An intrinsic temporal order of c-JUN N-terminal phosphorylation regulates its activity by orchestrating co-factor recruitment.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-10-17)Protein phosphorylation is a major regulatory mechanism of cellular signalling. The c-JUN proto-oncoprotein is phosphorylated at four residues within its transactivation domain (TAD) by the JNK family kinases, but the ... -
Introducing the concept of spiral microbeam radiation therapy (spiralMRT).
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-03-08)MOTIVATION: With interlaced microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) a first kilovoltage radiotherapy (RT) concept combining spatially fractionated entrance beams and homogeneous dose distribution at the target exists. However, ... -
Introduction of day-case robotic liver surgery: a case series from a tertiary hepatobiliary and pancreatic centre.
(SPRINGER, 2024-08-01)BACKGROUND: Liver surgery is associated with a significant hospital stay regardless the type of liver resection. A large incision is essential for open liver surgery which is a major factor in the course of the patient's ... -
Introduction to the National Cancer Imaging Translational Accelerator (NCITA): a UK-wide infrastructure for multicentre clinical translation of cancer imaging biomarkers.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-11-23)The National Cancer Imaging Translational Accelerator (NCITA) is creating a UK national coordinated infrastructure for accelerated translation of imaging biomarkers for clinical use. Through the development of standardised ... -
Intuitive Gaze-Control of a Robotized Flexible Endoscope

Inverse planning of lung radiotherapy with photon and proton beams using a discrete ordinates Boltzmann solver.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024-02-02)Objective. A discrete ordinates Boltzmann solver has recently been developed for use as a fast and accurate dose engine for calculation of photon and proton beams. The purpose of this study is to apply the algorithm to the ... -
Investigating a range of late effects of Hodgkin lymphoma treatments
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Dramatic improvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survival rates over recent decades has come at significant cost: treatment-related late effects which are epitomised in female HL patients treated at young ages. The aims of ... -
Investigating acute cellular responses to elevated APOBEC3B expression
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)The cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B (A3B) functions as part of innate immunity by mutating viral DNA and preventing replication. Large-scale genome sequencing studies and examination of expression levels have identified mutations ... -
Investigating Apoptozole as a Chemical Probe for HSP70 Inhibition.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-10-12)The use of chemical tools to validate clinical targets has gained in popularity over recent years and the importance of understanding the activity, selectivity and mechanism of action of these compounds is well recognized. ... -
Investigating determinants of sensitivity and resistance to T cell redirecting antibodies in colorectal cancer through patient derived organoid models
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-06-12)Most colorectal cancers (CRCs) do not respond to treatment with immune-checkpoint-inhibitors due to modest mutation loads, low cytotoxic T cell infiltrates, and immunosuppressive microenvironments. The CEA-TCB bispecific ... -
Investigating intracranial tumour growth patterns with multiparametric MRI incorporating Gd-DTPA and USPIO-enhanced imaging.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)High grade and metastatic brain tumours exhibit considerable spatial variations in proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, necrosis and oedema. Vascular heterogeneity arising from vascular co-option in regions of invasive ... -
Investigating Low-Velocity Fluid Flow in Tumors with Convection-MRI.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)Several distinct fluid flow phenomena occur in solid tumors, including intravascular blood flow and interstitial convection. Interstitial fluid pressure is often raised in solid tumors, which can limit drug delivery. To ... -
Investigating roles of the SWI/SNF complex subunits in genome stability, chromatin organisation, innate immune signalling and replication stress
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-12-31)The alterations of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex subunits happen in 30% of malignancies. The exact mechanisms by which SWI/SNF alterations contribute to tumourigenesis are still not entirely clear. Here, I ... -
Investigating the Contribution of Collagen to the Tumor Biomechanical Phenotype with Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Elastography.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-15)Increased stiffness in the extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to tumor progression and metastasis. Therefore, stromal modulating therapies and accompanying biomarkers are being developed to target ECM stiffness. Magnetic ... -
Investigating the contribution of hyaluronan to the breast tumour microenvironment using multiparametric MRI and MR elastography.
(WILEY, 2023-06-01)Hyaluronan (HA) is a key component of the dense extracellular matrix in breast cancer, and its accumulation is associated with poor prognosis and metastasis. Pegvorhyaluronidase alfa (PEGPH20) enzymatically degrades HA and ... -
Investigating the diverse cellular functions of APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B in urothelial carcinoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-02-20)Urothelial carcinoma (UCC) is characterised by a high mutational burden, with many of the identified mutations resulting from the mutagenic activity of the APOBEC3 (A3) family of cytidine deaminases. A3B expression is ... -
