Deciphering the role of the protein phosphatase EYA4 in preventing genomic instability and breast cancer development

De La Pena Avalos, Barbara L. (2019) Deciphering the role of the protein phosphatase EYA4 in preventing genomic instability and breast cancer development. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research used a multidisciplinary approach to decipher the function of the atypical protein phosphatase EYA4. By combining molecular and cell biology approaches and in vivo validation in mice, this project investigated the potential novel role of EYA4 in the maintenance of genomic integrity and its implication in breast cancer development. In doing so, EYA4 was identified as a potential novel breast cancer gene that is essential to maintain genomic stability and plays an important role in DNA damage repair. These findings open up new possibilities for cancer diagnostics and anticancer therapeutic approaches.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
