BACKGROUND AND AIM: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by aberrant fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, resulting in irreversible lung remodel…

BACKGROUND: Distant metastasis (DM) of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is rare but significantly associated with decreased survival. Accurate clinical staging at initial diagnosis and during follow-up is essential. CASE DESCRIPTION: We repo…

OBJECTIVES: Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary shows distinct clinical characteristics depending on the stage. We aimed to investigate the imaging predictability for tumour stage in CCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-six tumours in 48 p…

Since its discovery, diverse functions have been attributed to the G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2), from lipid metabolism to control of cell proliferation. Our group showed for the first time that G0S2 promotes quiescence in hematopoietic stem c…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is defined as functioning endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. Endometriosis of the appendix is uncommon. Its clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic to acute abdominal pain. The aims of this study were to…

BACKGROUND: MicroRNA (miRNA) expression is known to be deregulated in cervical carcinomas. However, no data is available about the miRNA expression pattern for the minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of uterine cervix. We sought to detec…

Bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) balance proliferation and differentiation by integrating complex transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms regulated by cell intrinsic and extrinsic factors. We found that transcripts of G…

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that CDX-2 is expressed in the intestinal metaplasia of the stomach and intestinal-type gastric cancer. To address the role of CDX-2 in carcinogenesis of gastric carcinomas of intestinal type, th…
