Characterisation of CCT271850, a selective, oral and potent MPS1 inhibitor, used to directly measure in vivo MPS1 inhibition vs therapeutic efficacy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-25)BACKGROUND: The main role of the cell cycle is to enable error-free DNA replication, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. One of the best characterised checkpoint pathways is the spindle assembly checkpoint, which ... -
Characterisation of fibrosis in chemically-induced rat mammary carcinomas using multi-modal endogenous contrast MRI on a 1.5T clinical platform.
(SPRINGER, 2018-04-01)OBJECTIVES: To determine the ability of multi-parametric, endogenous contrast MRI to detect and quantify fibrosis in a chemically-induced rat model of mammary carcinoma. METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=18) were ... -
Characterisation of HRas local signal transduction networks using engineered site-specific exchange factors.
(2020-09)Ras GTPases convey signals from different types of membranes. At these locations, different Ras isoforms, interactors and regulators generate different biochemical signals and biological outputs. The study of Ras ... -
Characterisation of immunoparesis in newly diagnosed myeloma and its impact on progression-free and overall survival in both old and recent myeloma trials.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)We measured immunosuppression at myeloma diagnosis and assessed the impact on survival in 5826 UK myeloma trial patients. Polyclonal immunoglobulin levels were below normal in 85% of patients and above normal in only 0.4% ... -
Characterisation of Prostate Lesions Using Transrectal Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) Ultrasound Imaging: A Systematic Review.
(MDPI, 2021-01-02)BACKGROUND: ultrasound-based shear wave elastography (SWE) can non-invasively assess prostate tissue stiffness. This systematic review aims to evaluate SWE for the detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and compare diagnostic ... -
Characterisation of RELA dynamics in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-07-06)The NF-kB transcription factor RELA is a master regulator of the immune response and cell survival. Numerous studies have determined the parameters and configuration of single cell RELA translocation dynamics, with various ... -
Characterisation of the attenuation properties of 3D-printed tungsten for use in gamma camera collimation.
(SPRINGER, 2019-01-07)BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to characterise the attenuation properties of 3D-printed tungsten and to assess the feasibility for its use in gamma camera collimator manufacture. METHOD: 3D-printed tungsten disks ... -
Characterisation of the immune-related transcriptome in resected biliary tract cancers.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-11-01)UNLABELLED: Although biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are known to have an inflammatory component, a detailed characterisation of immune-related transcripts has never been performed. In these studies, nCounter PanCancer Immune ... -
Characterisation of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells Isolated from Pleural Effusions.
(KARGER, 2016-01-01)OBJECTIVES: We hypothesised that it was possible to quantify phosphorylation of important nodes in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway in cancer cells isolated from pleural effusions of patients with non-small ... -
Characterisation of the Stromal Microenvironment in Lobular Breast Cancer.
(MDPI, 2022-02-11)Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer, and it exhibits a number of clinico-pathological characteristics distinct from the more common invasive ductal carcinoma ... -
Characterisation of tumour microenvironment remodelling following oncogene inhibition in preclinical studies with imaging mass cytometry.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-10-08)Mouse models are critical in pre-clinical studies of cancer therapy, allowing dissection of mechanisms through chemical and genetic manipulations that are not feasible in the clinical setting. In studies of the tumour ... -
Characterising spatial heterogeneity of multiple myeloma in high resolution by whole body magnetic resonance imaging: Towards macro-phenotype driven patient management.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-01-01)Diagnosis of patients suspected of multiple myeloma requires a combination of serological and biochemical tests, bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and/or bone marrow trephine (BMT) biopsies as well as complementary information ... -
Characterising transcriptomic and immune heterogeneity in aggressive invasive lobular breast cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-01-16)Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer (BC) accounting for 10-15% of all BCs. It is a unique disease entity with distinct histological appearances, molecular ... -
Characteristics and predictors of acute and chronic post-COVID syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
