Role of Membrane-Bound and Circulating Endoglin in Disease Endoglin (Eng), alias CD105, is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose mutations are responsible for a rare pathology called hereditary hemorragic telangectasia type 1. In addition, Eng seems to be implicated [...]
MicroRNAs and Stem Cells 3.0 MicroRNAs are involved in cellular processes such as differentiation, growth, and apoptosis. Stem cells have peculiar properties such as differentiation and selfrenewal, which can be strongly influenced by epigenetic changes. Notably, miRNAs [...]
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and tissue regeneration: mechanism mediated by direct, paracrine or autocrine effects A special issue of Biomedicines (ISSN 2227-9059). This special issue belongs to the section "Molecular and Translational Medicine". Deadline for manuscript submissions: [...]
Cancer Genomics: Interpreting the Changing Landscape in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment The expanding knowledge and comprehension of human genetics are transforming the path and direction of research and medical approaches to cancer diagnosis and treatment. Recent high-throughput [...]
Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Probiotic Activity Basic and clinical studies have been providing increasing evidence that probiotic microorganisms can improve host health. Indeed, many scientific papers document that probiotics can balance the gut microbiota, reinforce [...]
Stress Response Effectors and Strategies in Probiotics Probiotics are gaining increasing attention thanks to the health-promoting activities associated to their dietary intake, and to their occurrence and persistence in the gut microbiota. According to the specific [...]
Virus–Host Interaction and Cell Restriction Mechanisms Viral diseases are becoming a major public health concern and an extended field of research. Deciphering the mechanisms that allow viruses to enter susceptible host cells, hijack cellular pathways, and evade innate [...]
Epigenetics and Molecular Genetics of Rare Tumors About this Research Topic Our knowledge of epigenetics and molecular genetics of rare tumors has increased very rapidly in the last few years. Innovative data on epigenetics and molecular genetics [...]
Antioxidants in Mitochondrial Dysfunction Disease We are leading the following Special Issue entitled “Antioxidants in Mitochondrial Dysfunction Disease” in the journal Antioxidants. Mitochondria act as master regulators inside our cell. While influencing the intracellular availability of [...]
Microenvironment Signals in Malignant B Cells B-cell malignancies are a heterogeneous group of hematological neoplasms derived from cells at different stages of B-cell development. Malignant B cells develop in specialized tissue microenvironments, such as bone marrow and secondary [...]
