Mutations of the BRAF gene in human cancer

…, GJ Riggins, DD Bigner, G Palmieri, A Cossu… - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
Cancers arise owing to the accumulation of mutations in critical genes that alter normal
programmes of cell proliferation, differentiation and death. As the first stage of a systematic …

BRAF/NRAS mutation frequencies among primary tumors and metastases in patients with melanoma

M Colombino, M Capone, A Lissia, A Cossu… - Journal of Clinical …, 2012 - flore.unifi.it
The prevalence of BRAF, NRAS, and p16CDKN2A mutations during melanoma progression
remains inconclusive. We investigated the prevalence and distribution of mutations in these …

Expression profiling of purified normal human luminal and myoepithelial breast cells: identification of novel prognostic markers for breast cancer

C Jones, A Mackay, A Grigoriadis, A Cossu… - Cancer research, 2004 - AACR
The normal duct-lobular system of the breast is lined by two epithelial cell types, inner
luminal secretory cells and outer contractile myoepithelial cells. We have generated …

[HTML][HTML] Molecular epidemiology of the main druggable genetic alterations in non-small cell lung cancer

…, P Paliogiannis, A Zinellu, AG Fois, A Cossu… - International journal of …, 2021 - mdpi.com
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death for malignancy worldwide. Its molecular profiling

[PDF][PDF] A functional mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling is indispensable for c‐Myc‐driven hepatocarcinogenesis

…, S Brozzetti, G Vidili, A Porcu, A Cossu… - …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Amplification and/or activation of the c‐Myc proto‐oncogene is one of the leading genetic
events along hepatocarcinogenesis. The oncogenic potential of c‐Myc has been proven …

[PDF][PDF] Prune cAMP phosphodiesterase binds nm23-H1 and promotes cancer metastasis

…, V Aglio, O Guardiola, G Arrigoni, A Cossu… - Cancer cell, 2004 - cell.com
We identify a new enzymatic activity underlying metastasis in breast cancer and describe its
susceptibility to therapeutic inhibition. We show that human prune (h-prune), a …

[HTML][HTML] Multiple molecular pathways in melanomagenesis: characterization of therapeutic targets

…, S Ribback, F Dombrowski, RM Pascale, A Cossu… - Journal of …, 2017 - Elsevier
Background & Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a lethal malignancy without
effective treatment options. MLN0128, a second generation pan-mTOR inhibitor, shows …

X-inactivation patch size in human female tissue confounds the assessment of tumor clonality

M Novelli, A Cossu, D Oukrif… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Most models of tumorigenesis assume that tumors are monoclonal in origin. This conclusion
is based largely on studies using X chromosome-linked markers in females. One important …

Identification of a novel candidate gene, CASC2, in a region of common allelic loss at chromosome 10q26 in human endometrial cancer

P Baldinu, A Cossu, A Manca, MP Satta… - Human …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Allelic deletions, which are suggestive for the presence of tumor suppressor genes, represent
a common event in endometrial cancer (EC). Previous loss‐of‐heterozygosity studies for …
