Spatial Positioning of RET and H4 Following Radiation Exposure Leads to Tumor Development by Yuri E. Nikiforov

“…Although it has been known for a long time that radiation exposure to the cell results in extensive DNA damage, including double strand DNA breaks, the exact mechanisms of radiation-induced carcinogenesis remain unknown. Recently, a large increase in incidence of thyroid cancer was observed in children exposed to radiation after the Chernobyl nuclear accident [1]. …”

Expression of ERα, ERβ and Co-Regulator PELP1/MNAR in Colorectal Cancer: Prognostic Significance and Clinicopathologic Correlations by Petros D. Grivas, Vassiliki Tzelepi, Georgia Sotiropoulou-Bonikou, Zinovia Kefalopoulou, Athanasios G. Papavassiliou, Haralabos Kalofonos

“…Background: Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is abundantly expressed in colorectal tissue, but its role in colorectal carcinogenesis remains elusive. ER novel co-regulator, proline-, glutamic acid- and leucine-rich protein 1 (PELP1/MNAR) has been characterized, but its expression in colorectal carcinomas has not been investigated.…”

A bird's eye view to the homeostatic, Alzheimer and Glioblastoma attractors by Joan Nieves, Gabriel Gil, Augusto Gonzalez

“…Dimensional reduction analysis of available data for white matter of the brain allows to locate the normal (homeostatic), Glioblastoma and Alzheimer's disease attractors in gene expression space and to identify paths related to transitions like carcinogenesis or Alzheimer's disease onset. A predefined path for aging is also apparent, which is consistent with the hypothesis of programmatic aging. …”
