Novel screening approach for stem cell selective inhibitors and their possible translational therapeutic potential for endometriosis
Reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.repbio.2024.100992

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign disease characterized by growth of the endometrial tissue outside the uterine wall. Several reports suggest the possibility of the pathogenesis and recurrence of endometriosis being related to f…

Regulation of the Mechanism of TWIST1 Transcription by BHLHE40 and BHLHE41 in Cancer Cells.
Molecular and cellular biology ·doi:10.1128/mcb.00678-15

BHLHE40 and BHLHE41 (BHLHE40/41) are basic helix-loop-helix type transcription factors that play key roles in multiple cell behaviors. BHLHE40/41 were recently shown to be involved in an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, …

Endometrial cancer side-population cells show prominent migration and have a potential to differentiate into the mesenchymal cell lineage.
The American Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.2353/ajpath.2010.090056

Cancer stem-like cell subpopulations, referred to as "side-population" (SP) cells, have been identified in several tumors based on their ability to efflux the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342. Although SP cells have been identified in the norm…
