      Ibáñez-Costa, Alejandro; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D.; Rivero-Cortés, Esther; Rincón-Fernández, David; Nelson, Richard; Beltrán, Manuel; Riva, Andrés de la; Japón, Miguel A.; Venegas-Moreno, Eva; García-Arnés, Juan A.; Soto-Moreno, Alfonso; Morgan, Jennifer; Tsomaia, Natia; Culler, Michael D.; Diéguez, Carlos; Castaño, Justo P.; Luque, Raúl M.; Gálvez-Moreno, M. Ángeles (Nature.com, 2015)
      Pituitary adenomas comprise a heterogeneous subset of pathologies causing serious comorbidities, which would benefit from identification of novel, common molecular/cellular biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The ghrelin ...
    • Molecular Characterization of Growth Hormone-producing Tumors in the GC Rat Model of Acromegaly 

      Martín, Juan Francisco; Muñoz-Bravo, José L.; Ibáñez-Costa, Alejandro; Fernández-Maza, Laura; Balcerzyk, Marcin; Leal Campanario, Rocío; Luque, Raúl M.; Castaño, Justo P.; Venegas-Moreno, Eva; Soto-Moreno, Alfonso; Leal-Cerro, Alfonso; Cano, David A. (Nature Research, 2015)
      Acromegaly is a disorder resulting from excessive production of growth hormone (GH) and consequent increase of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), most frequently caused by pituitary adenomas. Elevated GH and IGF-I levels ...
    • Splicing Machinery is Dysregulated in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors and is Associated with Aggressiveness Features 

      Vázquez Borrego, María del Carmen; Fuentes-Fayos, Antonio C.; Venegas-Moreno, Eva; Rivero-Cortés, Esther; Dios, Elena; Moreno Moreno, Paloma; Madrazo-Atutxa, Ainara; Remón, Pablo; Solivera, Juan; Wildemberg, Luiz E.; Kasuki, Leandro; López-Fernández, Judith M.; Gadelha, Mônica R.; Gálvez-Moreno, M. Ángeles; Soto-Moreno, Alfonso; Gahete Ortiz, Manuel D.; Castaño, Justo P.; Luque, Raúl M. (MDPI, 2019)
      Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) constitute approximately 15% of all brain tumors, and most have a sporadic origin. Recent studies suggest that altered alternative splicing and, consequently, appearance of aberrant ...
