Fap2 Mediates Fusobacterium nucleatum Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Enrichment by Binding to Tumor-Expressed Gal-GalNAc.

TL;DR: A host polysaccharide and fusobacterial lectin that explicates fusObacteria abundance in CRC is identified and targeting F. nucleatum Fap2 or host epithelial Gal-GalNAc may reduce fusOBacteria potentiation of CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bisphenol A (BPA) and cell signaling pathways.

TL;DR: This review considers the literature concerning BPA and its association with cancer-related cell signaling pathways, reproductive toxicity- related cell signaling pathway, inflammatory or immune response-related Cell signaling pathways; and brain and nervous system-relatedcell signaling pathways.

Matrix Metalloproteinases in Bone Resorption, Remodeling, and Repair.

TL;DR: The functions of MMPs and their inhibitors in bone cells, during bone remodeling, pathological bone resorption (osteoporosis and bone metastasis), bone repair/regeneration, and emergent roles in bone bioengineering are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutant p53 in cancer therapy-the barrier or the path.

TL;DR: Some recent progresses in better understanding of the role of Mutant p53 GOF in chemoresistance and the underlying mechanisms are reviewed, and the pros and cons of targeting mutant p53 for the development of anti-cancer therapies are discussed.

Prospective identification of tumorigenic breast cancer cells

TL;DR: The ability to prospectively identify tumorigenic cancer cells will facilitate the elucidation of pathways that regulate their growth and survival and strategies designed to target this population may lead to more effective therapies.

Integrins: Bidirectional, Allosteric Signaling Machines

TL;DR: Current structural and cell biological data suggest models for how integrins transmit signals between their extracellular ligand binding adhesion sites and their cytoplasmic domains, which link to the cytoskeleton and to signal transduction pathways.

The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Generates Cells with Properties of Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is reported that the induction of an EMT in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMLEs) results in the acquisition of mesenchymal traits and in the expression of stem-cell markers, and it is shown that those cells have an increased ability to form mammospheres, a property associated with mammARY epithelial stem cells.
