Causal Relationship between the Loss of RUNX3 Expression and Gastric Cancer
Runx3/Pebp2alphaC null mouse gastric mucosa exhibits hyperplasias due to stimulated proliferation and suppressed apoptosis in epithelial cells, and the cells are resistant to growth-inhibitory and… Expand
Exploration of tumor-suppressive microRNAs silenced by DNA hypermethylation in oral cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that, in general, negatively regulate gene expression. They have been identified in various tumor types, showing that different sets of miRNAs… Expand
Variation in TP63 is associated with lung adenocarcinoma susceptibility in Japanese and Korean populations
Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer worldwide, and its incidence is increasing in East Asian and Western countries. To identify genetic factors that modify the risk of lung… Expand
