Antibacterial and antifungal activity of the human endometrial fluid during the natural cycle
(Hindawi, 2021-06-16)[EN] Purpose. Some microbiota patterns have been associated with favorable IVF prognosis and others with pathological conditions. The endometrial fluid aspirate (EFA) contains antibacterial proteins that are enriched in ... -
Collision tumour involving a rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumour with invasion of the prostate and a prostatic adenocarcinoma
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common primary mesenchymal neoplasia in the gastrointestinal tract, although they represent only a small fraction of total gastrointestinal malignancies ... -
Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth: TRACERx Renal
(Cell Press, 2018-04-19)The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study, ... -

(Public Library Science, 2015-03-19)Background Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) (DPPIV) is a serine peptidase involved in cell differentiation, adhesion, immune modulation and apoptosis, functions that control neoplastic transformation. Previous ... -
Dual-Specificity Phosphatases in Neuroblastoma Cell Growth and Differentiation
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are important regulators of neuronal cell growth and differentiation by targeting proteins essential to neuronal survival in signaling pathways, among which the MAP kinases (MAPKs) ... -
Effect of vitamin E administered to men in infertile couples on sperm and assisted reproduction outcomes: a double-blind randomized study
(Elsevier, 2020-12)Objective: To evaluate the influence on sperm parameters and invitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes of the administration of 400 mg/day of vitamin E for 3 months to men from infertile couples who are undergoing IVF. Design: ... -
Estimation of preterm labor immediacy by nonlinear methods
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-01)Preterm delivery affects about one tenth of human births and is associated with an increased perinatal morbimortality as well as with remarkable costs. Even if there are a number of predictors and markers of preterm delivery, ... -
Food groups, diet quality and colorectal cancer risk in the Basque Country
(Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, 2020-07-28)BACKGROUND The results obtained to date concerning food groups, diet quality and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk vary according to criteria used and the study populations. AIM To study the relationships between food groups, ... -
Gene Expression Study and Pathway Analysis of Histological Subtypes of Intestinal Metaplasia that Progress to Gastric Cancer
(Public Library Science, 2017-04-25)Background Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a precursor lesion that precedes gastric cancer (GC). There are two IM histological subtypes, complete (CIM) and incomplete (IIM), the latter having higher progression rates to ... -
Gene–Diet Interactions in Colorectal Cancer: Survey Design, Instruments, Participants and Descriptive Data of a Case–Control Study in the Basque Country
(MDPI, 2020)Epidemiologic studies have revealed inconsistent evidence of gene-diet interaction in relation to colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to analyze them in a sample of cases and controls from the population-based ... -
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotype 18 variants in patients with clinical manifestations of HPV related infections in Bilbao, Spain
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background:Human papillomavirus (HPV) variants differ in their biological and chemical properties, and therefore, may present differences in pathogenicity. Most authors classified variants based on the phylogenetic analysis ... -
Liver osteopontin is required to prevent the progression of age-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(Wiley, 2020-07-07)[EN] Osteopontin (OPN), a senescence-associated secretory phenotype factor, is increased in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Cellular senescence has been associated with age-dependent hepatosteatosis. ... -
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Biomarkers Linked to Lung Metastatic Potential and Cell Stemness
(Public Library Science, 2015-07-07)Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung-metastasizing neoplasm caused by the proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells that commonly carry loss-of-function mutations in either the tuberous sclerosis complex 1 or 2 ... -
Meta-Analysis of the Embryo Freezing Transfer Interval
(Wiley, 2021-04)Background The decision of whether frozen embryo transfer (FET) should be performed in the cycle immediately after OPU or at least one cycle later is controversial. FET could improve pregnancy rates in IVF; however, how ... -
Micrornas Expression Profile in Solid and Unicystic Ameloblastomas
(Public Library Science, 2017-10-20)Objectives Odontogenic tumors (OT) represent a specific pathological category that includes some lesions with unpredictable biological behavior. Although most of these lesions are benign, some, such as the ameloblastoma, ... -
(Pro)renin Receptor Expression Increases throughout the Colorectal Adenoma-Adenocarcinoma Sequence and It Is Associated with Worse Colorectal Cancer Prognosis
(MDPI, 2019-06-24)(Pro)renin receptor (PRR) is a protein that takes part in several signaling pathways such as Renin Angiotensin System and Wnt signalling. Its biological role has recently been related to cancer progression and in this ... -
Protein tyrosine phosphatase modulates cell growth and associates with poor outcome in human neuroblastoma
