Tissue curvature and apicobasal mechanical tension imbalance instruct cancer morphogenesis.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-02-07)
Tubular epithelia are a basic building block of organs and a common site of cancer occurrence1-4. During tumorigenesis, transformed cells overproliferate and epithelial architecture is disrupted. However, the biophysical ...
The complete structure of the human TFIIH core complex.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2019-03-12)
Transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) is a heterodecameric protein complex critical for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II and nucleotide excision DNA repair. The TFIIH core complex is sufficient for its repair ...
C/EBPα mediates the growth inhibitory effect of progestins on breast cancer cells.
(WILEY, 2019-09-16)
Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome-wide ...
Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-04-15)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have so far identified 25 loci associated with glioma risk, with most showing specificity for either glioblastoma (GBM) or non-GBM tumors. The majority of these GWAS susceptibility ...
The Lineage Determining Factor GRHL2 Collaborates with FOXA1 to Establish a Targetable Pathway in Endocrine Therapy-Resistant Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-10-22)
Notwithstanding the positive clinical impact of endocrine therapies in estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer, de novo and acquired resistance limits the therapeutic lifespan of existing drugs. Taking the ...
Analysis of tumour ecological balance reveals resource-dependent adaptive strategies of ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-10-21)
BACKGROUND: Despite treatment advances, there remains a significant risk of recurrence in ovarian cancer, at which stage it is usually incurable. Consequently, there is a clear need for improved patient stratification. ...
International Ring Trial of a High Resolution Targeted Metabolomics and Lipidomics Platform for Serum and Plasma Analysis.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2019-10-22)
A challenge facing metabolomics in the analysis of large human cohorts is the cross-laboratory comparability of quantitative metabolomics measurements. In this study, 14 laboratories analyzed various blood specimens using ...
The transformation of radiation oncology using real-time magnetic resonance guidance: A review.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-11-01)
Radiation therapy (RT) is an essential component of effective cancer care and is used across nearly all cancer types. The delivery of RT is becoming more precise through rapid advances in both computing and imaging. The ...
Class(y) Dissection of BRAF Heterogeneity: Beyond Non-V600.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-12-01)
Different classes of BRAF mutations are present in colorectal and other cancers. Non-V600 mutations are rare; however, their detection rate will increase as the use of next-generation sequencing ramps up quickly in clinical ...
Targeting cyclooxygenase by indomethacin decelerates progression of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a xenograft model.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-11-12)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) develops in the bone marrow in the vicinity of stromal cells known to promote tumor development and treatment resistance. We previously showed that the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor ...
