Radiotherapy resistance driven by Asparagine endopeptidase through ATR pathway modulation in breast cancer
Abstract Background Tumor resistance represents a major challenge in the current oncology landscape.Asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) overexpression correlates with worse prognosis and reduced overall survival in most human solid tumors.However, the underlying mechanisms of the connection between AEP and reduced overall survival in cancer patients rem
Development of the retinotectal system in the direct-developing frog Eleutherodactylus coqui in comparison with other anurans
Abstract Background Frogs primitively have a biphasic life history with an aquatic larva (tadpole) and a usually terrestrial adult.However, direct developing frogs of the genus Eleutherodactylus have lost a free living larval stage.Many larval structures never form during development of Eleutherodactylus, while limbs, spinal cord, and an adult-like
