Lineage-Independent Tumors in Bilateral Neuroblastoma.
(2020-11)Childhood tumors that occur synchronously in different anatomical sites usually represent metastatic disease. However, such tumors can be independent neoplasms. We investigated whether cases of bilateral neuroblastoma ... -
LINGO-1 is a New Therapy Target and Biomarker for Ewing Sarcoma.
(2017-01-05)Ewing sarcoma is a predominantly paediatric cancer with a high rate of metastasis and reoccurrence. A new surface marker called LINGO-1 was recently identified on Ewing tumours as a potential target for antibody-mediated ... -
Linkage of the CHHiP randomised controlled trial with primary care data: a study investigating ways of supplementing cancer trials and improving evidence-based practice.
(BMC, 2020-07-25)BACKGROUND: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evidence-based practice. However, RCTs can have limitations. For example, translation of findings into practice can be limited by design features, ... -
Linking CHHiP prostate cancer RCT with GP records: A study proposal to investigate the effect of co-morbidities and medications on long-term symptoms and radiotherapy-related toxicity.
(Elsevier BV, 2017-06-27)BACKGROUND: Patients receiving cancer treatment often have one or more co-morbid conditions that are treated pharmacologically. Co-morbidities are recorded in clinical trials usually only at baseline. However, co-morbidities ... -
Lipid-mRNA Nanoparticle Designed to Enhance Intracellular Delivery Mediated by Shock Waves.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2019-03-20)Cellular membranes are, in general, impermeable to macromolecules (herein referred to as macrodrugs, e.g., recombinant protein, expression plasmids, or mRNA), which is a major barrier for clinical translation of macrodrug-based ... -
Liquid biopsy for children with central nervous system tumours: Clinical integration and technical considerations.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-11-16)Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis has the potential to revolutionise the care of patients with cancer and is already moving towards standard of care in some adult malignancies. Evidence for the utility of cfDNA ... -
Lkb1 Deficiency Alters Goblet and Paneth Cell Differentiation in the Small Intestine
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-01)The Lkb1 tumour suppressor is a multitasking kinase participating in a range of physiological processes. We have determined the impact of Lkb1 deficiency on intestinal homeostasis, particularly focussing on secretory cell ... -
LKB1 is required for hepatic bile acid transport and canalicular membrane integrity in mice.
(2011-02)LKB1 is a 'master' protein kinase implicated in the regulation of metabolism, cell proliferation, cell polarity and tumorigenesis. However, the long-term role of LKB1 in hepatic function is unknown. In the present study, ... -
