Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic determinants of common epilepsies: a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies

Richard Anney, +111 more
- 30 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: This meta-analysis describes a new locus not previously implicated in epilepsy and provides further evidence about the genetic architecture of these disorders, with the ultimate aim of assisting in disease classification and prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 induces differentiation of colorectal cancer stem cells and increases their response to chemotherapy in mice.

TL;DR: BMP4 promotes terminal differentiation, apoptosis, and chemosensitization of CRC-SCs in tumors that do not have simultaneous mutations in Smad4 and constitutive activation of PI3K.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumorigenic and metastatic activity of human thyroid cancer stem cells.

TL;DR: The identification of tumorigenic and metastagenic thyroid cancer cells may provide unprecedented preclinical tools for development and preclinical validation of novel targeted therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breast cancer stem cells rely on fermentative glycolysis and are sensitive to 2-deoxyglucose treatment

TL;DR: It is suggested that inhibition of glycolysis may be a potentially effective strategy to target BCSCs, and functional validation of proteomic and metabolic data provide evidences for increased activities of key enzymes of anaerobic glucose fate in cancer stem cells as well as different redox status.
