Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Dimensional Spheroids as In Vitro Preclinical Models for Cancer Research.
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of 3D tumor systems is provided and the strategies for spheroid construction and evaluation tools of targeted therapies, focusing on their applicability in cancer research are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring the fidelity of mitotic chromosome segregation by the spindle assembly checkpoint.
Patrícia M. A. Silva,Joana Barbosa,Ana Vanessa Nascimento,Juliana Faria,Rita M. Reis,Hassan Bousbaa +5 more
TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms of activation and silencing of the spindle assembly checkpoint and its relationship to tumourigenesis are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitosis inhibitors in anticancer therapy: When blocking the exit becomes a solution.
Ana C. Henriques,Diana Ribeiro,Joel Pedrosa,Bruno Sarmento,Patrícia M. A. Silva,Hassan Bousbaa +5 more
TL;DR: An overview on the second-generation of antimitotics is provided, and possible strategies that exploit SAC activity, mitotic slippage/exit and apoptosis induction are discussed, in order to improve the efficacy of anticancer strategies that target mitosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
High CDC20 expression is associated with poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Inês M. B. Moura,Maria de Lurdes Delgado,Patrícia M. A. Silva,Carlos Lopes,José Barbas do Amaral,Luís Monteiro,Hassan Bousbaa +6 more
TL;DR: High CDC20 expression is associated with poor prognosis in OSCC and may be used to identify high-risk OSCC patients and may serve as a therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynein‐dependent transport of spindle assembly checkpoint proteins off kinetochores toward spindle poles
Patrícia M. A. Silva,Rita M. Reis,Victor M. Bolanos-Garcia,Cláudia Florindo,Álvaro A. Tavares,Hassan Bousbaa +5 more
TL;DR: Using two ATP reduction assays, it is found that the core SAC proteins Mad1, Mad2, Bub1, BubR1, and Bub3 redistributed from attached kinetochores to spindle poles, in a dynein‐dependent manner, which still occurred in metaphase‐arrested cells, at a time when the SAC should be satisfied and silenced.
