A partir de 1996, con la introducción del TARGA, se modificó radicalmente el pronóstico de los pacientes infectados por el VIH-1. Normalmente, se consigue una restauración del sistema inmunológico directamente asociado con la supresión vírica hasta niveles indetectables. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes sometidos al TARGA experimentan una...

El cáncer colorrectal está entre las causas más comunes de muerte relacionada con cáncer en el mundo occidental y entre los tumores malignos más comunes en el mundo. El tratamiento del cáncer colorrectal metastásico comprende normalmente quimioterapia, aunque el éxito de la terapia varía significativamente entre los pacientes. Existe de esta...

Método para predecir la respuesta al tratamiento con quimioterapia en pacientes de cáncer colorrectal. Método de obtención de datos útiles para predecir la respuesta al tratamiento con quimioterapia en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal, kit, dispositivo y microarray para llevar a cabo dicho método.

NumbL, or Numb-like, is a close homologue of Numb, and is part of an evolutionary conserved protein family implicated in some important cellular processes. Numb is a protein involved in cell development, in cell adhesion and migration, in asymmetric cell division, and in targeting proteins for endocytosis and ubiquitination. NumbL exhibits some...

After several decades without maintained responses or long-term survival of patients with lung cancer, novel therapies have emerged as a hopeful milestone in this research field. The appearance of immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors, has improved both the overall survival and quality of life of patients, many of whom are...

DNA methylation is important for gene expression and genome stability, and its disruption is thought to play a key role in the initiation and progression of cancer and other diseases. The DLK1-DIO3 cluster has been shown to be imprinted in humans, and some of its components are relevant to diverse pathological processes. The purpose of this...

Background The high incidence and mortality of lung tumours is a major health problem. Therefore, the identification both of biomarkers predicting efficacy for therapies in use and of novel efficacious therapeutic agents is crucial to increase patient survival. MAP17 (PDZK1IP1) is a small membrane-bound protein whose upregulation is reported as...

Método de obtención de datos útiles para el diagnóstico, pronóstico y clasificación de los pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) y/o cáncer de pulmón. Método de obtención de datos útiles para el diagnóstico, pronóstico y clasificación de los individuos con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) y/o cáncer de...

The scaffold protein Spinophilin (Spinophilin, PPP1R9B) is one of the regulatory subunits of phosphatase-1 (PP1), directing it to distinct subcellular locations and targets. The loss of Spinophilin reduces PP1 targeting to pRb, thereby maintaining higher levels of phosphorylated pRb. Spinophilin is absent or reduced in approximately 40% of...

Lung cancer (LC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly coexist in smokers, and the presence of COPD increases the risk of developing LC. Cigarette smoke causes oxidative stress and an inflammatory response in lung cells, which in turn may be involved in COPD and lung cancer development. The aim of this study was to identify...

Introduction: There is substantial evidence for the onco- genic effects of fi broblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) in many types of cancer, including lung cancer, but the role of this receptor has not been addressed speci fi cally in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: We performed FGFR1 and EGFR overexpression and co-overexpression assays in...

Squamous cell lung cancer (SCC) and adenocarcinoma are the most common histological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and have been traditionally managed in the clinic as a single entity. Increasing evidence, however, illustrates the biological diversity of these two histological subgroups of lung cancer, and supports the need...
