EGFR overexpression in SK may be a result of metabolic disorders rather than a diagnostic sign of malignant neoplasms of the internal organs. The increased EGFR expression revealed in patients with SK and concomitant DM2 is caused by insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, in which the dysregulation of insulin signal transmission into the cell leads to changes in EGF synthesis and signaling pathway that regulates cell proliferation and growth.
Immunofluorescence antigen mapping is an integral part of the comprehensive morphological diagnosis of CEB, acting as an intermediate between the morphological verification of CEB diagnosis and the targeted search for mutations by a molecular genetic method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
