Loss of Tribbles pseudokinase-3 promotes Akt-driven tumorigenesis via FOXO inactivation
Tribbles pseudokinase-3 (TRIB3) has been proposed to act as an inhibitor of AKT although the precise molecular basis of this activity and whether the loss of TRIB3 contributes to cancer initiation and progress...

Stimulation of the midkine/ALK axis renders glioma cells resistant to cannabinoid antitumoral action
Identifying the molecular mechanisms responsible for the resistance of gliomas to anticancer treatments is an issue of great therapeutic interest. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major active ingredient of mar...

The orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR55 promotes cancer cell proliferation via ERK
GPR55 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor that may be engaged by some lipid ligands such as lysophosphatidylinositol and cannabinoid-type compounds. Very little is known about its expression pattern and ph...

Cannabinoids as Potential Antitumoral Agents in Pancreatic Cancer
Cannabinoids, the active components of Cannabis sativa L., act in the body by mimicking endogenous substances – the endocannabinoids – that activate specific cell surface receptors. Cannabinoids exert various ...

Topography and location of the depressor anguli oris muscle with a reference to the mental foramen
The labiomandibular fold (LMF) is the area of the face that extends from the mouth corner to the mandibular border, and its prominence tends to increase with age. The LMF can be formed by the medial or lateral...

Differential Transforms in Weighted Spaces
We extend the results by Jones and Rosenblatt about the series of the differences of differentiation operators along lacunary sequences to BMO and to the setting of weighted Lp spaces. We use a different approach...

Weighted Estimates for Singular Integral Operators Satisfying Hörmander’s Conditions of Young Type
The following open question was implicit in the literature: Are there singular integrals whose kernels satisfy the Lr-Hörmander condition for any r > 1 but not the L∞-Hörmander condition? We prove that the one-si...
