Molecular Characterization of Circulating Tumor DNA in Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Feasibility Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-10-01)
PURPOSE: Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are rare neoplasms affecting children and young adults. Efforts to improve patient survival have been undermined by a lack of suitable disease markers. Plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) ...
Cannabinoids in the landscape of cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-07-14)
INTRODUCTION: Cannabinoids are a group of terpenophenolic compounds derived from the Cannabis sativa L. plant. There is a growing body of evidence from cell culture and animal studies in support of cannabinoids possessing ...
Identification of a minority population of LMO2+ breast cancer cells that integrate into the vasculature and initiate metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2022-11-11)
Metastasis is responsible for most breast cancer-related deaths; however, identifying the cellular determinants of metastasis has remained challenging. Here, we identified a minority population of immature THY1+/VEGFA+ ...
A FIJI macro for quantifying pattern in extracellular matrix.
(LIFE SCIENCE ALLIANCE LLC, 2021-03-01)
Diverse extracellular matrix patterns are observed in both normal and pathological tissue. However, most current tools for quantitative analysis focus on a single aspect of matrix patterning. Thus, an automated pipeline ...
ROS Dynamics Delineate Functional States of Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells and Link to Their Activity-Dependent Exit from Quiescence.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-02-04)
Cellular redox states regulate the balance between stem cell maintenance and activation. Increased levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are linked to proliferation and lineage specification. In contrast ...
Surgical Inflammation Alters Immune Response to Intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-09-11)
UNLABELLED: Surgical cytoreduction for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is used for selected patients as a part of multi-modality management strategy. Our group has previously described the clinical use ...
Bcar1/p130Cas is essential for ventricular development and neural crest cell remodelling of the cardiac outflow tract.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-06-29)
AIMS: The adapter protein p130Cas, encoded by the Bcar1 gene, is a key regulator of cell movement, adhesion, and cell cycle control in diverse cell types. Bcar1 constitutive knockout mice are embryonic lethal by embryonic ...
Zebrafish as a model for cardiac disease; Cryo-EM structure of native cardiac thin filaments from Danio Rerio.
(SPRINGER, 2023-09-01)
Actin, tropomyosin and troponin, the proteins that comprise the contractile apparatus of the cardiac thin filament, are highly conserved across species. We have used cryo-EM to study the three-dimensional structure of the ...
Kickstarting Immunity in Cold Tumours: Localised Tumour Therapy Combinations With Immune Checkpoint Blockade.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-10-18)
Cancer patients with low or absent pre-existing anti-tumour immunity ("cold" tumours) respond poorly to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI). In order to render these patients susceptible to ICPI, initiation ...
Crosstalk with lung fibroblasts shapes the growth and therapeutic response of mesothelioma cells.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-11-08)
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer of the mesothelial layer associated with an extensive fibrotic response. The latter is in large part mediated by cancer-associated fibroblasts which mediate tumour progression and poor ...
