Pan-cancer analysis of the extent and consequences of intratumor heterogeneity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-01-01)
Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) drives neoplastic progression and therapeutic resistance. We used the bioinformatics tools 'expanding ploidy and allele frequency on nested subpopulations' (EXPANDS) and PyClone to detect ...
Should tissue structure suppress or amplify selection to minimize cancer risk?
(2016-08-01)
Background: It has been frequently argued that tissues evolved to suppress the accumulation of growth enhancing cancer inducing mutations. A prominent example is the hierarchical structure of tissues with high cell turnover, ...
CRISPR screens identify genomic ribonucleotides as a source of PARP-trapping lesions.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-12)
The observation that BRCA1- and BRCA2-deficient cells are sensitive to inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) has spurred the development of cancer therapies that use these inhibitors to target deficiencies in ...
IL-23 secreted by myeloid cells drives castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-19)
Patients with prostate cancer frequently show resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy, a condition known as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Acquiring a better understanding of the mechanisms that control ...
European Myeloma Network recommendations on the evaluation and treatment of newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma.
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2014-02-01)
Multiple myeloma management has undergone profound changes in the past thanks to advances in our understanding of the disease biology and improvements in treatment and supportive care approaches. This article presents ...
The clinical relevance and management of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and related disorders: recommendations from the European Myeloma Network.
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2014-06-01)
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is one of the most common pre-malignant disorders. IgG and IgA monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance are precursor conditions of multiple myeloma; light-chain ...
14-3-3 Proteins Interact with a Hybrid Prenyl-Phosphorylation Motif to Inhibit G Proteins
(Elsevier BV, 2013-04-01)
Signaling through G proteins normally involves conformational switching between GTP- and GDP-bound states. Several Rho GTPases are also regulated by RhoGDI binding and sequestering in the cytosol. Rnd proteins are atypical ...
Phylogenetic Position of a Copper Age Sheep (Ovis aries) Mitochondrial DNA
(2012-03-01)
Background: Sheep (Ovis aries) were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region about 9,000-8,000 years ago. Currently, few mitochondrial (mt) DNA studies are available on archaeological sheep. In particular, no data on ...
Methylome analysis identifies a Wilms tumor epigenetic biomarker detectable in blood
(2014-01-01)
Background Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal malignancy and there is a clinical need for a molecular biomarker to assess treatment response and predict relapse. The known mutated genes in this tumor type show ...
Genetic Variants in Epigenetic Pathways and Risks of Multiple Cancers in the GAME-ON Consortium.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-06-01)
Background: Epigenetic disturbances are crucial in cancer initiation, potentially with pleiotropic effects, and may be influenced by the genetic background.Methods: In a subsets (ASSET) meta-analytic approach, we investigated ...
