Evaluating trastuzumab in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer (2020)
Journal Article
Jaques, R., Xu, S., & Matsakas, A. (2020). Evaluating trastuzumab in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer. Histology and Histopathology, 35(10), 1059-1075. https://doi.org/10.14670/HH-18-221

© 2020, Histology and Histopathology. All rights reserved. The transmembrane oncoprotein HER2 is encoded by ERBB2 gene and overexpressed in around 20% of invasive breast cancers. It can be specifically targeted by Trastuzumab (Herceptin®), a humanise... Read More about Evaluating trastuzumab in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer.

Diminution in sperm quantity and quality in mouse models of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy induced by a myostatin-based muscle growth-promoting intervention (2020)
Journal Article
Vaughan, D., Kretz, O., Alqallaf, A., Mitchell, R., von der Heide, J., Vaiyapuri, S., Matsakas, A., Pasternack, A., Collins-Hooper, H., Ritvos, O., Ballesteros, R., Huber, T. B., Amthor, H., Mukherjee, A., & Patel, K. (in press). Diminution in sperm quantity and quality in mouse models of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy induced by a myostatin-based muscle growth-promoting intervention. European Journal of Translational Myology, 30(2), 276-285. https://doi.org/10.4081/ejtm.0.8904

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a devastating disease caused by the absence of a functional rod-shaped cytoplasmic protein called dystrophin. Several avenues are being developed aimed to restore dystrophin expression in boys affected by this X-linked...

Quantitative Redox Biology of Exercise (2020)
Journal Article
Nikolaidis, M. G., Margaritelis, N. V., & Matsakas, A. (2020). Quantitative Redox Biology of Exercise. International journal of sports medicine, 41(10), 633-645. https://doi.org/10.1055/a-1157-9043

© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York. Biology is rich in claims that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are involved in every biological process and disease. However, many quantitative aspects of redox biology remain elusive. The important... Read More about Quantitative Redox Biology of Exercise.
