Solution NMR assignment of the ARC4 domain of human tankyrase 2.
(SPRINGER, 2019-04-15)
Tankyrases are poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases (PARPs) which recognize their substrates via their ankyrin repeat cluster (ARC) domains. The human tankyrases (TNKS/TNKS2) contain five ARCs in their extensive N-terminal region; ...
Comparison of the dose escalation potential for two hypofractionated radiotherapy regimens for locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-03-08)
OBJECTIVES: To determine the potential for dose escalation to a biological equivalent dose BED10 ≅ 100 Gy in hypofractionated radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten unselected ...
SIRT3 controls brown fat thermogenesis by deacetylation regulation of pathways upstream of UCP1.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is important for thermoregulation in many mammals. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the critical regulator of thermogenesis in BAT. Here we aimed to investigate the deacetylation control ...
ALK2 inhibitors display beneficial effects in preclinical models of ACVR1 mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-09)
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal childhood brainstem tumour, with a quarter of patients harbouring somatic mutations in ACVR1, encoding the serine/threonine kinase ALK2. Despite being an amenable drug ...
Epigenome-wide association study for lifetime estrogen exposure identifies an epigenetic signature associated with breast cancer risk.
(BMC, 2019-04-30)
BACKGROUND: It is well established that estrogens and other hormonal factors influence breast cancer susceptibility. We hypothesized that a woman's total lifetime estrogen exposure accumulates changes in DNA methylation, ...
Lung Cancer Risk in Never-Smokers of European Descent is Associated With Genetic Variation in the 5p15.33 TERT-CLPTM1Ll Region.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-08-01)
INTRODUCTION: Inherited susceptibility to lung cancer risk in never-smokers is poorly understood. The major reason for this gap in knowledge is that this disease is relatively uncommon (except in Asians), making it difficult ...
Molecular Residual Disease and Adjuvant Trial Design in Solid Tumors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10)
Advances in diagnosis and treatment have resulted in a high rate of survival for many patients with early-stage cancers. However, identifying who is at ongoing risk of relapse remains of high priority to direct subsequent ...
The functional importance of structure in unstructured protein regions.
(CURRENT BIOLOGY LTD, 2019-06-01)
After two decades of research, intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are established as a widespread phenomenon. The growing understanding of the significant functional role of IDRs has challenged the structure-function ...
Germline-focussed analysis of tumour-only sequencing: recommendations from the ESMO Precision Medicine Working Group.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-08-01)
It is increasingly common in oncology practice to perform tumour sequencing using large cancer panels. For pathogenic sequence variants in cancer susceptibility genes identified on tumour-only sequencing, it is often unclear ...
Reduced inter-observer and intra-observer delineation variation in esophageal cancer radiotherapy by use of fiducial markers.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-06-03)
Objective: Delineation variation of esophageal tumors remains a large source of geometric uncertainty. In the present study, we investigated the inter- and intra-observer variation in esophageal gross tumor volume (GTV) ...
