Shieldin complex promotes DNA end-joining and counters homologous recombination in BRCA1-null cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)
BRCA1 deficiencies cause breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers, and render tumours hypersensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. To understand the resistance mechanisms, we conducted whole-genome ...
Allergen Delivery Inhibitors: A Rationale for Targeting Sentinel Innate Immune Signaling of Group 1 House Dust Mite Allergens through Structure-Based Protease Inhibitor Design.
(AMER SOC PHARMACOLOGY EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS, 2018-09-01)
Diverse evidence from epidemiologic surveys and investigations into the molecular basis of allergenicity have revealed that a small cadre of "initiator" allergens promote the development of allergic diseases, such as asthma, ...
Allergen Delivery Inhibitors: Characterisation of Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Der p 1 and Their Attenuation of Airway Responses to House Dust Mite Allergens.
(MDPI, 2018-10-15)
Group 1 allergens of house dust mites (HDM) are globally significant triggers of allergic disease. They are considered as initiator allergens because their protease activity enables the development of allergy to a spectrum ...
MEKK3 coordinates with FBW7 to regulate WDR62 stability and neurogenesis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-12-01)
Mutations of WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) lead to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH), and down-regulation of WDR62 expression causes the loss of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, how WDR62 is regulated ...
The deubiquitinase USP9X regulates FBW7 stability and suppresses colorectal cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-04-02)
The tumor suppressor FBW7 targets oncoproteins such as c-MYC for ubiquitylation and is mutated in several human cancers. We noted that in a substantial percentage of colon cancers, FBW7 protein is undetectable despite the ...
Conditional control of fluorescent protein degradation by an auxin-dependent nanobody.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-17)
The conditional and reversible depletion of proteins by auxin-mediated degradation is a powerful tool to investigate protein functions in cells and whole organisms. However, its wider applications require fusing the ...
Oestrogen receptor α AF-1 and AF-2 domains have cell population-specific functions in the mammary epithelium.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-09)
Oestrogen receptor α (ERα) is a transcription factor with ligand-independent and ligand-dependent activation functions (AF)-1 and -2. Oestrogens control postnatal mammary gland development acting on a subset of mammary ...
Tailoring Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy for Premenopausal Breast Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2018-07-12)
BACKGROUND: In the Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial (SOFT) and the Tamoxifen and Exemestane Trial (TEXT), the 5-year rates of recurrence of breast cancer were significantly lower among premenopausal women who received ...
National survey of fiducial marker insertion for prostate image guided radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
INTRODUCTION: In the United Kingdom fiducial marker IGRT is the second most common verification method employed in radical prostate radiotherapy yet little evidence exists to support centres introducing or developing this ...
Critical research gaps and recommendations to inform research prioritisation for more effective prevention and improved outcomes in colorectal cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) leads to significant morbidity/mortality worldwide. Defining critical research gaps (RG), their prioritisation and resolution, could improve patient outcomes. DESIGN: RG analysis was ...
