fundamental to the body’s defense against infection. Environmental factors, such as smoking, …

Inappropriate activation of developmental pathways is a well-recognized tumor-promoting
mechanism. Here we show that overexpression of the homeoprotein Six1, normally a …

Generalized gingival enlargement can be caused by a variety of etiological factors. It can be
inherited (hereditary gingival fibromatosis [HGF]); associated with other diseases …

Homeobox genes constitute a large family of transcription factors that are essential during

Background: Identifying informative prognostic biomarkers for oral tongue squamous cell
carcinoma (OTSCC) is of great importance in order to better predict tumour behaviour and to …

Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is the enzyme responsible for the endogenous synthesis of the
saturated fatty acid palmitate. In contrast to most normal cells, malignant cells depend on …

Tumorigenesis can arise from inappropriate activation of developmental genes in mature
tissues. Here, we show that the developmental regulator Six1 is overexpressed in ovarian …

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) describes a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of
disorders of biomineralization resulting from failure of normal enamel formation. AI is found …

Several lines of evidence demonstrated that the stroma surrounding the tumors plays an
