Complexity in cancer stem cells and tumor evolution: towards precision medicine
Caterina A. M. La Porta, Stefano Zapperi
In this review, we discuss recent advances on the plasticity of cancer stem cells and highlight their relevance to understand the metastatic process and to guide therapeutic interv…
Conformational mechanism for the stability of microtubule-kinetochore attachments
Zsolt Bertalan, Caterina A. M. La Porta, Helder Maiato +1
Regulating the stability of microtubule(MT)-kinetochore attachments is fundamental to avoiding mitotic errors and ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division. While b…
