Insulin-Like Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Breast Cancer Cell Growth: Focus on Endocrine Resistant Disease by Kallirroi Voudouri, Aikaterini Berdiaki, Maria Tzardi, George N. Tzanakakis, Dragana Nikitovic

“…It is well established that the endogenous synthesis of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) polypeptide growth factors are closely correlated to malignant transformation and all the steps of the breast cancer metastatic cascade. Numerous studies have demonstrated that both estrogens and growth factors stimulate the proliferation of steroid-dependent tumor cells, and that the interaction between these signaling pathways occurs at several levels. …”

Diffusion rate determines balance between extinction and proliferationin birth-death processes by Hilla Behar, Alexandra Agranovich, Yoram Louzoun

“…We here study spatially extended catalyst induced growth processes.This type of process exists in multiple domains of biology, rangingfrom ecology (nutrients and growth), through immunology (antigensand lymphocytes) to molecular biology (signaling molecules initiatingsignaling cascades). Such systems often exhibit an extinction-proliferationtransition, where varying some parameters can lead to either extinctionor survival of the reactants.…”
