Germ line mutations in shelterin complex genes are associated with familial chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2016-11-10)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can be familial; however, thus far no rare germ line disruptive alleles for CLL have been identified. We performed whole-exome sequencing of 66 CLL families, identifying 4 families where ...
Investigating intracranial tumour growth patterns with multiparametric MRI incorporating Gd-DTPA and USPIO-enhanced imaging.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)
High grade and metastatic brain tumours exhibit considerable spatial variations in proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, necrosis and oedema. Vascular heterogeneity arising from vascular co-option in regions of invasive ...
Genetic Predisposition to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Is Mediated by a BMF Super-Enhancer Polymorphism.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-08-23)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an adult B cell malignancy. Genome-wide association studies show that variation at 15q15.1 influences CLL risk. We deciphered the causal variant at 15q15.1 and the mechanism by which ...
Validating a robust double-quantum-filtered (1) H MRS lactate measurement method in high-grade brain tumours.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-10-01)
(1) H MRS measurements of lactate are often confounded by overlapping lipid signals. Double-quantum (DQ) filtering eliminates lipid signals and permits single-shot measurements, which avoid subtraction artefacts in moving ...
Investigating the Vascular Phenotype of Subcutaneously and Orthotopically Propagated PC3 Prostate Cancer Xenografts Using Combined Carbogen Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide MRI.
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2016-10-01)
The aim of this study was to use the combined carbogen-ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (CUSPIO) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method, which uses spatial correlations in independent susceptibility imaging biomarkers, ...
Synthesis and Evaluation of a 2,11-Cembranoid-Inspired Library.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016-04-11)
The 2,11-cembranoid family of natural products has been used as inspiration for the synthesis of a structurally simplified, functionally diverse library of octahydroisobenzofuran-based compounds designed to augment a typical ...
Abdo-Man: a 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom for validating quantitative SIRT.
(SPRINGER, 2016-08-05)
BACKGROUND: The use of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is rapidly increasing, and the need for quantification and dosimetry is becoming more widespread to facilitate treatment planning and verification. The aim ...
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)-Based Methods for Examining Cancer Metabolism in Response to Oncogenic Kinase Drug Treatment.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2017-01-01)
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical technique that has been extensively used to examine reprogrammed metabolism and treatment response in cancer cells and solid tumors both in vivo and ex vivo. High-resolution ...
Noninvasive high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome: A preliminary in vivo study.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2016-07-13)
We investigated the efficacy, maternofetal responses, and safety of using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for noninvasive occlusion of placental vasculature compared to sham treatment in anesthetized pregnant ...
Combine and conquer: challenges for targeted therapy combinations in early phase trials.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-01)
Our increasing understanding of cancer biology has led to the development of molecularly targeted anticancer drugs. The full potential of these agents has not, however, been realised, owing to the presence of de novo ...
