A systematic molecular and pharmacologic evaluation of AKT inhibitors reveals new insight into their biological activity.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-08-18)
BACKGROUND: AKT, a critical effector of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling cascade, is an intensely pursued therapeutic target in oncology. Two distinct classes of AKT inhibitors have been in clinical development, ...
Inhibitors in AKTion: ATP-competitive vs allosteric.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2020-06-30)
Aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway is one of the commonest oncogenic events in human cancer. AKT is a key mediator of PI3K oncogenic function, and thus has been intensely pursued as a therapeutic target. Multiple AKT ...
Is the IDH Mutation a Good Target for Chondrosarcoma Treatment?
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-01)
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Chondrosarcomas are rare cancers of bone that arise from the malignant transformation of cells of chondrocytic lineage. They are known to be resistant to systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy ...
Scanning Electron Microscopy of Circulating Tumor Cells and Tumor-Derived Extracellular Vesicles.
(MDPI, 2018-10-31)
To explore morphological features of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (tdEVs), we developed a protocol for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of CTCs and tdEVs. CTCs and tdEVs were ...
Toward a real liquid biopsy in metastatic breast and prostate cancer: Diagnostic LeukApheresis increases CTC yields in a European prospective multicenter study (CTCTrap).
(WILEY, 2018-11-15)
Frequently, the number of circulating tumor cells (CTC) isolated in 7.5 mL of blood is too small to reliably determine tumor heterogeneity and to be representative as a "liquid biopsy". In the EU FP7 program CTCTrap, we ...
Is heterogeneity in stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer obscuring the potential benefits of dose-escalated concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in clinical trials?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018-04-01)
The current standard of care for the management of inoperable stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) using radiotherapy dose-fractionation and chemotherapy regimens that were ...
Plasma Tie2 is a tumor vascular response biomarker for VEGF inhibitors in metastatic colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-07)
Oncological use of anti-angiogenic VEGF inhibitors has been limited by the lack of informative biomarkers. Previously we reported circulating Tie2 as a vascular response biomarker for bevacizumab-treated ovarian cancer ...
Architecture of the chromatin remodeler RSC and insights into its nucleosome engagement.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2019-12-30)
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into nucleosome arrays, which are repositioned by chromatin remodeling complexes to control DNA accessibility. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RSC (Remodeling the Structure of Chromatin) complex, a ...
Oxygen-enhanced MRI Is Feasible, Repeatable, and Detects Radiotherapy-induced Change in Hypoxia in Xenograft Models and in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-07-01)
PURPOSE: Hypoxia is associated with poor prognosis and is predictive of poor response to cancer treatments, including radiotherapy. Developing noninvasive biomarkers that both detect hypoxia prior to treatment and track ...
Diffusion model comparison identifies distinct tumor sub-regions and tracks treatment response.
(WILEY, 2020-09-01)
PURPOSE: MRI biomarkers of tumor response to treatment are typically obtained from parameters derived from a model applied to pre-treatment and post-treatment data. However, as tumors are spatially and temporally heterogeneous, ...
