Molecular mechanisms of PARP inhibitor sensitivity in primary triple negative breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-08-31)
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) encompasses molecularly different subgroups, with a subgroup harbouring evidence of defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. At present there are no biomarkers available in ...
Circulating tumour DNA in advanced thyroid cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-02-28)
Conventional biomarkers currently used in thyroid cancer are not disease specific and fluctuate in advanced disease, making interpretation difficult. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has been shown to be a useful in other ...
SARS-CoV-2 lateral flow assays for possible use in national covid-19 seroprevalence surveys (React 2): diagnostic accuracy study.
(2021-03-02)
Objective To evaluate the performance of new lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) suitable for use in a national coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) seroprevalence programme (real time assessment of community transmission ...
Prevalence of antibody positivity to SARS-CoV-2 following the first peak of infection in England: Serial cross-sectional studies of 365,000 adults.
(2021-05-02)
Background The time-concentrated nature of the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in England in March and April 2020 provides a natural experiment to measure changes in antibody positivity at the population level before ...
Revealing mechanisms of metabolic pathways associated with cancer pain
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-06-30)
Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is a hallmark of oncogenesis. Many lipid metabolites have been implicated in non-cancer pain states, but their role in cancer-related pain has yet to be firmly established. Previous work ...
Tracking the molecular and metabolic fingerprints of inhalational versus intravenous anaesthetics in preclinical models of breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Fragment-based discovery of HSP70 inhibitors
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Heat Shock Protein 70s (HSP70s) are key molecular chaperones that are overexpressed in many cancers and are often associated with metastasis and poor prognosis. Dual silencing of two isoforms, HSP72 and HSC70, using siRNA ...
The effects of oncolytic Maraba virus (MG1) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-08-31)
Lung cancer is responsible for the highest cancer mortality worldwide. The prognosis for patients with advanced disease remains poor with five-year overall survival of <10%, highlighting the urgent unmet need for novel ...
DNA methylation patterns identify subgroups of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with clinical association.
(2021-02-03)
Here we report the DNA methylation profile of 84 sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) with associated clinical and genomic information. We identified three subgroups of PanNETs, termed T1, T2 and T3, with ...
Patient positioning and immobilization procedures for hybrid MR-Linac systems.
(2021-09-20)
Hybrid magnetic resonance (MR)-guided linear accelerators represent a new horizon in the field of radiation oncology. By harnessing the favorable combination of on-board MR-imaging with the possibility to daily recalculate ...
