An In Vivo Functional Screen Identifies JNK Signaling As a Modulator of Chemotherapeutic Response in Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)Chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for advanced breast cancer; however, resistance is an inevitable event for the majority of patients with metastatic disease. Moreover, there is little information available ... -
An Incidental Renal Oncocytoma: 18F-Choline PET/MRI
(MDPI AG, 2016-04-06) -
An inhibitory mono-ubiquitylation of the Drosophila initiator caspase Dronc functions in both apoptotic and non-apoptotic pathways.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-02-01)Apoptosis is an evolutionary conserved cell death mechanism, which requires activation of initiator and effector caspases. The Drosophila initiator caspase Dronc, the ortholog of mammalian Caspase-2 and Caspase-9, has an ... -
An integrative multi-omics analysis to identify candidate DNA methylation biomarkers related to prostate cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08-06)It remains elusive whether some of the associations identified in genome-wide association studies of prostate cancer (PrCa) may be due to regulatory effects of genetic variants on CpG sites, which may further influence ... -
An Inter-observer Study to Determine Radiotherapy Planning Target Volumes for Recurrent Gynaecological Cancer Comparing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Only With Computed Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-02-24)AIMS: Target delineation uncertainty is arguably the largest source of geometric uncertainty in radiotherapy. Several factors can affect it, including the imaging modality used for delineation. It is accounted for by ... -
An intergenic risk locus containing an enhancer deletion in 2q35 modulates breast cancer risk by deregulating IGFBP5 expression.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-09-01)Breast cancer is the most diagnosed malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in females. Previous association studies have identified variants on 2q35 associated with the risk of breast cancer. To identify ... -
An International Comparison of Presentation, Outcomes and CORONET Predictive Score Performance in Patients with Cancer Presenting with COVID-19 across Different Pandemic Waves.
(MDPI, 2022-08-16)Patients with cancer have been shown to have increased risk of COVID-19 severity. We previously built and validated the COVID-19 Risk in Oncology Evaluation Tool (CORONET) to predict the likely severity of COVID-19 in ... -
An intrinsically disordered proteins community for ELIXIR
(2019-10-15)Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are now recognised as major determinants in cellular regulation. This white paper presents a roadmap for future e-infrastructure developments ... -
An Investigation of Dosimetric Correlates of Acute Toxicity in Prostate Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy: Dose to Urinary Trigone is Associated with Acute Urinary Toxicity.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-09-01)AIMS: There are limited data on dosimetric correlates of toxicity in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer. We aimed to identify potential relationships between dose and toxicity using conventional ... -
An ionising radiation-induced specific transcriptional signature of inflammation-associated genes in whole blood from radiotherapy patients: a pilot study.
(BMC, 2021-05-03)BACKGROUND: This communication reports the identification of a new panel of transcriptional changes in inflammation-associated genes observed in response to ionising radiation received by radiotherapy patients. METHODS: ... -
An Irreversible Inhibitor of HSP72 that Unexpectedly Targets Lysine-56.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2017-03-20)The stress-inducible molecular chaperone, HSP72, is an important therapeutic target in oncology, but inhibiting this protein with small molecules has proven particularly challenging. Validating HSP72 inhibitors in cells ... -
An optimized b-value distribution for triexponential intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in the liver.
(WILEY, 2021-04-01)PURPOSE: To find an optimized b-value distribution for reproducible triexponential intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) exams in the liver. METHODS: A numeric optimization of b-value distributions was performed using the ... -
An orally bioavailable Chk1 inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation.
(2017-03)Purpose Chk1 inhibition increases cell sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several tumour types and is, therefore, a promising anti-cancer approach. Although several Chk1 inhibitors have been developed, ... -
