Werner Syndrome Protein Expression in Breast Cancer (2020)
Journal Article

Introduction Werner protein (WRN) plays an important role in DNA repair, replication, transcription, and consequently genomic stability via its DNA-helicase and exonuclease activity. Loss of function of WRN is associated with Werner syndrome (WS), w... Read More about Werner Syndrome Protein Expression in Breast Cancer.

IL6/STAT3 Signaling Hijacks Estrogen Receptor ? Enhancers to Drive Breast Cancer Metastasis (2020)
Journal Article

The cytokine interleukin-6 (IL6) and its downstream effector STAT3 constitute a key oncogenic pathway, which has been thought to be functionally connected to estrogen receptor ? (ER) in breast cancer. We demonstrate that IL6/STAT3 signaling drives me... Read More about IL6/STAT3 Signaling Hijacks Estrogen Receptor ? Enhancers to Drive Breast Cancer Metastasis.

Molecular Complexity of Lymphovascular Invasion: The Role of Cell Migration in Breast Cancer as a Prototype (2020)
Journal Article

Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is associated with poor outcome in breast cancer (BC); however, its underlying mechanisms remain ill-defined. LVI in BC develops through complex molecular pathways involving not only the interplay with the surrounding mi...

Feasibility of integrated high?wavenumber Raman imaging and fingerprint Raman spectroscopy for fast margin assessment in breast cancer surgery (2020)
Journal Article

Intraoperative assessment of surgical margins remains one of the main challenges in cancer surgery. Raman spectroscopy can detect cancer cells with high accuracy, but it is time‐consuming. In this paper, we investigated a selective‐sampling Raman spe...
