Evaluation of plasma lipocalin-2 as a predictor of etiology and severity in adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia
(Microorganisms, 2023)The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of plasma Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) concentration in adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) to determine its etiology, severity ... -
CDK6 is activated by the atypical cyclin I to promote E2F-mediated gene expression and cancer cell proliferation
(Molecular Oncology, 2023)Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), together with their cyclin partners, are the master cell cycle regulators. Remarkably, the cyclin family was extended to include atypical cyclins, characterized by ... -
Alterations in p53, microsatellite stability and lack of MUC5AC expression as molecular features of colorectal carcinoma associated with inflammatory bowel disease
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023)Colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma (CAC) occurs in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) because of the “chronic inflammation-dysplasia-cancer” carcinogenesis pathway characterized by p53 alterations ... -
Relationship between a daily injury risk estimation feedback (I-REF) based on machine learning techniques and actual injury risk in athletics (track and field): protocol for a prospective cohort study over an athletics season
(BMJ Open, 2023)Introduction Two-thirds of athletes (65%) have at least one injury complaint leading to participation restriction (ICPR) in athletics (track and field) during one season. The emerging practice of medicine ... -
Targeting the Src N-terminal regulatory element in cancer
(Oncotarget, 2023)The signaling pathways displayed by cancer cells are often composed by the same components than the physiological ones, yet the overall result is a pathological deregulation. The non-receptor protein ... -
