Ambiguity in a masculine world: Being a BRCA1/2 mutation carrier and a man with prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)OBJECTIVE: Increased risk of prostate cancer (PCa) is observed in men with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. Sex and gender are key determinants of health and disease although unequal care exists between the sexes. Stereotypical male ... -
Amino acid dependence in acute myeloid leukaemia
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease which remains curable in only a minority of patients. Outcome is dismal in the subgroup with adverse genetic features. Amino acid (AA) depletion is a therapeutic ... -
Amivantamab Compared with Real-World Physician's Choice after Platinum-Based Therapy from a Pan-European Chart Review of Patients with Lung Cancer and Activating EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations.
(MDPI, 2023-11-08)Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) Exon 20 insertions (Exon20ins) at the second line and beyond (2L+) have an unmet need for new treatment. Amivantamab, ... -
Amivantamab for the treatment of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-01-02)INTRODUCTION: Amivantamab is a monoclonal bispecific anti-EGFR-MET antibody that is the first targeted therapy to be approved for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations ... -
Amivantamab plus chemotherapy with and without lazertinib in EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC after disease progression on osimertinib: primary results from the phase III MARIPOSA-2 study.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-10-23)BACKGROUND: Amivantamab plus carboplatin-pemetrexed (chemotherapy) with and without lazertinib demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with refractory epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small-cell ... -
AMPK-independent inhibition of human macrophage ER stress response by AICAR.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-08-26)Obesity-associated insulin resistance is driven by inflammatory processes in response to metabolic overload. Obesity-associated inflammation can be recapitulated in cell culture by exposing macrophages to saturated fatty ... -
Amplitude based segmentation of ultrasound echoes for attenuation coefficient estimation.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-03-01)In vivo ultrasound attenuation coefficient measurements are of interest as they can provide insight into tissue pathology. They are also needed so that measurements of the tissue's frequency dependent ultrasound backscattering ... -
An alternative synthesis of Vandetanib (Caprelsa™) via a microwave accelerated Dimroth rearrangement.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2017-04-12)Vandetanib is an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of cancer. The current synthesis proceeds via an unstable 4-chloroquinazoline, using harsh reagents, in addition to requiring sequential ... -
An analysis of health-related quality of life in the phase III PROSELICA and FIRSTANA studies assessing cabazitaxel in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-04-01)BACKGROUND: Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are living longer, therefore optimizing health-related quality of life (HRQL), as well as survival outcomes, is important for optimal patient ... -
An antibody-drug conjugate with intracellular drug release properties showing specific cytotoxicity against CD7-positive cells.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2021-09-01)Refractory T cell acute leukaemias that no longer respond to treatment would benefit from new modalities that target T cell-specific surface proteins. T cell associated surface proteins (the surfaceome) offer possible ... -
An atypical LIR motif within UBA5 (ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 5) interacts with GABARAP proteins and mediates membrane localization of UBA5.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2019-04-16)Short linear motifs, known as LC3-interacting regions (LIRs), interact with mactoautophagy/autophagy modifiers (Atg8/LC3/GABARAP proteins) via a conserved universal mechanism. Typically, this includes the occupancy of 2 ... -
An E2-ubiquitin thioester-driven approach to identify substrates modified with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecules.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-14)Covalent modifications of proteins with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecules are instrumental to many biological processes. However, identifying the E3 ligase responsible for these modifications remains a major bottleneck ... -
An ecological measure of immune-cancer colocalization as a prognostic factor for breast cancer.
(BMC, 2015-09-22)INTRODUCTION: Abundance of immune cells has been shown to have prognostic and predictive significance in many tumor types. Beyond abundance, the spatial organization of immune cells in relation to cancer cells may also ... -

An emerging role for IQGAP1 in tight junction control.
(2018-09)IQGAP1 is a scaffold protein involved in the assembly of adherens junctions. Our work has recently revealed a novel role for IQGAP1 in the regulation of tight junctions (TJ) through differential recruitment of claudins to ... -
An enhanced genetic model of relapsed IGH-translocated multiple myeloma evolutionary dynamics.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-14)Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) die from progressive disease after relapse. To advance our understanding of MM evolution mechanisms, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 80 IGH-translocated tumour-normal newly ... -
An evaluation of self-perceived knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of UK oncologists about LGBTQ+ patients with cancer.
