      Padhan K., Moysi E., Noto A., Chassiakos A., Ghneim K., Perra M.M., Shah S., Papaioannou V., Fabozzi G., Ambrozak D.R., Poultsidi A., Ioannou M., Fenwick C., Darko S., Douek D.C., Sekaly R.-P., Pantaleo G., Koup R.A., Petrovas C. (2021)
      The development of follicular helper CD4 T (TFH) cells is a dynamic process resulting in a heterogenous pool of TFH subsets. However, the cellular and molecular determinants of this heterogeneity and the possible mechanistic ...
    • Cadherin and Wnt signaling pathways as key regulators in diabetic nephropathy 

      Tziastoudi M., Tsezou A., Stefanidis I. (2021)
      Aim A recent meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage studies (GWLS) has identified multiple genetic regions suggestive of linkage with DN harboring hundreds of genes. Moving this number of genetic loci forward into biological ...
    • Genetics of COVID-19 and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: a systematic review 

      Tziastoudi M., Cholevas C., Stefanidis I., Theoharides T.C. (2022)
      COVID-19 and ME/CFS present with some similar symptoms, especially physical and mental fatigue. In order to understand the basis of these similarities and the possibility of underlying common genetic components, we performed ...
    • Interleukin 21 controls mRNAand MicroRNA expression in CD40-activated chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells 

      De Cecco L., Capaia M., Zupo S., Cutrona G., Matis S., Brizzolara A., Orengo A.M., Croce M., Marchesi E., Ferrarini M., Canevari S., Ferrini S., Speletas M. (2015)
      Several factors support CLL cell survival in the microenvironment. Under different experimental conditions, IL21 can either induce apoptosis or promote CLL cell survival. To investigate mechanisms involved in the effects ...
