  • Rho A and Rac1 
    Salloum, Gilbert; Jaafar, Leila; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2020-05-01)
    Cells detect external stimuli through cell-surface receptors. In cases where the stimulus is a cytokine or a growth factor, the cell responds by inducing modifications in the actin cytoskeleton. These changes are mediated ...
  • The Role of Rho GTPases in Motility and Invasion of Glioblastoma Cells 
    Al-Koussa, Houssam; El Atat, Oula; Jaafar, Leila; Tashjian, Hagop; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2020-05-01)
    Astrocytomas are primary malignant brain tumors that originate from astrocytes. Grade IV astrocytoma or glioblastoma is a highly invasive tumor that occur within the brain parenchyma. The Rho family of small GTPases, which ...
  • The Role of Rho GTPases in VEGF Signaling in Cancer Cells 
    El Baba, Nada; Farran, Mohammad; Abi Khalil, Elie; Jaafar, Leila; Fakhoury, Isabelle; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2020-05-01)
    Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) consist of five molecules (VEGFA through D as well as placental growth factor) which are crucial for regulating key cellular and tissue functions. The role of VEGF and its ...
