Ki67 Is an Independent Predictor of Recurrence in the Largest Randomized Trial of 3 Radiation Fractionation Schedules in Localized Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-06-01)PURPOSE: To assess whether the cellular proliferation marker Ki67 provides prognostic information and predicts response to radiation therapy fractionation in patients with localized prostate tumors participating in a ... -
Ki67 Proliferation Index as a Tool for Chemotherapy Decisions During and After Neoadjuvant Aromatase Inhibitor Treatment of Breast Cancer: Results From the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z1031 Trial (Alliance).
(2017-04)Purpose To determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in estrogen receptor (ER) -positive primary breast cancer triaged to chemotherapy when the protein encoded by the MKI67 gene (Ki67) level was > 10% after 2 ... -
Kickstarting Immunity in Cold Tumours: Localised Tumour Therapy Combinations With Immune Checkpoint Blockade.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-10-18)Cancer patients with low or absent pre-existing anti-tumour immunity ("cold" tumours) respond poorly to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI). In order to render these patients susceptible to ICPI, initiation ... -
Kinetic energy of He atoms in liquid He-4-He-3 mixtures
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2003-12)Deep inelastic neutron scattering measurements on liquid He-3-He-4 mixtures in the normal phase have been performed on the VESUVIO spectrometer at the ISIS pulsed neutron source at exchanged wave vectors of about qsimilar ... -
Kinetic Optimization of Lysine-Targeting Covalent Inhibitors of HSP72.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2019-12-26)The covalent inhibition mechanism of action, which overcomes competition with high-affinity, high-abundance substrates of challenging protein targets, can deliver effective chemical probes and drugs. The success of this ... -
KIT-Associated Familial GIST Syndrome: Response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Implications for Risk Management.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-08-05)Sporadic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare tumors, with a median age at diagnosis of 60 years. Familial GISTs are very rare and typically associated with earlier onset, with an average age at diagnosis of 48 ... -
Klotho and the Treatment of Human Malignancies.
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)Klotho was first discovered as an anti-ageing protein linked to a number of age-related disease processes, including cardiovascular, renal, musculoskeletal, and neurodegenerative conditions. Emerging research has also ... -
Klotho: A Major Shareholder in Vascular Aging Enterprises.
(MDPI, 2019-09-19)Accelerated vascular aging is a condition that occurs as a complication of several highly prevalent inflammatory conditions such as chronic kidney disease, cancer, HIV infection and diabetes. Age-associated vascular ... -
KRAS and BRAF mutations in circulating tumour DNA from locally advanced rectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-23)There are limited data on circulating, cell-free, tumour (ct)DNA analysis in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Digital droplet (dd)PCR was used to investigate KRAS/BRAF mutations in ctDNA from baseline blood samples ... -
KRAS-specific inhibition using a DARPin binding to a site in the allosteric lobe.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-06-13)Inhibiting the RAS oncogenic protein has largely been through targeting the switch regions that interact with signalling effector proteins. Here, we report designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) macromolecules that ... -
Lab-on-chip assay of tumour markers and human papilloma virus for cervical cancer detection at the point-of-care.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-05-24)Cervical cancer affects over half a million people worldwide each year, the majority of whom are in resource-limited settings where cytology screening is not available. As persistent human papilloma virus (HPV) infections ... -
Labelled chemical probes for demonstrating direct target engagement in living systems.
(FUTURE SCI LTD, 2019-05-24)Demonstrating target engagement in living systems can help drive successful drug discovery. Target engagement and occupancy studies in cells confirm direct binding of a ligand to its intended target protein and provide the ... -
Lack of an association between gallstone disease and bilirubin levels with risk of colorectal cancer: a Mendelian randomisation analysis.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-03-16)BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies of the relationship between gallstone disease and circulating levels of bilirubin with risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) have been inconsistent. To address possible confounding ... -
Lack of association between modifiable exposures and glioma risk: a Mendelian randomization analysis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-10-30)BACKGROUND: The etiological basis of glioma is poorly understood. We have used genetic markers in a Mendelian randomization (MR) framework to examine if lifestyle, cardiometabolic, and inflammatory factors influence the ... -
The Lack of Dopamine Transporter Is Associated With Conditional Associative Learning Impairments and Striatal Proteomic Changes.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-03-18)Dopamine (DA) is critically involved in different functions of the central nervous system (CNS) including control of voluntary movement, affect, reward, sleep, and cognition. One of the key components of DA neurotransmission ... -
Landscape of somatic mutations in 560 breast cancer whole-genome sequences.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-06-02)We analysed whole-genome sequences of 560 breast cancers to advance understanding of the driver mutations conferring clonal advantage and the mutational processes generating somatic mutations. We found that 93 protein-coding ... -
Landscape of the Plasmodium Interactome Reveals Both Conserved and Species-Specific Functionality.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-08-06)Malaria represents a major global health issue, and the identification of new intervention targets remains an urgent priority. This search is hampered by more than one-third of the genes of malaria-causing Plasmodium ... -
Landscape of transcriptomic interactions between breast cancer and its microenvironment.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-15)Solid tumours comprise mixtures of tumour cells (TCs) and tumour-adjacent cells (TACs), and the intricate interconnections between these diverse populations shape the tumour's microenvironment. Despite this complexity, ... -
