The WNT10B Network Is Associated with Survival and Metastases in Chemoresistant Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) commonly develops resistance to chemotherapy, yet markers predictive of chemoresistance in this disease are lacking. Here, we define WNT10B-dependent biomarkers for β-CATENIN/HMGA2/EZH2 signaling predictive of reduced relapse-free survival. Concordant expression of HMGA2 and EZH2 proteins is observed in - transgenic mice during metastasis, and haploinsufficiency decreased EZH2 protein expression, repressing lung metastasis.

Species diversity, antifungal susceptibility and phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of Exophiala spp. infecting patients in different medical centres in Brazil.

The Exophiala genus is responsible for many superficial and invasive infections resulting from black fungi. Identification of Exophiala at the species level is based on morphological observations complemented by molecular tests. The aim of this study was to identify 23 clinical isolates of Exophiala spp.
