Emerging functions of the <scp>EGFR</scp> in cancer

Sara Sigismund, Daniele Avanzato, Letizia Lanzetti · 10 Nov 2017

The physiological function of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is to regulate epithelial tissue development and homeostasis. In pathological settings, mostly in lung and breast cancer and in glioblastoma, the EGFR is a driver of tumorigenesis. Inappropriate activation of the EGFR in cancer mainly results from amplification and point mutations at the genomic locus,…

Deconstructing the molecular portraits of breast cancer

Aleix Prat, Charles M. Perou · 24 Nov 2010

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease in terms of histology, therapeutic response, dissemination patterns to distant sites, and patient outcomes. Global gene expression analyses using high-throughput technologies have helped to explain much of this heterogeneity and provided important new classifications of cancer patients. In the last decade, genomic studies have established five breast cancer intrinsic…

ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes--application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts.

Monique Gardes, Thomas D. Bruns · 30 Mar 1993

We have designed two taxon-selective primers for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit. These primers, ITS1-F and ITS4-B, were intended to be specific to fungi and basidiomycetes, respectively. We have tested the specificity of these primers against 13 species of ascomycetes, 14 of basidiomycetes, and 15 of plants. Our…

MicroRNA and cancer

Martin Jansson, Anders H. Lund · 9 Oct 2012

With the advent of next generation sequencing techniques a previously unknown world of non-coding RNA molecules have been discovered. Non-coding RNA transcripts likely outnumber the group of protein coding sequences and hold promise of many new discoveries and mechanistic explanations for essential biological phenomena and pathologies. The best characterized non-coding RNA family consists in humans…

The role of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in human cancer

Santiago Ropero, Manel Esteller · 7 Mar 2007

The balance of histone acetylation and deacetylation is an epigenetic layer with a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. Histone acetylation induced by histone acetyl transferases (HATs) is associated with gene transcription, while histone hypoacetylation induced by histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity is associated with gene silencing. Altered expression and mutations of genes that…

Molecular Oncology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Molecular Oncology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Molecular Oncology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Molecular Oncology use?
Molecular Oncology uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Molecular Oncology 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Molecular Oncology?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Molecular Oncology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Molecular Oncology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Molecular Oncology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Molecular Oncology?
Molecular Oncology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Molecular Oncology template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Molecular Oncology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Molecular Oncology template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Molecular Oncology template cost?
You can start writing in the Molecular Oncology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Molecular Oncology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
