Solution NMR assignment of the ARC4 domain of human tankyrase 2.
(SPRINGER, 2019-04-15)
Tankyrases are poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases (PARPs) which recognize their substrates via their ankyrin repeat cluster (ARC) domains. The human tankyrases (TNKS/TNKS2) contain five ARCs in their extensive N-terminal region; ...
SIRT3 controls brown fat thermogenesis by deacetylation regulation of pathways upstream of UCP1.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is important for thermoregulation in many mammals. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the critical regulator of thermogenesis in BAT. Here we aimed to investigate the deacetylation control ...
ALK2 inhibitors display beneficial effects in preclinical models of ACVR1 mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-09)
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal childhood brainstem tumour, with a quarter of patients harbouring somatic mutations in ACVR1, encoding the serine/threonine kinase ALK2. Despite being an amenable drug ...
Epigenome-wide association study for lifetime estrogen exposure identifies an epigenetic signature associated with breast cancer risk.
(BMC, 2019-04-30)
BACKGROUND: It is well established that estrogens and other hormonal factors influence breast cancer susceptibility. We hypothesized that a woman's total lifetime estrogen exposure accumulates changes in DNA methylation, ...
Lung Cancer Risk in Never-Smokers of European Descent is Associated With Genetic Variation in the 5p15.33 TERT-CLPTM1Ll Region.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-08-01)
INTRODUCTION: Inherited susceptibility to lung cancer risk in never-smokers is poorly understood. The major reason for this gap in knowledge is that this disease is relatively uncommon (except in Asians), making it difficult ...
Molecular Residual Disease and Adjuvant Trial Design in Solid Tumors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10)
Advances in diagnosis and treatment have resulted in a high rate of survival for many patients with early-stage cancers. However, identifying who is at ongoing risk of relapse remains of high priority to direct subsequent ...
Germline-focussed analysis of tumour-only sequencing: recommendations from the ESMO Precision Medicine Working Group.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-08-01)
It is increasingly common in oncology practice to perform tumour sequencing using large cancer panels. For pathogenic sequence variants in cancer susceptibility genes identified on tumour-only sequencing, it is often unclear ...
MRI commissioning of 1.5T MR-linac systems - a multi-institutional study.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Magnetic Resonance linear accelerator (MR-linac) systems represent a new type of technology that allows for online MR-guidance for high precision radiotherapy (RT). Currently, the first MR-linac installations ...
'Relationship between thermal dose and cell death for "rapid" ablative and "slow" hyperthermic heating'.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-01-01)
AIM: Thermal isoeffective dose (TID) has not been convincingly validated for application to predict biological effects from rapid thermal ablation (e.g., using >55 °C). This study compares the classical method of quantifying ...
Elevated Platelet Count Appears to Be Causally Associated with Increased Risk of Lung Cancer: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Platelets are a critical element in coagulation and inflammation, and activated platelets are linked to cancer risk through diverse mechanisms. However, a causal relationship between platelets and risk of lung ...
