• Involvement of CRMP2 in Regulation of Mitochondrial Morphology and Motility in Huntington’s Disease 

  Brustovetsky, Tatiana; Khanna, Rajesh; Brustovetsky, Nickolay (MDPI, 2021-11-15)

  Mitochondrial morphology and motility (mitochondrial dynamics) play a major role in the proper functioning of distant synapses. In Huntington's disease (HD), mitochondria become fragmented and less motile, but the mechanisms ...
• Epithelial-mesenchymal transition: a hallmark in pancreatic cancer stem cell migration, metastasis formation, and drug resistance 

  Safa, Ahmad R. (OAE Publishing, 2020)

  Metastasis, tumor progression, and chemoresistance are the major causes of death in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Tumor dissemination is associated with the activation of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal ...
