Journal ArticleDOI
Multifaceted Role of the Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator (uPA) and Its Receptor (uPAR): Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Applications.
TL;DR: The components of the PA system show altered expression patterns in several common malignancies, which have identified them as ideal diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets to reduce cancer-associated morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: RNA expression analysis from isolated fibre cells reveals the key regulatory and structural genes involved in fibre formation and expands the understanding of the molecular basis of fibre formation laying the foundation for the genetic improvement of jute.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA Methylation Readers and Cancer: Mechanistic and Therapeutic Applications.
Niaz Mahmood,Shafaat A. Rabbani +1 more
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge on the different classes of DNA methylation “readers” identified thus far are described along with their normal biological functions, how they are dysregulated in cancer is described, and the various anti-cancer therapies that are currently being developed and evaluated for targeting these proteins are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) supplementation attenuates breast cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis in vivo; therapeutic and chemopreventive applications
Niaz Mahmood,David Cheishvili,Ani Arakelian,Imrana Tanvir,Haseeb Ahmed Khan,Anne-Sophie Pepin,Moshe Szyf,Shafaat A. Rabbani +7 more
TL;DR: Gene expression analyses validated the ability of SAM to decrease the expression of several key genes implicated in cancer progression and metastasis in both cell lines and breast tumor xenografts and provided compelling evidence to evaluate the therapeutic potential of methylating agents like SAM in patients with breast cancer to reduce cancer-associated morbidity and mortality.
