      Heat shock protein (Hsp) synthesis is upregulated in a wide range of cancers to provide the appropriate environment for tumor progression. The Hsp110 and Hsp70 families have been associated to cancer cell survival and ...
    • Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics Workflows in Cancer Research: The Relevance of Choosing the Right Steps 

      Carrillo Rodriguez, Paula; Selheim, Frode; Valladares, Maria del Carmen Hernandez (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-16)
      The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of proteome changes that condition cancer development can be achieved with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). LC-MS-based proteomics strategies are carried out ...
    • Mutant IDH1 Differently Affects Redox State and Metabolism in Glial Cells of Normal and Tumor Origin 

      Biedermann, Julia; Preussler, Mathias; Conde, Marina; Peitzsch, Mirko; Richter, Susan; Wiedemuth, Ralf; Abou-El-Ardat, Khalil; Krüger, Alexander; Meinhardt, Mathias; Schackert, Gabriele; Leenders, William P.J.; Herold-Mende, Christel; Niclou, Simone Pierrette; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Eisenhofer, Graeme; Temme, Achim; Seifert, Michael; Kunz-Schughart, Leoni A.; Schröck, Evelin; Klink, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-16)
      IDH1R132H (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1) mutations play a key role in the development of low-grade gliomas. IDH1wt converts isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate while reducing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), ...
