Methodology for the development of National Multidisciplinary Management Recommendations using a multi-stage meta-consensus initiative.
(BMC, 2022-07-11)BACKGROUND: Methods for developing national recommendations vary widely. The successful adoption of new guidance into routine practice is dependent on buy-in from the clinicians delivering day-to-day patient care and must ... -
Methylome analysis identifies a Wilms tumor epigenetic biomarker detectable in blood
(2014-01-01)Background Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal malignancy and there is a clinical need for a molecular biomarker to assess treatment response and predict relapse. The known mutated genes in this tumor type show ... -
Micro-CT acquisition and image processing to track and characterize pulmonary nodules in mice.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-12-09)X-ray computed tomography is a reliable technique for the detection and longitudinal monitoring of pulmonary nodules. In preclinical stages of diagnostic or therapeutic development, the miniaturized versions of the clinical ... -
Microbiota- and Radiotherapy-Induced Gastrointestinal Side-Effects (MARS) Study: A Large Pilot Study of the Microbiome in Acute and Late-Radiation Enteropathy.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-01)PURPOSE: Radiotherapy is important in managing pelvic cancers. However, radiation enteropathy may occur and can be dose limiting. The gut microbiota may contribute to the pathogenesis of radiation enteropathy. We hypothesized ... -
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 ... -
