Characterization of the diffusion coefficient of blood.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
PURPOSE: To characterize the diffusion coefficient of human blood for accurate results in intravoxel incoherent motion imaging. METHODS: Diffusion-weighted MRI of blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers was acquired with ...
A Compendium of Co-regulated Protein Complexes in Breast Cancer Reveals Collateral Loss Events.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-10-25)
Protein complexes are responsible for the bulk of activities within the cell, but how their behavior and abundance varies across tumors remains poorly understood. By combining proteomic profiles of breast tumors with a ...
Diverse BRCA1 and BRCA2 Reversion Mutations in Circulating Cell-Free DNA of Therapy-Resistant Breast or Ovarian Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-11-01)
Purpose: Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy or PARP inhibition in germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers may occur through somatic reversion mutations or intragenic deletions that restore BRCA1 or BRCA2 function. ...
Neutral tumor evolution in myeloma is associated with poor prognosis.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2017-10-05)
Recent studies suggest that the evolutionary history of a cancer is important in forecasting clinical outlook. To gain insight into the clonal dynamics of multiple myeloma (MM) and its possible influence on patient outcomes, ...
Citrobacter rodentium Subverts ATP Flux and Cholesterol Homeostasis in Intestinal Epithelial Cells In Vivo.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-11-07)
The intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) that line the gut form a robust line of defense against ingested pathogens. We investigated the impact of infection with the enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium on mouse IEC ...
Interferon-driven alterations of the host's amino acid metabolism in the pathogenesis of typhoid fever.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2016-05-30)
Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, is an important public health problem in resource-limited settings and, despite decades of research, human responses to the infection are poorly understood. In ...
Combined MYC and P53 defects emerge at medulloblastoma relapse and define rapidly progressive, therapeutically targetable disease.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-12)
We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. Combined MYC family amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, ...
Parity-related molecular signatures and breast cancer subtypes by estrogen receptor status.
(BMC, 2014-07-08)
INTRODUCTION: Relationships of parity with breast cancer risk are complex. Parity is associated with decreased risk of postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast tumors, but may increase risk for basal-like breast ...
Loss of INPP4B causes a DNA repair defect through loss of BRCA1, ATM and ATR and can be targeted with PARP inhibitor treatment.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2015-04-30)
Treatment options for ovarian cancer patients remain limited and overall survival is less than 50% despite recent clinical advances. The lipid phosphatase inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) has been ...
Diffusion-weighted MRI for imaging cell death after cytotoxic or apoptosis-inducing therapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-04-28)
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive serial imaging is desirable to detect processes such as necrotic and apoptotic cell death in cancer patients undergoing treatment. This study investigated the use of diffusion-weighted (DW-) magnetic ...
