Epigenome erosion and SOX10 drive neural crest phenotypic mimicry in triple-negative breast cancer (2022)
Journal Article

Intratumoral heterogeneity is caused by genomic instability and phenotypic plasticity, but how these features co-evolve remains unclear. SOX10 is a neural crest stem cell (NCSC) specifier and candidate mediator of phenotypic plasticity in cancer. We...

Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: A proposal for classification (2021)
Journal Article

Breast lesions with a prominent myoepithelial cell component constitute a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant neoplastic proliferations. These lesions are often dual epithelial‐myoepithelial but may be purely myoepithelial cell in nature. Ben... Read More about Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: A proposal for classification.

PP1, PKA and DARPP-32 in breast cancer: a retrospective assessment of protein and mRNA expression (2021)
Journal Article

Cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) are proteins involved in numerous essential signalling pathways that modulate physiological and pathological functions. Both PP1 and PKA can be inhibited by dopamine and cAMP... Read More about PP1, PKA and DARPP-32 in breast cancer: a retrospective assessment of protein and mRNA expression.

Diagnostic Concordance of Phyllodes Tumour of the Breast (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Phyllodes tumours (PT) are rare and distinct breast tumours, which span a morphological continuum. Classification into benign, borderline and malignant categories reflects their biology and clinical behaviour and is essential to guide man...
