Evaluation of the Response of Intracranial Xenografts to VEGF Signaling Inhibition Using Multiparametric MRI.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017-09-01)
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is considered one of the most important factors in tumor angiogenesis, and consequently, a number of therapeutics have been developed to inhibit VEGF signaling. Therapeutic ...
Decreased function of survival motor neuron protein impairs endocytic pathways.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2016-07-26)
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by depletion of the ubiquitously expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, with 1 in 40 Caucasians being heterozygous for a disease allele. SMN is critical for the assembly of ...
Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2β regulates a novel signaling pathway involved in breast cancer progression.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-04-05)
It is now well established that the enzymes phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have a key role in the development and progression of many cancer types and indeed PI3Ks inhibitors are currently being tested in clinical ...
Systematic analysis of tumour cell-extracellular matrix adhesion identifies independent prognostic factors in breast cancer.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-08-17)
Tumour cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are fundamental for discrete steps in breast cancer progression. In particular, cancer cell adhesion to ECM proteins present in the microenvironment is critical for ...
Multiparametric Analysis of Cell Shape Demonstrates that β-PIX Directly Couples YAP Activation to Extracellular Matrix Adhesion.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-01-25)
Mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cellular geometry regulate the nuclear translocation of transcriptional regulators such as Yes-associated protein (YAP). Elucidating how physical signals control ...
Catch my drift? Making sense of genomic intra-tumour heterogeneity.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-04-01)
The cancer genome is shaped by three components of the evolutionary process: mutation, selection and drift. While many studies have focused on the first two components, the role of drift in cancer evolution has received ...
Novel therapeutic approaches in chondrosarcoma.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2017-03-01)
Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor of bones, characterized by the production of cartilage matrix. Due to lack of effective treatment for advanced disease, the clinical management of chondrosarcomas is exceptionally ...
PARK2 Depletion Connects Energy and Oxidative Stress to PI3K/Akt Activation via PTEN S-Nitrosylation.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-03-16)
PARK2 is a gene implicated in disease states with opposing responses in cell fate determination, yet its contribution in pro-survival signaling is largely unknown. Here we show that PARK2 is altered in over a third of all ...
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Biomarkers in Glioblastoma: Current Status and Future Perspectives.
(HINDAWI LTD, 2017-01-01)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a primary neuroepithelial tumor of the central nervous system, characterized by an extremely aggressive clinical phenotype. Patients with GBM have a poor prognosis and only 3-5% of them survive for ...
Recurrent MET fusion genes represent a drug target in pediatric glioblastoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-11-01)
Pediatric glioblastoma is one of the most common and most deadly brain tumors in childhood. Using an integrative genetic analysis of 53 pediatric glioblastomas and five in vitro model systems, we identified previously ...
