      Genetic variation of DKK3 may modify renal disease severity in ADPKD 

      Liu, M.; Shi, S.; Senthilnathan, S.; Yu, J.; Wu, E.; Bergmann, C.; Zerres, K.; Bogdanova, N.; Coto, E.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D.; Pierides, Alkis M.; Demetriou, Kyproula; Devuyst, O.; Gitomer, B.; Laakso, M.; Lumiaho, A.; Lamnissou, Klea; Magistroni, R.; Parfrey, P.; Breuning, M.; Peters, D. J. M.; Torra, R.; Winearls, C. G.; Torres, V. E.; Harris, Peter C.; Paterson, A. D.; Pei, Y. (2010)
      Significant variation in the course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) within families suggests the presence of effect modifiers. Recent studies of the variation within families harboring PKD1 mutations ...

      The interplay between DSL proteins and ubiquitin ligases in Notch signaling 

      Pitsouli, Chrysoula; Delidakis, Christos (2005)
      Lateral inhibition is a pattern refining process that generates single neural precursors from a field of equipotent cells and is mediated via Notch signaling. Of the two Notch ligands Delta and Serrate, only the former was ...

      A miR-1207-5p binding site polymorphism abolishes regulation of HBEGF and is associated with disease severity in CFHR5 nephropathy 

      Papagregoriou, Gregory N.; Erguler, K.; Dweep, H.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Koupepidou, P.; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Pierides, Alkis M.; Gretz, N.; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2012)
      Heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HBEGF) is expressed in podocytes and was shown to play a role in glomerular physiology. MicroRNA binding sites on the 3′UTR of HBEGF were predicted using miRWalk algorithm and ...

      Role of conserved intracellular motifs in Serrate signalling, cis-inhibition and endocytosis 

      Glittenberg, M.; Pitsouli, Chrysoula; Garvey, C.; Delidakis, Christos; Bray, S. (2006)
      Notch is the receptor in a signalling pathway that operates in a diverse spectrum of developmental processes. Its ligands (e.g. Serrate) are transmembrane proteins whose signalling competence is regulated by the ...
