Spatially constrained tumour growth affects the patterns of clonal selection and neutral drift in cancer genomic data.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-07-29)
Quantification of the effect of spatial tumour sampling on the patterns of mutations detected in next-generation sequencing data is largely lacking. Here we use a spatial stochastic cellular automaton model of tumour growth ...
Landscape of transcriptomic interactions between breast cancer and its microenvironment.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-15)
Solid tumours comprise mixtures of tumour cells (TCs) and tumour-adjacent cells (TACs), and the intricate interconnections between these diverse populations shape the tumour's microenvironment. Despite this complexity, ...
Three-dimensional structure of the basketweave Z-band in midshipman fish sonic muscle.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-07-30)
Striated muscle enables movement in all animals by the contraction of myriads of sarcomeres joined end to end by the Z-bands. The contraction is due to tension generated in each sarcomere between overlapping arrays of actin ...
Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen Heterogeneity and DNA Repair Defects in Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-10-01)
BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA; folate hydrolase) prostate cancer (PC) expression has theranostic utility. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate PC PSMA expression and associate this with defective DNA damage repair ...
Identification of single nucleotide variants using position-specific error estimation in deep sequencing data
(2018-11-23)
<h4>Background</h4> Targeted deep sequencing is a highly effective technology to identify known and novel single nucleotide variants (SNVs) with many applications in translational medicine, disease monitoring and cancer ...
Quality assuring "Plan of the day" selection in a multicentre adaptive bladder trial: Implementation of a pre-accrual IGRT guidance and assessment module.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-11-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypofractionated bladder RT with or without image guided adaptive planning (HYBRID) is a multicentre clinical trial investigating "Plan of the Day" (PoD) adaptive radiotherapy for bladder cancer. ...
Inactivating NF1 Mutations Are Enriched in Advanced Breast Cancer and Contribute to Endocrine Therapy Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-02-01)
PURPOSE: Advanced breast cancer (ABC) has not been subjected to the same degree of molecular scrutiny as early primary cancer. Breast cancer evolves with time and under the selective pressure of treatment, with the potential ...
Chemotherapy-induced senescent cancer cells engulf other cells to enhance their survival.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2019-11-04)
In chemotherapy-treated breast cancer, wild-type p53 preferentially induces senescence over apoptosis, resulting in a persisting cell population constituting residual disease that drives relapse and poor patient survival ...
Klotho: A Major Shareholder in Vascular Aging Enterprises.
(MDPI, 2019-09-19)
Accelerated vascular aging is a condition that occurs as a complication of several highly prevalent inflammatory conditions such as chronic kidney disease, cancer, HIV infection and diabetes. Age-associated vascular ...
High Proliferation Rate and a Compromised Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Confers Sensitivity to the MPS1 Inhibitor BOS172722 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-01)
BOS172722 (CCT289346) is a highly potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of spindle assembly checkpoint kinase MPS1. BOS172722 treatment alone induces significant sensitization to death, particularly in highly ...
