Microenvironmental Heterogeneity Parallels Breast Cancer Progression: A Histology-Genomic Integration Analysis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-02-16)BACKGROUND: The intra-tumor diversity of cancer cells is under intense investigation; however, little is known about the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment that is key to cancer progression and evolution. We aimed ... -
Microenvironmental niche divergence shapes BRCA1-dysregulated ovarian cancer morphological plasticity.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-09-25)How tumor microenvironmental forces shape plasticity of cancer cell morphology is poorly understood. Here, we conduct automated histology image and spatial statistical analyses in 514 high grade serous ovarian samples to ... -
Microglia and Other Cellular Mediators of Immunological Dysfunction in Schizophrenia: A Narrative Synthesis of Clinical Findings.
(MDPI, 2023-08-19)Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric condition that may involve immune system dysregulation. Since most putative disease mechanisms in schizophrenia have been derived from genetic association studies and fluid-based ... -
MicroRNA 193b-3p as a predictive biomarker of chronic kidney disease in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2016-11-01)BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN) for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) within a few years following surgery. Chronic kidney disease ... -
MicroRNA and gene co-expression networks characterize biological and clinical behavior of rhabdomyosarcomas.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-01-28)Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) in children and adolescents are heterogeneous sarcomas broadly defined by skeletal muscle features and the presence/absence of PAX3/7-FOXO1 fusion genes. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that ... -
MicroRNA-135b promotes cancer progression by acting as a downstream effector of oncogenic pathways in colon cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-04-14)MicroRNA deregulation is frequent in human colorectal cancers (CRCs), but little is known as to whether it represents a bystander event or actually drives tumor progression in vivo. We show that miR-135b overexpression is ... -
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as New Tools for Cancer Therapy: First Steps from Bench to Bedside.
(SPRINGER, 2020-06-01)Non-coding RNAs represent a significant proportion of the human genome. After having been considered as 'junk' for a long time, non-coding RNAs are now well established as playing important roles in maintaining cellular ... -
MicroRNAs as biomarkers of response to HER2 inhibitors in gastro-oesophageal cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy represents the standard of care in HER2-positive advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer (GOC), but development of resistance limits response. MicroRNAs (miRs) modulate key pathways ... -
MicroRNAs as mediators of drug resistance mechanisms.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-10-01)MicroRNAs are small RNA transcripts involved in fine-tuning of several cellular mechanisms and pathways crucial for maintaining cells' homeostasis like apoptosis, differentiation, inflammation and cell-cycle regulation. ... -
MicroRNAs as Mediators of Resistance Mechanisms to Small-Molecule Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Solid Tumours.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are widely expressed transmembrane proteins that act as receptors for growth factors and other extracellular signalling molecules. Upon ligand binding, RTKs activate intracellular signalling ... -
Microsatellite instability in gastric cancer: molecular bases, clinical perspectives, and new treatment approaches.
(SPRINGER BASEL AG, 2018-11-01)Gastric cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, with limited treatment options in both locally advanced and metastatic setting, resulting in poor prognosis. Based on genomic characterization, stomach tumour has ... -
Microstructure Characterization of Bone Metastases from Prostate Cancer with Diffusion MRI: Preliminary Findings.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-02-16)PURPOSE: To examine the usefulness of rich diffusion protocols with high b-values and varying diffusion time for probing microstructure in bone metastases. Analysis techniques including biophysical and mathematical models ... -
Mig6 Is a Sensor of EGF Receptor Inactivation that Directly Activates c-Abl to Induce Apoptosis during Epithelial Homeostasis
(CELL PRESS, 2012-09-11)A fundamental aspect of epithelial homeostasis is the dependence on specific growth factors for cell survival, yet the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We found an “inverse” mode of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling ... -
Milestones in dosimetry for nuclear medicine therapy.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022-07-01)Nuclear Medicine therapy has reached a critical juncture with an unprecedented number of patients being treated and an extensive list of new radiopharmaceuticals under development. Since the early applications of these ... -
Mind Bomb Regulates Cell Death during TNF Signaling by Suppressing RIPK1's Cytotoxic Potential.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-04-10)Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is an inflammatory cytokine that can signal cell survival or cell death. The mechanisms that switch between these distinct outcomes remain poorly defined. Here, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ... -
Mini-mesohepatectomy for tumours at the hepatocaval confluence: A cases series and review of the literature.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-06-30)Liver lesions located adjacent to the middle hepatic vein (MHV) at the hepatocaval confluence are rare. Mini-mesohepatectomy (MMH) allows resection of these lesions with preservation of liver parenchymal volume thus reducing ... -
Mini-Review on Targeted Treatment of Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-04-21)Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a devastating disease which most commonly affects adolescents, with a male predominance. Despite the best multimodality treatment efforts, most patients will ultimately not ... -
