BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor suppressors protect against endogenous acetaldehyde toxicity.
(WILEY, 2017-10-01)
Maintenance of genome integrity requires the functional interplay between Fanconi anemia (FA) and homologous recombination (HR) repair pathways. Endogenous acetaldehyde, a product of cellular metabolism, is a potent source ...
The cryo-electron microscopy structure of human transcription factor IIH.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-21)
Human transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) is part of the general transcriptional machinery required by RNA polymerase II for the initiation of eukaryotic gene transcription. Composed of ten subunits that add up to a molecular ...
Impact of Spontaneous Extracranial Bleeding Events on Health State Utility in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Results from the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 Trial.
(WILEY, 2017-08-11)
BACKGROUND: The impact of different types of extracranial bleeding events on health-related quality of life and health-state utility among patients with atrial fibrillation is not well understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ...
A rectal cancer feasibility study with an embedded phase III trial design assessing magnetic resonance tumour regression grade (mrTRG) as a novel biomarker to stratify management by good and poor response to chemoradiotherapy (TRIGGER): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-08-29)
BACKGROUND: Pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for MRI-defined, locally advanced rectal cancer is primarily intended to reduce local recurrence rates by downstaging tumours, enabling an improved likelihood of curative ...
RNA polymerase I, bending the rules?
(WILEY, 2017-09-15)
Transcription initiation is one of the key regulatory steps in expressing the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Mechanisms of RNA Pol II transcription have been extensively studied, whereas the structural basis of ...
Intratumoural evolutionary landscape of high-risk prostate cancer: the PROGENY study of genomic and immune parameters.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-10-01)
BACKGROUND: Intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH) is well recognised in prostate cancer (PC), but its role in high-risk disease is uncertain. A prospective, single-arm, translational study using targeted multiregion prostate ...
Treating locally advanced lung cancer with a 1.5T MR-Linac - Effects of the magnetic field and irradiation geometry on conventionally fractionated and isotoxic dose-escalated radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-11-01)
PURPOSE: This study investigates the feasibility and potential benefits of radiotherapy with a 1.5T MR-Linac for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA NSCLC) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ten patients with LA ...
Line focus x-ray tubes-a new concept to produce high brilliance x-rays.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2017-10-27)
Currently hard coherent x-ray radiation at high photon fluxes can only be produced with large and expensive radiation sources, such as 3[Formula: see text] generation synchrotrons. Especially in medicine, this limitation ...
Treatment and prognosis of leptomeningeal disease secondary to metastatic breast cancer: A single-centre experience.
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2017-12-01)
PURPOSE: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is an uncommon complication of advanced breast cancer. The prognosis is poor, and although radiotherapy (RT), systemic and intra-thecal (IT) chemotherapy are accepted treatment modalities, ...
A study of PD-L1 expression in KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer cell lines exposed to relevant targeted treatments.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-10-05)
We investigated PD-L1 changes in response to MEK and AKT inhibitors in KRAS mutant lung adenocarcinoma (adeno-NSCLC). PD-L1 expression was quantified using immunofluorescence and co-culture with a jurkat cell-line transfected ...
