      Hernández Ortega, Sara; Sánchez Botet, Abril; Quandt Herrera, Eva; Masip, Núria; Gasa Colom, Laura; Verde, Gaetano; Jiménez Jiménez, Javier; Levin, Rebecca; Rugatanira, Florentine U.; Burlingame, Alma L.; Wolfgeher, Donald; P.C. Ribeiro, Mariana; Kron, Stephen J.; M. Shokat, Kevan; Clotet Erra, Josep (2019)
      CDK16 (also known as PCTAIRE1 or PCTK1) is an atypical member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family that forms an active complex with cyclin Y (CCNY). Although both proteins have been recently ...
    • A systematic analysis of orphan cyclins reveals CNTD2 as a new oncogenic driver in lung cancer

      As lung cancer has increased to the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, prognostic biomarkers and efective targeted treatments remain lacking despite advances based on patients’ stratifcation. ...
    • The atypical cyclin CNTD2 promotes colon cancer cell proliferation and migration 

      Sánchez Botet, Abril; Gasa Colom, Laura; Quandt Herrera, Eva; Hernández Ortega, Sara; Jiménez Jiménez, Javier; Mezquita Mas, Pau; Carrasco García, Miguel Ángel; Kron, Stephen J.; Vidal, August; Villanueva, Alberto; P.C. Ribeiro, Mariana; Clotet Erra, Josep (2018-08-07)
      Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with 8–10% of these tumours presenting a BRAF (V600E) mutation. Cyclins are known oncogenes deregulated in many cancers, but the role ...
