• Mutagenesis of a Lotus japonicus GSK3β/Shaggy-like kinase reveals functionally conserved regulatory residues 

      Solovou T.G.A., Garagounis C., Kyriakis E., Bobas C., Papadopoulos G.E., Skamnaki V.T., Papadopoulou K.K., Leonidas D.D. (2021)
      The glycogen synthase kinases 3 family (GSK3s/SKs; serine/threonine protein kinases) is conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution from yeast to plants and mammals. We studied a plant SK kinase from Lotus japonicus (LjSK1), ...

(2019)
      The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a cancer lineage that arose several millennia ago and survives by “metastasizing” between hosts through cell transfer. The somatic mutations in this cancer record its ...
    • Targeted somatic mutagenesis through CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae 

      Meccariello A., Tsoumani K.T., Gravina A., Primo P., Buonanno M., Mathiopoulos K.D., Saccone G. (2020)
      The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the most destructive insect pest of olive cultivation, causing significant economic and production losses. Here, we present the establishment of the clustered ...
    • Transferrin receptor-1 and 2 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia 

      Smilevska, T.; Stamatopoulos, K.; Samara, M.; Belessi, C.; Tsompanakou, A.; Paterakis, G.; Stavroyianni, N.; Athanasiadou, I.; Chiotoglou, I.; Hadzidimitriou, A.; Athanasiadou, A.; Douka, V.; Saloum, R.; Laoutaris, N.; Anagnostopoulos, A.; Fassas, A.; Stathakis, N.; Kollia, P. (2006)
      Transferrin receptor (TfR)-1 and 2 mRNA and CD71 (TfR1) expression was analyzed in 118 CLL patients. Ninety-five out of 109 analyzed cases expressed CD71, mostly at a high level; 60% of CD71 (+) cases were IGH-mutated. All ...
