Downstream of the HOX genes: Explaining conflicting tumour suppressor and oncogenic functions in cancer
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Cancer"
DOI: 10.1002/ijc.33949
Abstract: The HOX genes are a highly conserved group of transcription factors that have key roles in early development, but which are also highly expressed in most cancers. Many studies have found strong associative relationships between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sctm.12555
Abstract: 6 Introduction Although it is known that fetal hematopoiesis and development of lymphocyte subsets, such as natural killer (NK) cells occur in distinct waves, resulting in a restricted set of hematopoietic functions, it remains unclear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-81472-5
Abstract: Hox genes are early determinants of cell identity along the anterior–posterior body axis across bilaterians. Several late non-homeotic functions of Hox genes have emerged in a variety of processes involved in organogenesis in several organisms,… read more here.
