Molecular characterization of PDGFR-α/PDGF-A and c-KIT/SCF in gliosarcomas (2005)

Reis, R. M., Martins, Albino, Ribeiro, Susana A., Basto, Diana, Longatto Filho, Adhemar, Schmitt, Fernando C., ...

Gliosarcomas are rare and poorly characterized malignant brain tumors that exhibit a biphasic tissue pattern with areas of gliomatous and sarcomatous differentiation. These tumors are histological...

Overexpression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α in breast cancer is associated with tumour progression (2005)

Carvalho, Inês, Milanezi, Fernanda, Martins, Albino, Reis, Rui M, Schmitt, Fernando

Abstract Introduction Receptor tyrosine kinases have been extensively studied owing to their frequently abnormal activation in the development and progression of human cancers. Platelet-derived...

Mutation analysis of B-RAF gene in human gliomas (2005)

Basto, Diana, Trovisco, Vítor, Lopes, José M., Martins, Albino, Pardal, Fernando, Soares, Paula, ...

The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK kinase pathway is pivotal in the transduction of mitogenic stimuli from activated growth factor receptors, which regulates cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation....

VEGFR-3 expression in breast cancer tissue is not restricted to lymphatic vessels (2005)

Longatto Filho, Adhemar, Martins, Albino, Schmitt, Fernando C.

We examined the immunohistochemical reactivity for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR-3), a protein playing an important role in lymphangiogenesis, in breast cancer. A retrospective...

Distribution of p63, cytokeratins 5/6 and cytokeratin 14 in 51 normal and 400 neoplastic human tissue samples using TARP-4 multi-tumor tissue microarray (2003)

Reis Filho, Jorge S., Simpson, Pete T., Martins, Albino, Gartner, Fátima, Schmitt, Fernando C.

p63, cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 and CK 14 have been employed in diagnostic pathology as markers of basal, squamous and myoepithelial differentiation in several types of human neoplasms; however, there is...
