• Neuroblastoma cells negative for CD44 possess tumor-initiating properties 

      Siapati, E. K.; Rouka, E.; Kyriakou, D.; Vassilopoulos, G. (2011)
      CD44 has been linked to favorable prognosis in neuroblastoma and in the present study we investigate if it can be used to prospectively isolate neuroblastoma-initiating cells. To define the cancer-initiating properties of ...
    • PKC-epsilon activation is required for recognition memory in the rat 

      Zisopoulou, S.; Asimaki, O.; Leondaritis, G.; Vasilaki, A.; Sakellaridis, N.; Pitsikas, N.; Mangoura, D. (2013)
      Activation of PKC epsilon, an abundant and developmentally regulated PKC isoform in the brain, has been implicated in memory throughout life and across species. Yet, direct evidence for a mechanistic role for PKC epsilon ...
    • Tumor immune escape mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 

      Zamanakou, M.; Germenis, A. E.; Karanikas, V. (2007)
      Amongst the numerous mediators contributing towards the escape Of tumors from the host's immune response against them, the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (lDO) has recently attracted special attention. By catabolizing ...
