SF3B1 mutations constitute a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2015-03-01)Mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in RNA splicing have been found to occur at relatively high frequencies in several tumour types including myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, uveal melanoma, ... -
SGLT1 is required for the survival of triple-negative breast cancer cells via potentiation of EGFR activity.
(2019-09)Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), an essential active glucose transport protein that helps maintain high intracellular glucose levels, was previously shown to interact with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); ... -
Shared heritability and functional enrichment across six solid cancers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-25)Quantifying the genetic correlation between cancers can provide important insights into the mechanisms driving cancer etiology. Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total ... -
Shedding a Light on the Challenges of Adolescents and Young Adults with Rhabdomyosarcoma.
(MDPI, 2022-12-09)Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a typical tumour of childhood but can occur at any age. Several studies have reported that adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with RMS have poorer survival than do younger patients. This ... -
SHH pathway inhibition is protumourigenic in adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2019-03-01)Pharmacological inhibition of the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway can be beneficial against certain cancers but detrimental in others. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a relevant pituitary tumour, affecting children ... -
Shieldin complex promotes DNA end-joining and counters homologous recombination in BRCA1-null cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)BRCA1 deficiencies cause breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers, and render tumours hypersensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. To understand the resistance mechanisms, we conducted whole-genome ... -
SHOC2 phosphatase-dependent RAF dimerization mediates resistance to MEK inhibition in RAS-mutant cancers.
(2019-06-10)Targeted inhibition of the ERK-MAPK pathway, upregulated in a majority of human cancers, has been hindered in the clinic by drug resistance and toxicity. The MRAS-SHOC2-PP1 (SHOC2 phosphatase) complex plays a key role in ... -
Short tandem repeat profiling provides an international reference standard for human cell lines
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2001-07-03)Cross-contamination between cell lines is a longstanding and frequent cause of scientific misrepresentation. Estimates from national testing services indicate that up to 36% of cell lines are of a different origin or species ... -
Short-term presurgical treatment for all?

Short-Term Wearable Sensors for In-Hospital Medical and Surgical Patients: Mixed Methods Analysis of Patient Perspectives.
(2021-04-22)Background Continuous vital sign monitoring using wearable sensors may enable early detection of patient deterioration and sepsis.Objective This study aimed to explore patient experiences with wearable sensor technology ... -
Shortwave Infrared Imaging Enables High-Contrast Fluorescence-Guided Surgery in Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-06-15)UNLABELLED: Fluorescence-guided surgery is set to play a pivotal role in the intraoperative management of pediatric tumors. Shortwave infrared imaging (SWIR) has advantages over conventional near-infrared I (NIR-I) imaging ... -
Should tissue structure suppress or amplify selection to minimize cancer risk?
(2016-08-01)Background: It has been frequently argued that tissues evolved to suppress the accumulation of growth enhancing cancer inducing mutations. A prominent example is the hierarchical structure of tissues with high cell turnover, ... -
Should women under 50 be screened for breast cancer?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2004-08-02)Despite some controversy in recent years, the majority of experts agree on the evidence for effectiveness of breast screening by mammography for women aged 50 years and above, but for those under 50 years, the picture is ... -
Signal Integration by the IκB Protein Pickle Shapes Drosophila Innate Host Defense.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-09-14)Pattern recognition receptors are activated following infection and trigger transcriptional programs important for host defense. Tight regulation of NF-κB activation is critical to avoid detrimental and misbalanced responses. ... -
Signalling involving MET and FAK supports cell division independent of the activity of the cell cycle-regulating CDK4/6 kinases.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-25)Deregulation of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) is highly prevalent in cancer; yet, inhibitors against these kinases are currently used only in restricted tumour contexts. The extent to which cancers depend on ... -
Signalling pathways implicated in early mammary gland morphogenesis and breast cancer.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2006-08-01)Specification of mammary epithelial cell fate occurs during embryogenesis as cells aggregate to form the mammary anlage. Within the embryonic mammary bud, a population of epithelial cells exists that will subsequently ... -
Signatures of positive selection reveal a universal role of chromatin modifiers as cancer driver genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-10-13)Tumors are composed of an evolving population of cells subjected to tissue-specific selection, which fuels tumor heterogeneity and ultimately complicates cancer driver gene identification. Here, we integrate cancer cell ... -
Signatures of TOP1 transcription-associated mutagenesis in cancer and germline.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-24)The mutational landscape is shaped by many processes. Genic regions are vulnerable to mutation but are preferentially protected by transcription-coupled repair1. In microorganisms, transcription has been demonstrated to ... -
