Pathogenic ACVR1R206H activation by Activin A-induced receptor clustering and autophosphorylation.
(WILEY, 2021-07-15)
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are debilitating diseases that share causal mutations in ACVR1, a TGF-β family type I receptor. ACVR1R206H is a frequent mutation in ...
Severity of gastric intestinal metaplasia predicts the risk of gastric cancer: a prospective multicentre cohort study (GCEP).
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-05-11)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) attributed to gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM), and validate the Operative Link on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (OLGIM) for targeted endoscopic surveillance ...
Colonic epithelial cathelicidin (LL-37) expression intensity is associated with progression of colorectal cancer and presence of CD8+ T cell infiltrate.
(WILEY, 2021-05-14)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality. Here, we define the colonic epithelial expression of cathelicidin (LL-37) in CRC. Cathelicidin exerts pleotropic effects including anti-microbial and ...
HER3 expression and MEK activation in non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2021-04-09)
AIM: We explore HER3 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (adeno-NSCLC) and identify potential mechanisms of HER3 expression. MATERIALS & METHODS: Tumor samples from 45 patients with adeno-NSCLC were analyzed. HER3 and HER2 ...
Effect of oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine on circulating and imaging biomarkers in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: a prospective biomarker study.
(BMC, 2021-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer are treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy supplemented by molecularly targeted therapies. There is a critical need to define biomarkers that can optimise the use of these ...
Sox11 regulates mammary tumour-initiating and metastatic capacity in Brca1-deficient mouse mammary tumour cells.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2021-05-01)
Little is known about the role of Sox11 in the regulation of mammary progenitor cells. Sox11 is expressed by mammary bud epithelial cells during embryonic mammary gland development and is not detected in mammary epithelial ...
Evaluation of a urology specialist therapeutic radiographer implemented radiotherapy pathway for prostate cancer patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-04-15)
INTRODUCTION: The role of the Urology Specialist Therapeutic Radiographer (USTR) was introduced to support a busy NHS uro-oncology practice. Key objectives were to improve patient preparedness for and experience of ...
Gene-Environment Interactions Relevant to Estrogen and Risk of Breast Cancer: Can Gene-Environment Interactions Be Detected Only among Candidate SNPs from Genome-Wide Association Studies?
(MDPI, 2021-05-14)
In this study we aim to examine gene-environment interactions (GxEs) between genes involved with estrogen metabolism and environmental factors related to estrogen exposure. GxE analyses were conducted with 1970 Korean ...
Image-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for Bladder Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-06-01)
Technological advancement has facilitated patient-specific radiotherapy in bladder cancer. This has been made possible by developments in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Particularly transformative has been the integration ...
Large Stokes shift fluorescence activation in an RNA aptamer by intermolecular proton transfer to guanine.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-10)
Fluorogenic RNA aptamers are synthetic functional RNAs that specifically bind and activate conditional fluorophores. The Chili RNA aptamer mimics large Stokes shift fluorescent proteins and exhibits high affinity for ...
