Pancreatic endocrine neoplasms (PETs) are uncommon tumors with an annual incidence
less than 1 per 100,000 persons per year in the general population. PETs that produce …

Compared with other mammalian tissues, retina is highly enriched in PUFA. Long-chain
PUFA (LC-PUFA; C18-C24) are essential FAs that are enriched in the retina and are …

ContextWhile global microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns of many embryologic,
physiologic, and oncogenic processes have been described, description of the role of …

Purpose We investigated the global gene expression in a large panel of pancreatic
endocrine tumors (PETs) aimed at identifying new potential targets for therapy and …

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PETs) are the second most frequent pancreatic
neoplasms. Their poor chemosensitivity, high rate of metastatic disease and relatively long …

The intrinsic nature of tumour behaviour (stable vs progressive) and the presence of liver
metastases are key factors in determining the outcome of patients with a pancreatic …

Neuroendocrine tumors can develop either sporadically or in association with familial
syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), multiple endocrine …

Current classifications of human gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are
inconsistent and based upon histopathologic but not molecular features. We sought to …

Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs) are rare neoplasms which account for 1% to 2% of all
pancreatic malignancies. The diagnostic, grading and prognostic criteria for PETs have …

Accurate quantitation of target genes depends on correct normalization. Use of genes with
variable tissue transcription (GAPDH) is problematic, particularly in clinical samples, which …
