The dark sides of capillary morphogenesis gene 2.
Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2) is a type I membrane protein involved in the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix. While it shares interesting similarities with integrins, its exact molecular role is unknown. The interest and knowledge about CMG2 largely stems from the fact that it is involved in two diseases, one infectious and one genetic. CMG2 is the main receptor of the anthrax tox...
متن کاملCapillary morphogenesis gene 2 regulates adhesion and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells
Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2), also known as anthrax toxin receptor 2, has been indicated in the formation of new vasculature and in the internalisation of the anthrax toxin. Anti-angiogenesis therapy that targets this molecule has been investigated. However, our recent studies of this molecule have indicated that this gene may also play certain roles in cancer cells. The present study ...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of capillary morphogenesis gene 2 extracellular vWA domain in tumour‑related angiogenesis.
Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2) is a receptor of anthrax toxin and plays an important role in angiogenesis. It has been shown to be involved in the cell adhesion and motility of various cell types, including epithelia and endothelia. The present study aimed to examine the therapeutic potential of targeting CMG2 to prevent tumour‑related new vasculature. The full-length coding sequence of ...
متن کاملBright and dark sides of computational intelligence
The paper describes basic concepts of neural networks and fuzzy systems. It is shows that most commonly used neural network architecture of MLP – Multi Layer Perceptron is also one of the least efficient ones. Also most commonly used EBP – Error Back Propagation algorithm is not only very slow, but also it is not able to find solutions for optimal neural network architectures. EBP can solve pro...
متن کاملThe bright and dark sides of evidence-based implantology.
Let’s start with the bright side: the impact factor scores of scientific journals for 2012 were recently released and I was pleased to observe that EJOI substantially improved its score, achieving an impact factor of 2.57 (position 13 out of the 82 dental journals that are currently listed). This should be consid ered an excellent achievement, especially considering the time frame of just 3 yea...
