(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-03-01)Mutations in NBEAL2, the gene encoding the scaffolding protein Nbeal2, are causal of gray platelet syndrome (GPS), a rare recessive bleeding disorder characterized by platelets lacking α-granules and progressive marrow ... -
NCLs and ER: A stressful relationship
(2017)The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with variable age of onset, characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent ceroid lipopigments. ... -
Near-infrared dual bioluminescence imaging in mouse models of cancer using infraluciferin.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2019-10-15)Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is ubiquitous in scientific research for the sensitive tracking of biological processes in small animal models. However, due to the attenuation of visible light by tissue, and the limited set ... -

(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-05-01)Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) is a novel cancer-targeted treatment effected by a chemical conjugation between a photosensitiser (e.g. the NIR phthalocyanine dye IRDye700DX) and a cancer-targeting moiety (e.g. ... -
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy targeting EGFR-Shedding new light on glioblastoma treatment.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)Glioblastomas (GBMs) are high-grade brain tumors, differentially driven by alterations (amplification, deletion or missense mutations) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), that carry a poor prognosis of just ... -
Negative selection in tumor genome evolution acts on essential cellular functions and the immunopeptidome.
(BMC, 2018-05-31)BACKGROUND: Natural selection shapes cancer genomes. Previous studies used signatures of positive selection to identify genes driving malignant transformation. However, the contribution of negative selection against somatic ... -
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves survival in patients with oesophageal mucinous adenocarcinoma: Post-hoc analysis of the UK MRC OE02 and OE05 trials.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-07-01)BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinoma with more than 50% extracellular mucin is a relatively rare histological subtype of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas. The clinical impact of extracellular mucin in oesophageal adenocarcinoma ... -
Neoadjuvant cisplatin and fluorouracil versus epirubicin, cisplatin, and capecitabine followed by resection in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma (UK MRC OE05): an open-label, randomised phase 3 trial.
(2017-09)Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery improves survival compared with surgery alone for patients with oesophageal cancer. The OE05 trial assessed whether increasing the duration and intensity of neoadjuvant ... -
Neoadjuvant Intravenous Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Therapy Promotes Anticancer Immunity in Patients.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-06-03)Improving the chances of curing patients with cancer who have had surgery to remove metastatic sites of disease is a priority area for cancer research. Pexa-Vec (Pexastimogene Devacirepvec; JX-594, TG6006) is a principally ... -
Neoadjuvant Therapy Induces a Potent Immune Response to Sarcoma, Dominated by Myeloid and B Cells.
<h4>Purpose</h4>To characterize changes in the soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) tumor immune microenvironment induced by standard neoadjuvant therapy with the goal of informing neoadjuvant immunotherapy trial design.<h4>Experimental ... -
Neural Precursor-Derived Pleiotrophin Mediates Subventricular Zone Invasion by Glioma.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-08-24)The lateral ventricle subventricular zone (SVZ) is a frequent and consequential site of pediatric and adult glioma spread, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating this are poorly understood. We demonstrate that ... -
Neuregulin-3 regulates epithelial progenitor cell positioning and specifies mammary phenotype.
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2014-11-15)Mutation of Neuregulin-3 (Nrg3) results in defective embryonic mammary gland development. Here, we investigate functions of Nrg3 signaling in embryonic mammary morphogenesis. Nrg3 regulates the distribution of epithelial ... -
Neuroblastoma Arginase Activity Creates an Immunosuppressive Microenvironment That Impairs Autologous and Engineered Immunity.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-08-01)Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, and survival remains poor for patients with advanced disease. Novel immune therapies are currently in development, but clinical outcomes have not ... -
