Background & Objective: In Triple-Negative Breast Cancers (TNBCs), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2/neu genes are not expressed. Fibroblastic Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR1) gene product is a protein that acts as a receptor of thyrosin kinase. It plays a role in the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of malignant cells. The objective was t...

introduction: breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and her-2 is one importantly prognostic factor in this cancer. tumor markers use as a criterion for predicting recurrence, but in breast cancer physical examination and mammography are important factors that are recommended for following up the recurrence. the aim of this study was to assess the correlation between breast ...

We read with the great interest the recent publication on a second trigeminal CGRP receptor by Walker et al. The authors convincingly present the presence of a functional noncanonical CGRP receptor (AMY1) at neuronal sites in the trigeminal system. The presence of a second CGRP receptor has been debated and although it is not yet recognized by IUPHAR, several reports have previously suggested t...

ERRgamma has 4 coding and 1 (presumed) non-coding transcript variants. ERRgamma transcript variant 1 (NCBI, NM_001438) is the longest isoform, while ERRgamma transcript variant 2 (NM_206594) utilizes an alternate 5' UTR and lacks the first 23 amino acids of the coding sequence of variant 1 (Heard et al., 2000). In 2006, a third splice variant (ERRgamma3, NM_206595) was identified (Kojo et al., ...

INTRODUCTION: Telcagepant (MK-0974) is a novel, orally active and selective CGRP receptor antagonist being investigated for acute treatment of migraine. Early clinical data suggested greater than dose proportional increases in exposure following oral administration. The aim of the present studies was to definitively characterize the oral and IV dose proportionality of telcagepant. METHODS: Heal...

This study examined the effects of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on synaptic transmission in a pontine slice containing the parabrachial nucleus (PBN). Stimulation of the ventral, external lateral portion of the PBN elicited glutamate-mediated EPSCs in cells recorded using the nystatin perforated-patch recording technique in the external lateral, external medial, a...
