Arresting metastasis within the microcirculation.
(SPRINGER, 2021-07-09)
The behaviour of circulating tumour cells in the microcirculation remains poorly understood. Growing evidence suggests that biomechanical adaptations and interactions with blood components, i.e. immune cells and platelets ...
Urm1, not quite a ubiquitin-like modifier?
(SHARED SCIENCE PUBLISHERS OG, 2021-11-01)
Ubiquitin related modifier 1 (Urm1) is a unique eukaryotic member of the ubiquitin-fold (UbF) protein family and conserved from yeast to humans. Urm1 is dual-functional, acting both as a sulfur carrier for thiolation of ...
Reconstitution of the destruction complex defines roles of AXIN polymers and APC in β-catenin capture, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-08-19)
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a highly conserved, frequently mutated developmental and cancer pathway. Its output is defined mainly by β-catenin's phosphorylation- and ubiquitylation-dependent proteasomal degradation, ...
Ceralasertib (AZD6738), an Oral ATR Kinase Inhibitor, in Combination with Carboplatin in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors: A Phase I Study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-10-01)
PURPOSE: This study reports the safety, tolerability, MTD, recommended phase II dose (RP2D), pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, and preliminary antitumor activity of ceralasertib combined with carboplatin in patients ...
An environmentally friendly alternative to single-use plastics for radiotherapy bladder preparation.
(Elsevier BV, 2021-06-01)
More than 60,000 plastic cups were used annually for bladder preparation in one radiotherapy centre. As an alternative, patients were provided with a specifically designed reusable water bottle, aiming to reduce waste and ...
Quantitative Proteomic Analysis in Alveolar Type II Cells Reveals the Different Capacities of RAS and TGF-β to Induce Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-03-19)
Alveolar type II (ATII) epithelial cells function as stem cells, contributing to alveolar renewal, repair and cancer. Therefore, they are a highly relevant model for studying a number of lung diseases, including acute ...
Describing Unmet Supportive Care Needs among Young Adults with Cancer (25-39 Years) and the Relationship with Health-Related Quality of Life, Psychological Distress, and Illness Cognitions.
(MDPI, 2021-09-28)
Few studies describe supportive care needs among young adults (YAs) with cancer ages 25 to 39 using validated questionnaires. Previous findings identified the need for psychological and information support and suggest that ...
TGF-β1 potentiates Vγ9Vδ2 T cell adoptive immunotherapy of cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-12-21)
Despite its role in cancer surveillance, adoptive immunotherapy using γδ T cells has achieved limited efficacy. To enhance trafficking to bone marrow, circulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are expanded in serum-free medium containing ...
Targeted PET/MRI Imaging Super Probes: A Critical Review of Opportunities and Challenges.
(DOVE MEDICAL PRESS LTD, 2021-01-01)
Recently, the demand for hybrid PET/MRI imaging techniques has increased significantly, which has sparked the investigation into new ways to simultaneously track multiple molecular targets and improve the localization and ...
Bone Metastases Are Measurable: The Role of Whole-Body MRI and Positron Emission Tomography.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-11-19)
Metastatic tumor deposits in bone marrow elicit differential bone responses that vary with the type of malignancy. This results in either sclerotic, lytic, or mixed bone lesions, which can change in morphology due to ...
