Parallel RNAi screens across different cell lines identify generic and cell type-specific regulators of actin organization and cell morphology
(2009)
Background: In recent years RNAi screening has proven a powerful tool for dissecting gene functions in animal cells in culture. However, to date, most RNAi screens have been performed in a single cell line, and results ...
The evolving immunotherapeutic landscape in advanced oesophagogastric cancer.
(2018-01)
Improvements in median overall survival in the advanced oesophagogastric (OG) setting have plateaued, underlining the need for improved therapeutic approaches in this patient population. Immunotherapeutics are inducing ...
The potential role of MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy in pediatric oncology: Results from a SIOPE-COG survey.
Background and purpose Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) has been successfully implemented for several routine clinical applications in adult patients. The purpose of this study is to map the potential benefit ...
Platinum-Fluoropyrimidine and Paclitaxel-Based Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Advanced Anal Cancer Patients.
(2017-04)
Background Although treatment of localized anal cancer (AC) is well established, very little evidence is available to inform the management of advanced tumors, and the prognosis of these patients remains poor. We have ...
IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche.
(2020-02-07)
Our understanding of the signalling pathways regulating early human development is limited, despite their fundamental biological importance. Here, we mine transcriptomics datasets to investigate signalling in the human ...
Small-molecule targeting of brachyury transcription factor addiction in chordoma.
(2019-02)
Chordoma is a primary bone cancer with no approved therapy 1 . The identification of therapeutic targets in this disease has been challenging due to the infrequent occurrence of clinically actionable somatic mutations in ...
Laser-free pelvic alignment in an online adaptive radiotherapy environment.
(2020-03)
The MR-Linac (MRL) provides a novel treatment modality that enables online adaptive treatments, but also creates new challenges for patient positioning in a laser-free environment. The accuracy and duration of prostate ...
Proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles from a Plasmodium falciparum Kenyan clinical isolate defines a core parasite secretome
(2017-11-22)
Background : Many pathogens secrete effector molecules to subvert host immune responses, to acquire nutrients, and/or to prepare host cells for invasion. One of the ways that effector molecules are secreted is through ...
CoverView: a sequence quality evaluation tool for next generation sequencing data.
(2018-01)
Quality assurance and quality control are essential for robust next generation sequencing (NGS). Here we present CoverView, a fast, flexible, user-friendly quality evaluation tool for NGS data. CoverView processes mapped ...
