Calprotectin, Calgranulin C, and Other Members of the S100 Protein Family in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Manolakis, A. C.; Kapsoritakis, A. N.; Tiaka, E. K.; Potamianos, S. P. (2011)Background Since their discovery, S100 proteins have been associated with diverse diseases of inflammatory, degenerative, or malignant nature. Due to their participation in inflammation, they have also been studied with ... -
Epidermal growth factor in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers: An update
Tiaka, E. K.; Papanas, N.; Manolakis, A. C.; Georgiadis, G. S. (2012)Management of diabetic foot ulcers remains a rather challenging task. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays a central role in wound healing. It acts on epithelial cells and fibroblasts promoting restoration of damaged ... -

Tiaka, E. K.; Manolakis, A. C.; Kapsoritakis, A. N.; Potamianos, S. P. (2011)Adiponectin and resistin, members of the adipokine family, are multi-task hormones involved in several disorders, including those of the alimentary tract. In the present review, eligible studies focusing on the role of ... -
