Abstract Purpose To examine racial and ethnic disparities in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) older adults with breast cancer, both pre- post-diagnosis. Methods Using the SEER-MHOS database, we included patients ≥ 65 years old cancer who completed Health Outcomes Survey within 24 months post-diagnosis, were non-Hispanic White, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black African American, Hispanic. HRQOL data was measured via Physical Mental Component Summary (PCS, MCS). Univariable multivariable...

LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) are transmembrane receptors involved in endocytosis, cell-signaling, and trafficking of other cellular proteins. Considerable work has focused on LRPs the fields vascular biology neurobiology. How these affect cancer progression humans remains largely unknown. Herein, we mined provisional databases The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to compare expression thirteen ten common solid malignancies patients. Our first goal was determine abundance LRP mRNAs each...

In high grade glioma (HGG), extensive tumor cell infiltration of normal brain typically precludes identifying effective margins for surgical resection or irradiation. Pertussis toxin (PT) is a multimeric complex that inactivates diverse Gi/o G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Despite the broad continuum regulatory events controlled by GPCRs, PT may be applicable as therapeutic. We have shown urokinase receptor (uPAR) major driver HGG migration. uPAR-initiated cell-signaling requires GPCR,...
