Cell-type-specific eQTL of primary melanocytes facilitates identification of melanoma susceptibility genes.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-11-01)
Most expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies to date have been performed in heterogeneous tissues as opposed to specific cell types. To better understand the cell-type-specific regulatory landscape of human ...
A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Among 97,898 Women to Identify Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-09-15)
Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 35 loci associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. The majority of GWAS-identified disease susceptibility variants are located in ...
Association of p16 expression with prognosis varies across ovarian carcinoma histotypes: an Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis consortium study.
(WILEY, 2018-10-01)
We aimed to validate the prognostic association of p16 expression in ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) and to explore it in other ovarian carcinoma histotypes. p16 protein expression was assessed by clinical-grade ...
Risks of ovarian, breast, and corpus uteri cancer in women treated with assisted reproductive technology in Great Britain, 1991-2010: data linkage study including 2.2 million person years of observation.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-11)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risks of ovarian, breast, and corpus uteri cancer in women who have had assisted reproduction. DESIGN: Large, population based, data linkage cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: All women ...
Diagnostic ultrasound probes: a typology and overview of technologies
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2018-09-01)
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>The routine clinical use of diagnostic ultrasound (US) has spread considerably worldwide in recent decades. This is due in large part to the availability of US probes ...
The Citrobacter rodentium type III secretion system effector EspO affects mucosal damage repair and antimicrobial responses.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-10-01)
Infection with Citrobacter rodentium triggers robust tissue damage repair responses, manifested by secretion of IL-22, in the absence of which mice succumbed to the infection. Of the main hallmarks of C. rodentium infection ...
Age-related sarcoma patient experience: results from a national survey in England.
(BMC, 2018-10-17)
BACKGROUND: Sarcomas are rare, heterogeneous tumours affecting patients of any age. Previous surveys describe that sarcoma patients report a significantly worse experience than those with common cancers. Consequently, ...
Novel adaptive beam-dependent margins for additional OAR sparing.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2018-10-29)
Margins are employed in radiotherapy treatment planning to mitigate the dosimetric effects of geometric uncertainties for the clinical target volume (CTV). Unfortunately, whilst the use of margins can increase the probability ...
What are the main inefficiencies in trial conduct: a survey of UKCRC registered clinical trials units in the UK
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-12-01)
EpCAMhigh and EpCAMlow circulating tumor cells in metastatic prostate and breast cancer patients.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-11-02)
The presence of high expressing epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAMhigh) circulating tumor cells (CTC) enumerated by CellSearch® in blood of cancer patients is strongly associated with poor prognosis. This raises the ...
