Breast cancer is the most common type of in women worldwide, with luminal subtype being widespread. Although characterized by better prognosis compared other subtypes, breast still considered a threatening disease due to therapy resistance, which occurs via both cell- and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms. Jumonji domain-containing 6, arginine demethylase lysine hydroxylase (JMJD6) endowed negative prognostic value and, its epigenetic activity, it known regulate many intrinsic cell pathways. So...
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an aggressive form of that emerges as tumors become resistant to hormone therapies or, rarely, arises de novo in treatment-naïve patients. The urgent need for effective against NEPC hampered by the limited knowledge biology governing this lethal disease. Based on our prior observations transgenic adenocarcinoma mouse (TRAMP) spontaneous model, which genetic depletion either mast cells (MC) or matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) increases...
