• CD90/Thy-1, a cancer-associated cell surface signaling molecule 

      Sauzay C., Voutetakis K., Chatziioannou A.A., Chevet E., Avril T. (2019)
      CD90 is a membrane GPI-anchored protein with one Ig V-type superfamily domain that was initially described in mouse T cells. Besides the specific expression pattern and functions of CD90 that were described in normal tissues ...
    • The fate of BRCA1-related germline mutations in triple-negative breast tumors 

      Kotoula V., Fostira F., Papadopoulou K., Apostolou P., Tsolaki E., Lazaridis G., Manoussou K., Zagouri F., Pectasides D., Vlachos I., Tikas I., Lakis S., Konstantopoulou I., Pentheroudakis G., Gogas H., Papakostas P., Christodoulou C., Bafaloukos D., Razis E., Karavasilis V., Bamias C., Yannoukakos D., Fountzilas G. (2017)
      The preservation of pathogenic BRCA1/2 germline mutations in tumor tissues is usually not questioned, while it remains unknown whether these interact with somatic genotypes for patient outcome. Herein we compared germline ...
    • Immunoglobulin genes in multiple myeloma: Expressed and non-expressed repertoires, heavy and light chain pairings and somatic mutation patterns in a series of 101 cases 

      Hadzidimitriou, A.; Stamatopoulos, K.; Belessi, C.; Lalayianni, C.; Stavroyianni, N.; Smilevska, T.; Hatzi, K.; Laoutaris, N.; Anagnostopoulos, A.; Kollia, P.; Fassas, A. (2006)
      Background and Objectives. The available data on the immunoglobulin gene (IG) repertoire in multiple myeloma (MM) derive mainly from heavy chains; considerably less is known about light chains. We assessed in parallel IGH ...

(2020)
      Autonomous replication and segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) creates the potential for evolutionary conflict driven by emergence of haplotypes under positive selection for ‘selfish’ traits, such as replicative ...
    • Somatic evolution and global expansion of an ancient transmissible cancer lineage 

      Baez-Ortega A., Gori K., Strakova A., Allen J.L., Allum K.M., Bansse-Issa L., Bhutia T.N., Bisson J.L., Briceño C., Domracheva A.C., Corrigan A.M., Cran H.R., Crawford J.T., Davis E., De Castro K.F., De Nardi A.B., De Vos A.P., Keenan L.D., Donelan E.M., Espinoza Huerta A.R., Faramade I.A., Fazil M., Fotopoulou E., Fruean S.N., Gallardo-Arrieta F., Glebova O., Gouletsou P.G., Häfelin Manrique R.F., Henriques J.J.G.P., Horta R.S., Ignatenko N., Kane Y., King C., Koenig D., Krupa A., Kruzeniski S.J., Kwon Y.-M., Lanza-Perea M., Lazyan M., Lopez Quintana A.M., Losfelt T., Marino G., Castañeda S.M., Martínez-López M.F., Meyer M., Migneco E.J., Nakanwagi B., Neal K.B., Neunzig W., Leathlobhair M.N., Nixon S.J., Ortega-Pacheco A., Pedraza-Ordoñez F., Peleteiro M.C., Polak K., Pye R.J., Reece J.F., Gutierrez J.R., Sadia H., Schmeling S.K., Shamanova O., Sherlock A.G., Stammnitz M., Steenland-Smit A.E., Svitich A., Tapia Martínez L.J., Ngoka I.T., Torres C.G., Tudor E.M., Van Der Wel M.G., Viţălaru B.A., Vural S.A., Walkinton O., Wang J., Wehrle-Martinez A.S., Widdowson S.A.E., Stratton M.R., Alexandrov L.B., Martincorena I., Murchison E.P. (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 ...
