S100 protein family has been implicated in multiple stages of tumorigenesis and
progression. Among the S100 genes, 22 are clustered at chromosome locus 1q21, a region …

Abstract S100 proteins (16 members) show a very divergent pattern of cell-and tissue-
specific expression, of subcel-lular localizations and relocations, of post-translational …

Patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) suffer from deficient secretion of saliva due to an
autoimmune destruction of salivary glands, however, glandular dysfunction also occurs …

The S100 family proteins possess a variety of intracellular and extracellular functions. They
interact with multiple receptors and signal transducers to regulate pathways that govern …

Background: Despite the better prognosis given by surgical resection and chemotherapy in
low-grade glioma (LGG), progressive transformation is still a huge concern. In this case, the …

We previously showed that the calcium-binding protein S100A4 is overexpressed during the
progression of prostate cancer (CaP) in humans and in the TRAMP (transgenic …

The epithelial polymeric immunoglobulin receptor/transmembrane secretory component
(pIgR/SC) transports into secretions polymeric immunoglobulin A (pIgA), which is …

Clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions for a subset of primary human brain tumors,
gliomas, are based almost exclusively on tissue histology. Approaches for glioma diagnosis …

Invasion and metastasis are hallmarks of malignant tumors resulting from the interaction
between tumor cells and the surrounding tissues. They include pathogenic steps, such as …

Galectins, a family of mammalian lectins with specificity to β‐galactosides, are involved in
growth‐regulatory mechanisms and cell adhesion. A relationship is assumed to exist …
