Screening for Small Molecules: Target Discovery Against miRNAs for Breast Cancer Treatment

18 Aug 2015 | Contributor(s): Odemaris Narvaez del Pilar

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths and morbidity among women worldwide. Identifying new targets and developing new therapies is very important in order to improve patient outcomes and minimize this health burden. MicroRNAs, a type of non-coding RNA, are potential...

Integrated analysis of breast cancer cell lines reveals unique signaling pathways

16 Sep 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): Laura M Heiser, Nicholas J Wang, Carolyn L Talcott, Keith R Laderoute, Merrill Knapp, Yinghui Guan, Zhi Hu, Safiyyah Ziyad, Barbara L Weber, Sylvie Laquerre, Jeffrey R Jackson, Richard F Wooster, Wen Lin Kuo, Joe W Gray, Paul T Spellman

AbstractBackgroundCancer is a heterogeneous disease resulting from the accumulation of genetic defects that negatively impact control of cell division, motility, adhesion and apoptosis. Deregulation in signaling along the EgfR-MAPK pathway is common in breast cancer, though the manner in which...
