Phosphorylation-Dependent Assembly of a 14-3-3 Mediated Signaling Complex during Red Blood Cell Invasion by Plasmodium falciparum Merozoites.
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2020-08-18)
Red blood cell (RBC) invasion by Plasmodium merozoites requires multiple steps that are regulated by signaling pathways. Exposure of P. falciparum merozoites to the physiological signal of low K+, as found in blood plasma, ...
A Machine-Learning Tool Concurrently Models Single Omics and Phenome Data for Functional Subtyping and Personalized Cancer Medicine.
(MDPI, 2020-09-30)
One of the major challenges in defining clinically-relevant and less heterogeneous tumor subtypes is assigning biological and/or clinical interpretations to etiological (intrinsic) subtypes. Conventional clustering/subtyping ...
Diagnostic Accuracy and Safety of Coaxial System in Oncology Patients Treated in a Specialist Cancer Center With Prospective Validation Within Clinical Trial Data.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-09-04)
BACKGROUND: Image-guided tissue biopsies are critically important in the diagnosis and management of cancer patients. High-yield samples are also vital for biomarker and resistance mechanism discovery through molecular/genomic ...
Intratumoral Transcriptome Heterogeneity Is Associated With Patient Prognosis and Sidedness in Patients With Colorectal Cancer Treated With Anti-EGFR Therapy From the CO.20 Trial.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-09-29)
PURPOSE: Metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs) assigned to the transit-amplifying (TA) CRCAssigner subtype are more sensitive to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy. We evaluated the association between ...
A convolutional neural network for contouring metastatic lymph nodes on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images for assessment of radiotherapy response.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-07-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Retrieving quantitative parameters from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), e.g. for early assessment of radiotherapy treatment response, necessitates contouring regions of interest, which is ...
In vitro characterisation of ultrasound-induced heating effects in the mother and fetus: A clinical perspective.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-09-14)
INTRODUCTION: The quantification of heating effects during exposure to ultrasound is usually based on laboratory experiments in water and is assessed using extrapolated parameters such as the thermal index. In our study, ...
Timing of radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy (RADICALS-RT): a randomised, controlled phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-10-31)
BACKGROUND: The optimal timing of radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is uncertain. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of adjuvant radiotherapy versus an observation policy with salvage ...
Defective ALC1 nucleosome remodeling confers PARPi sensitization and synthetic lethality with HRD.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-02-18)
Chromatin is a barrier to efficient DNA repair, as it hinders access and processing of certain DNA lesions. ALC1/CHD1L is a nucleosome-remodeling enzyme that responds to DNA damage, but its precise function in DNA repair ...
MNK Inhibition Sensitizes KRAS-Mutant Colorectal Cancer to mTORC1 Inhibition by Reducing eIF4E Phosphorylation and c-MYC Expression.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-05-01)
KRAS-mutant colorectal cancers are resistant to therapeutics, presenting a significant problem for ∼40% of cases. Rapalogs, which inhibit mTORC1 and thus protein synthesis, are significantly less potent in KRAS-mutant ...
Squeezing through the microcirculation: survival adaptations of circulating tumour cells to seed metastasis.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-01-05)
During metastasis, tumour cells navigating the vascular circulatory system-circulating tumour cells (CTCs)-encounter capillary beds, where they start the process of extravasation. Biomechanical constriction forces exerted ...
