Homeobox B13 G84E Mutation and Prostate Cancer Risk.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-05-01)BACKGROUND: The homeobox B13 (HOXB13) G84E mutation has been recommended for use in genetic counselling for prostate cancer (PCa), but the magnitude of PCa risk conferred by this mutation is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To obtain ... -
Homogeneous 2D and 3D alignment of cardiomyocyte in dilated cardiomyopathy revealed by intravital heart imaging.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-07-19)In contrast to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there has been reported no specific pattern of cardiomyocyte array in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), partially because lack of alignment assessment in a three-dimensional (3D) ... -

(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2023-08-07)OBJECTIVE: Olaparib plus bevacizumab maintenance therapy improves survival outcomes in women with newly diagnosed, advanced, high-grade ovarian cancer with a deficiency in homologous recombination. We report data from the ... -
Homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency and PARP inhibition activity in primary triple negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-05-29)Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) encompasses molecularly different subgroups, with a subgroup harboring evidence of defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. Here, within a phase 2 window clinical trial, RIO ... -
Hotspot SF3B1 mutations induce metabolic reprogramming and vulnerability to serine deprivation.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2019-08-08)Cancer-associated mutations in the spliceosome gene SF3B1 create a neomorphic protein that produces aberrant mRNA splicing in hundreds of genes, but the ensuing biologic and therapeutic consequences of this missplicing are ... -
How can we recruit more men of African or African-Caribbean ancestry into our research? Co-creating a video to raise awareness of prostate cancer risk and the PROFILE study.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-04-18)BACKGROUND: Men of African ancestry are at increased risk of developing prostate cancer (PrCa) compared to men from other backgrounds. The PROFILE study aims to understand whether genetic information can better target who ... -
How clinical imaging can assess cancer biology.
(2019-03-04)Human cancers represent complex structures, which display substantial inter- and intratumor heterogeneity in their genetic expression and phenotypic features. However, cancers usually exhibit characteristic structural, ... -
How clinical practice is changing the rules: the sunitinib 2/1 schedule in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
(2017-03)Introduction Currently, sunitinib is a standard of care in first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, with the standard 4/2 schedule (sunitinib 50 mg/day; 4 consecutive weeks on treatment; ... -
How informed is declared altruism in clinical trials? A qualitative interview study of patient decision-making about the QUEST trials (Quality of Life after Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction).
(BMC, 2016-09-02)BACKGROUND: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) often fail to recruit sufficient participants, despite altruism being cited as their motivation. Previous investigations of factors influencing participation decisions have ... -
How Low Can You Go? The Radiobiology of Hypofractionation.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)Hypofractionated radical radiotherapy is now an accepted standard of care for tumour sites such as prostate and breast cancer. Much research effort is being directed towards more profoundly hypofractionated (ultrahypofractionated) ... -
How RhoGEFs drive triple negative breast cancer cell invasion through the activation of YAP and TAZ
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-03-31)Dynamical remodelling of the cytoskeleton is essential for triple negative breast cancer metastasis (TNBC). Cell shape is regulated by RhoGEFs which activate Rho GTPases resulting in changes in actin polymerisation, ... -
How to build an effective research network: lessons from two decades of the GARNet plant science community.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-12-31)Successful collaborative research is dependent on excellent ideas and innovative experimental approaches, as well as the provision of appropriate support networks. Collaboration requires venues, infrastructures, training ... -
How to design a dose-finding study using the continual reassessment method.
(BMC, 2019-01-18)INTRODUCTION: The continual reassessment method (CRM) is a model-based design for phase I trials, which aims to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new therapy. The CRM has been shown to be more accurate in targeting ... -
How to develop a meaningful radiomic signature for clinical use in oncologic patients.
(2020-05)During the last decade, there is an increasing usage of quantitative methods in Radiology in an effort to reduce the diagnostic variability associated with a subjective manner of radiological interpretation. Combined ... -
How we treat neurological toxicity from immune checkpoint inhibitors.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-07-01)Neurological adverse events from immune checkpoint inhibition are increasingly recognised, especially with combination anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) and anti-programmed death receptor 1 (anti-PD-1) therapies. ... -
HOX genes promote cell proliferation and are potential therapeutic targets in adrenocortical tumours.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-02-16)BACKGROUND: Understanding the pathways that drive adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is essential to the development of more effective therapies. This study investigates the role of the transcription factor HOXB9 and other HOX ... -
