NANOG controls testicular germ cell tumour stemness through regulation of MIR9-2 (2024)
Journal Article
Cardenas, R. P., Zyoud, A., McIntyre, A., Alberio, R., Mongan, N. P., & Allegrucci, C. (2024). NANOG controls testicular germ cell tumour stemness through regulation of MIR9-2. Stem Cell Research and Therapy, 15(1), Article 128. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-024-03724-1

Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) represent a clinical challenge; they are most prevalent in young individuals and are triggered by molecular mechanisms that are not fully understood. The origin of TGCTs can be traced back to primordia... Read More about NANOG controls testicular germ cell tumour stemness through regulation of MIR9-2.

HOXC8 regulates self-renewal, differentiation and transformation of breast cancer stem cells (2017)
Journal Article
Shah, M., Cardenas, R., Wang, B., Persson, J., Mongan, N. P., Grabowska, A. M., & Allegrucci, C. (2017). HOXC8 regulates self-renewal, differentiation and transformation of breast cancer stem cells. Molecular Cancer, 16(38), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12943-017-0605-z

Background: Homeobox genes are master regulators of cell fate during embryonic development and their expression is altered in cancer. By regulating the balance between cell proliferation and differentiation, they maintain homeostasis of normal tissue...
