Ubiquitin-mediated regulation of necroptosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)
Regulated cell death is a fundamental cellular process that is critical for the development and survival of multicellular organisms. Cell death and inflammation are essential to restore tissue homeostasis following tissue ...
Prostate specific membrane antigen and DNA damage repair in advanced prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-03-31)
Identification and implementation of novel therapeutic strategies for advanced prostate cancer (PCa) remains an urgent, unmet clinical need. Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a PCa biomarker, is currently being ...
Defining the role of SF3B1K700E mutations in ER+ breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Mutations in SF3B1, a component of the RNA splicing machinery, underpin a number of aggressive cancers. Hotspot mutations in SF3B1 are present in around 3% of breast cancers, are enriched in oestrogen receptor positive ...
Functional studies of genome architectural proteins CTCF and ZNF143
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
The genome architecture and gene transcription are interdependent. The way chromatin is packed within the nucleus controls when and how genes are expressed. A lot of chromatin interacting proteins are involved to ensure ...
Improving outcomes for the lung cancer patient with impaired lung function
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-03-31)
Lung function impairment is common amongst patients with lung cancers. Identifying the patients that are most likely to benefit from anti-cancers therapies, without suffering significant toxicities, is central to improving ...
Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) of the normal bone marrow in children and effects of local and systemic cancer therapies
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Bone marrow, one of the largest organs in the body, is a highly proliferative tissue because of its dynamic function in providing the cellular elements of blood. In a paediatric population, the proportion of red marrow ...
An evaluation of contouring and planning methods to expand the role of SBRT with CyberKnife in the treatment of localised prostate and renal cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)
Technological advancement has led to the substantial evolution of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The CyberKnife SBRT platform achieves a high degree of precision through robotic delivery of multiple non-coplanar ...
Molecular characterisation of muscle-invasive bladder cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis. There is a clinical need for biomarkers in MIBC to guide treatment strategy for individual patients and improve outcomes. ...
A study of the co-evolution of the genome and epigenome in colorectal cancer using multi-omics profiling
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)
Combining large scale in silico analysis with fragment screening to identify novel, ligandable secondary sites in cancer-associated proteins
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)
Proteins often have multiple binding sites involved in interactions with other molecules. The majority of currently approved drugs bind a protein's primary site, the major functional site in the protein. Targeting the ...
