A closed conformation of the Caenorhabditis elegans separase-securin complex.
(ROYAL SOC, 2016-04-13)
The protease separase plays a key role in sister chromatid disjunction and centriole disengagement. To maintain genomic stability, separase activity is strictly regulated by binding of an inhibitory protein, securin. Despite ...
High-Level Clonal FGFR Amplification and Response to FGFR Inhibition in a Translational Clinical Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-08-01)
UNLABELLED: FGFR1 and FGFR2 are amplified in many tumor types, yet what determines response to FGFR inhibition in amplified cancers is unknown. In a translational clinical trial, we show that gastric cancers with high-level ...
Targeting the Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors with Immuno-PET: Imaging Biomarkers from Bench to Bedside.
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2016-07-01)
Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT) enhances the therapeutic efficacy of paclitaxel and Abraxane® for treatment of human prostate adenocarcinoma in mice.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-08-28)
Acoustic cluster therapy (ACT) is a novel approach for ultrasound mediated, targeted drug delivery. In the current study, we have investigated ACT in combination with paclitaxel and Abraxane® for treatment of a subcutaneous ...
Sex specific retinoic acid signaling is required for the initiation of urogenital sinus bud development.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2014-11-15)
The mammalian urogenital sinus (UGS) develops in a sex specific manner, giving rise to the prostate in the male and the sinus vagina in the embryonic female. Androgens, produced by the embryonic testis, have been shown to ...
Genetic and functional diversity of propagating cells in glioblastoma.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-13)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal malignancy whose clinical intransigence has been linked to extensive intraclonal genetic and phenotypic diversity and the common emergence of therapeutic resistance. This interpretation ...
Preclinical Evidence That Trametinib Enhances the Response to Antiangiogenic Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-01-01)
Sunitinib and pazopanib are antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) used to treat metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the ability of these drugs to extend progression-free and overall survival in this ...
Investigating Apoptozole as a Chemical Probe for HSP70 Inhibition.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-10-12)
The use of chemical tools to validate clinical targets has gained in popularity over recent years and the importance of understanding the activity, selectivity and mechanism of action of these compounds is well recognized. ...
The unconventional myosin CRINKLED and its mammalian orthologue MYO7A regulate caspases in their signalling roles.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-03-10)
Caspases provide vital links in non-apoptotic regulatory networks controlling inflammation, compensatory proliferation, morphology and cell migration. How caspases are activated under non-apoptotic conditions and process ...
Paradox-breaking RAF inhibitors that also target SRC are effective in drug-resistant BRAF mutant melanoma.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-12)
BRAF and MEK inhibitors are effective in BRAF mutant melanoma, but most patients eventually relapse with acquired resistance, and others present intrinsic resistance to these drugs. Resistance is often mediated by pathway ...
