Recovery of Salivary Function: Contralateral Parotid-sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy versus Bilateral Superficial Lobe Parotid-sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2016-09-01)
AIMS: To establish whether there is a difference in recovery of salivary function with bilateral superficial lobe parotid-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (BSLPS-IMRT) versus contralateral parotid-sparing IMRT ...
Overexpression of MYB drives proliferation of CYLD-defective cylindroma cells.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-06-01)
Cutaneous cylindroma is an adnexal tumour with apocrine differentiation. A predisposition to multiple cylindromas is seen in patients with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, who carry germline mutations in the tumour suppressor ...
Nanostructures from Synthetic Genetic Polymers.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016-06-16)
Nanoscale objects of increasing complexity can be constructed from DNA or RNA. However, the scope of potential applications could be enhanced by expanding beyond the moderate chemical diversity of natural nucleic acids. ...
Drug repositioning in sarcomas and other rare tumors.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-03-17)
Cell shape and the microenvironment regulate nuclear translocation of NF-κB in breast epithelial and tumor cells.
(WILEY, 2015-03-03)
Although a great deal is known about the signaling events that promote nuclear translocation of NF-κB, how cellular biophysics and the microenvironment might regulate the dynamics of this pathway is poorly understood. In ...
Direct involvement of retinoblastoma family proteins in DNA repair by non-homologous end-joining.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-03-31)
Deficiencies in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair lead to genetic instability, a recognized cause of cancer initiation and evolution. We report that the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB1) is required for DNA ...
MicroRNA-135b promotes cancer progression by acting as a downstream effector of oncogenic pathways in colon cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-04-14)
MicroRNA deregulation is frequent in human colorectal cancers (CRCs), but little is known as to whether it represents a bystander event or actually drives tumor progression in vivo. We show that miR-135b overexpression is ...
Prospective, longitudinal, multi-modal functional imaging for radical chemo-IMRT treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer: the INSIGHT study.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2015-05-15)
BACKGROUND: Radical chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) is an effective organ-sparing treatment option for patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC). Despite advances in treatment for LAHNC, a significant minority ...
Candidate gene association studies and risk of Hodgkin lymphoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(WILEY, 2017-03-01)
To evaluate the contribution of association studies of candidate polymorphisms to inherited predisposition to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published case-control studies. Of ...
Oncogenic KRAS sensitizes premalignant, but not malignant cells, to Noxa-dependent apoptosis through the activation of the MEK/ERK pathway.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2015-05-10)
KRAS is mutated in about 20-25% of all human cancers and especially in pancreatic, lung and colorectal tumors. Oncogenic KRAS stimulates several pro-survival pathways, but it also triggers the trans-activation of pro-apoptotic ...
