COMPOUNDS AND THEIR USES
(2013-02-21)
The invention provides a compound that is an inhibitor of one or both of TBK1 and IKKe, or a down-regulator of the expression of one or both of TBK1 and IKKe, for use in a method of treating a cancer that is dependent on ...
Optical photon transport in powdered-phosphor scintillators. Part II. Calculation of single-scattering transport parameters
(AMER ASSOC PHYSICISTS MEDICINE AMER INST PHYSICS, 2013-04)
Purpose: Monte Carlo methods based on the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) have previously been used to model light transport in powdered-phosphor scintillator screens. Physically motivated guesses or, alternatively, the ...
Genetic Tracing via DNGR-1 Expression History Defines Dendritic Cells as a Hematopoietic Lineage
(CELL PRESS, 2013-08-15)
Mononuclear phagocytes are classified as macrophages or dendritic cells (DCs) based on cell morphology, phenotype, or select functional properties. However, these attributes are not absolute and often overlap, leading to ...
Recurrent inactivation of STAG2 in bladder cancer is not associated with aneuploidy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-12-01)
Urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) is heterogeneous at the clinical, pathological and genetic levels. Tumor invasiveness (T) and grade (G) are the main factors associated with outcome and determine patient management. A ...
The Anaphase Promoting Complex Contributes to the Degradation of the S. cerevisiae Telomerase Recruitment Subunit Est1p
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2013-01-25)
Telomerase is a multi-subunit enzyme that reverse transcribes telomere repeats onto the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes and is therefore critical for genome stability. S. cerevisiae telomerase activity is cell-cycle ...
Re-challenge chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus carboplatin in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
(2013-10)
Despite recent improvements to current therapies and the emergence of novel agents to manage advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the patients' overall survival remains poor. Re-challenging with first-line chemotherapy ...
The NSD1 and EZH2 overgrowth genes, similarities and differences.
(2013-05)
NSD1 and EZH2 are SET domain-containing histone methyltransferases that play key roles in the regulation of transcription through histone modification and chromatin modeling: NSD1 preferentially methylates lysine residue ...
Mir143 expression inversely correlates with nuclear ERK5 immunoreactivity in clinical prostate cancer
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-01-15)
Background: Aberrant mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (MEK5)-extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (ERK5)-mediated signalling has been implicated in a number of tumour types including prostate ...
Optical photon transport in powdered-phosphor scintillators. Part 1. Multiple-scattering and validity of the Boltzmann transport equation
(AMER ASSOC PHYSICISTS MEDICINE AMER INST PHYSICS, 2013-04)
Purpose: In Part 1 of this two-part work, predictions for light transport in powdered-phosphor screens are made, based on three distinct approaches. Predictions of geometrical optics-based ray tracing through an explicit ...
Dual blockade of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (AZD8055) and RAS/MEK/ERK (AZD6244) pathways synergistically inhibits rhabdomyosarcoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2013-08-05)
PURPOSE: To provide rationale for using phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and/or mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibitors to treat rhabdomyosarcomas, a major cause of pediatric and adolescent cancer deaths. ...
