaAs with trimethy...
