The expression of the nucleostemin gene in ovarian tumors is closely correlated with origination, progression, and grading of tumors and may serve as a marker in estimating the malignancy of ovarian tumors. The overexpression of cyclin D1 might be correlated with nucleostemin expression. Nucleostemin may have an impact on the passage of cells through the G1/S checkpoint, and thus cell cycle progress, by regulating cyclin D1 expression.
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.
