Quantitative promoter methylation analysis of multiple cancer-related genes in renal cell tumors (2007)

Costa, Vera L, Henrique, Rui, Ribeiro, Franclim R, Pinto, Mafalda, Oliveira, Jorge, Lobo, Francisco, ...

Abstract Background Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of cancer-associated genes occurs frequently during carcinogenesis and may serve as a cancer biomarker. In this study we aimed at defining a...

Acetylation genotype and the genetic susceptibility to postate cancer in a Southern European population (2005)

Pinto, Daniela, Morais, António, Vasconcelos, André, Oliveira, Jorge, Lopes, Carlos, ...

Epidemiologic studies have suggested that environmental factors and diet are important risk factors in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer. The N-acetyltransferases (NAT) are important enzymes in...

Utilization and Transport of Glucose in Olea Europaea Cell Suspensions (2002)

Oliveira, Jorge, Tavares, Rui M., Gerós, Hernâni

Cell suspensions of Olea europaea var. Galega Vulgar grown in batch culture with 0.5% (w/v) glucose were able to transport d-[14C]glucose according to Michaelis–Menten kinetics...

Quantitation of GSTP1 Methylation in Non-neoplastic Prostatic Tissue and Organ-Confined Prostate Adenocarcinoma (2001)

Jerónimo, Carmen, Usadel, Henning, Henrique, Rui, Oliveira, Jorge, Lopes, Carlos, Nelson, William G., ...

Background: Methylation of regulatory sequences near GSTP1, which encodes the π class glutathione S-transferase, is the most common epigenetic alteration associated with prostate cancer. We...
