The odyssey of complex neurogenetic disorders: From undetermined to positive.
(Wiley, 2020-12)Abstract The genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of neurogenetic diseases forces patients and their families into a "diagnostic odyssey." An increase in the variability of genetic disorders and the corresponding gene-disease ... -
Transcript Expression of Vesicular Glutamate Transporters in Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion and Spinal Cord Neurons: Impact of Spinal Blockade during Hindpaw Inflammation
(American Chemical Society, 2020-09)Abstract Studies in mouse, and to a lesser extent in rat, have revealed the neuroanatomical distribution of vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) and begun exposing the critical role of VGLUT2 and VGLUT3 in pain ... -
USP19 modulates cancer cell migration and invasion and acts as a novel prognostic marker in patients with early breast cancer
(Springer Nature, 2021-03)Abstract Tumor cell dissemination in cancer patients is associated with a significant reduction in their survival and quality of life. The ubiquitination pathway plays a fundamental role in the maintenance of protein ... -
Up-regulation of pro-angiogenic molecules and events does not relate with an angiogenic switch in metastatic osteosarcoma cells but to cell survival features
(Springer, 2021-08)Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent malignant bone tumor, affecting predominantly children. Metastases represent a major clinical challenge and an estimated 80% would present undetectable micrometastases at ... -
