Genome-wide association defines more than 30 distinct susceptibility loci for Crohn's disease

Jeffrey C. Barrett, +62 more
- 01 Aug 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results strongly confirm 11 previously reported loci and provide genome-wide significant evidence for 21 additional loci, including the regions containing STAT3, JAK2, ICOSLG, CDKAL1 and ITLN1, which offer promise for informed therapeutic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Let-7 expression defines two differentiation stages of cancer.

TL;DR: Using ovarian cancer as a model, expression of let-7 and HMGA2 is a better predictor of prognosis than classical markers such as E-cadherin, vimentin, and Snail, and data identify loss ofLet-7 expression as a marker for less differentiated cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of E-Cadherin Promotes Ovarian Cancer Metastasis via α5-Integrin, which Is a Therapeutic Target

TL;DR: It is shown here that inhibition of E-cadherin in ovarian cancer cells causes up-regulation of alpha(5)-integrin protein expression and transcription, providing an explanation for how E- cadher in loss increases metastasis.
