A clinical, molecular genetics and pathological study of a FTDP-17 family with a heterozygous splicing variant c.823-10G>T at the intron 9/exon 10 of the MAPT gene.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-10-01)We report the first clinical-radiological-genetic-molecular-pathological study of a kindred with c.823-10G>T MAPT intronic variant (rs63749974) associated with frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome ... -
A closed conformation of the Caenorhabditis elegans separase-securin complex.
(ROYAL SOC, 2016-04-13)The protease separase plays a key role in sister chromatid disjunction and centriole disengagement. To maintain genomic stability, separase activity is strictly regulated by binding of an inhibitory protein, securin. Despite ... -
A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component
(2021-01-13)Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. ... -

A comparison between cobalt and linear accelerator-based treatment plans for conformal and intensity-modulated radiotherapy
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2008-04)The simplicity of cobalt units gives them the advantage ofreduced maintenance, running costs and downtime when compared with linear accelerators. However, treatments carried out on such units are typically limited to simple ... -
A comparison of machine learning methods for predicting recurrence and death after curative-intent radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer: Development and validation of multivariable clinical prediction models.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-03-03)BACKGROUND: Surveillance is universally recommended for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with curative-intent radiotherapy. High-quality evidence to inform optimal surveillance strategies is lacking. ... -
A comparison of the diagnostic value of MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in suspected spondylodiscitis.
(2017-02)Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing ... -
A Compendium of Co-regulated Protein Complexes in Breast Cancer Reveals Collateral Loss Events.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-10-25)Protein complexes are responsible for the bulk of activities within the cell, but how their behavior and abundance varies across tumors remains poorly understood. By combining proteomic profiles of breast tumors with a ... -
A comprehensive examination of mental health in patients with head and neck cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2024-04-30)BACKGROUND: Patients with head and neck cancer present particularly considerable levels of emotional distress. However, the actual rates of clinically relevant mental health symptoms and disorders among this population ... -
A comprehensive map of molecular drug targets.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-01)The success of mechanism-based drug discovery depends on the definition of the drug target. This definition becomes even more important as we try to link drug response to genetic variation, understand stratified clinical ... -
A comprehensive model for heat-induced radio-sensitisation.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-07-05)Combined radiotherapy (RT) and hyperthermia (HT) treatments may improve treatment outcome by heat induced radio-sensitisation. We propose an empirical cell survival model (AlphaR model) to describe this multimodality ... -
A comprehensive model for the proliferation-quiescence decision in response to endogenous DNA damage in human cells.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2018-03-06)Human cells that suffer mild DNA damage can enter a reversible state of growth arrest known as quiescence. This decision to temporarily exit the cell cycle is essential to prevent the propagation of mutations, and most ... -
A computerized volumetric segmentation method applicable to multi-centre MRI data to support computer-aided breast tissue analysis, density assessment and lesion localization.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2017-01-01)Density assessment and lesion localization in breast MRI require accurate segmentation of breast tissues. A fast, computerized algorithm for volumetric breast segmentation, suitable for multi-centre data, has been developed, ... -
A convolutional neural network for contouring metastatic lymph nodes on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images for assessment of radiotherapy response.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-07-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Retrieving quantitative parameters from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), e.g. for early assessment of radiotherapy treatment response, necessitates contouring regions of interest, which is ... -
A critical evaluation of the approaches to targeted protein degradation for drug discovery.
(Elsevier BV, 2019-04-03)There is a great deal of excitement around the concept of targeting proteins for degradation as an alternative to conventional inhibitory small molecules and antibodies. Protein degradation can be undertaken by bifunctional ... -
A Cross-Cancer Genetic Association Analysis of the DNA Repair and DNA Damage Signaling Pathways for Lung, Ovary, Prostate, Breast, and Colorectal Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-01-01)BACKGROUND: DNA damage is an established mediator of carcinogenesis, although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified few significant loci. This cross-cancer site, pooled analysis was performed to increase ... -
A Cross-Machine Comparison of Shear-Wave Speed Measurements Using 2D Shear-Wave Elastography in the Normal Female Breast
