Evolution of complexity in the zebrafish synapse proteome.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-02)
The proteome of human brain synapses is highly complex and is mutated in over 130 diseases. This complexity arose from two whole-genome duplications early in the vertebrate lineage. Zebrafish are used in modelling human ...
A transcriptome-wide association study of 229,000 women identifies new candidate susceptibility genes for breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-01)
The breast cancer risk variants identified in genome-wide association studies explain only a small fraction of the familial relative risk, and the genes responsible for these associations remain largely unknown. To identify ...
Function of Human Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06-01)
Cancer progression is marked by dysfunctional tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) with high inhibitory receptor (IR) expression. Because IR blockade has led to clinical responses in some patients with non-small cell lung ...
A preclinical model to investigate the role of surgically-induced inflammation in tumor responses to intraoperative photodynamic therapy.
(WILEY, 2018-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: Inflammation is a well-known consequence of surgery. Although surgical debulking of tumor is beneficial to patients, the onset of inflammation in injured tissue may impede the success of adjuvant therapies. One ...
CAR T-cell immunotherapy of MET-expressing malignant mesothelioma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2017-12-02)
Mesothelioma is an incurable cancer for which effective therapies are required. Aberrant MET expression is prevalent in mesothelioma, although targeting using small molecule-based therapeutics has proven disappointing. ...
Phenotypic and functional analysis of malignant mesothelioma tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2019-09-02)
Given the growing interest and promising preliminary results of immunotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), it has become important to more fully understand the immune landscape in this tumor. This may be ...
Luminol Chemiluminescence Reports Photodynamic Therapy-Generated Neutrophil Activity In Vivo and Serves as a Biomarker of Therapeutic Efficacy.
(WILEY, 2019-01-01)
Inflammatory cells, most especially neutrophils, can be a necessary component of the antitumor activity occurring after administration of photodynamic therapy. Generation of neutrophil responses has been suggested to be ...
A comparison of the diagnostic value of MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in suspected spondylodiscitis.
(2017-02)
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing ...
The epidermal growth factor receptor/Erb-B/HER family in normal and malignant breast biology.
(UPV/EHU Press, 2011-01-01)
The EGFR/Erb-B receptor tyrosine kinases each play distinct and complementary roles in normal breast development. The four receptors form both homodimers and heterodimers in response to binding by ligands which show ...
Fine-mapping of 150 breast cancer risk regions identifies 191 likely target genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-07)
Genome-wide association studies have identified breast cancer risk variants in over 150 genomic regions, but the mechanisms underlying risk remain largely unknown. These regions were explored by combining association ...
