AMPK-independent inhibition of human macrophage ER stress response by AICAR.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-08-26)
Obesity-associated insulin resistance is driven by inflammatory processes in response to metabolic overload. Obesity-associated inflammation can be recapitulated in cell culture by exposing macrophages to saturated fatty ...
Signatures of positive selection reveal a universal role of chromatin modifiers as cancer driver genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-10-13)
Tumors are composed of an evolving population of cells subjected to tissue-specific selection, which fuels tumor heterogeneity and ultimately complicates cancer driver gene identification. Here, we integrate cancer cell ...
A Novel Statistical Method to Diagnose, Quantify and Correct Batch Effects in Genomic Studies.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-09-07)
Genome projects now generate large-scale data often produced at various time points by different laboratories using multiple platforms. This increases the potential for batch effects. Currently there are several batch ...
A non-cell autonomous mouse model of CNS haemangioblastoma mediated by mutant KRAS.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-21)
Haemangioblastoma is a rare malignancy of the CNS where vascular proliferation causes lesions due to endothelial propagation. We found that conditionally expressing mutant Kras, using Rag1-Cre, gave rise to CNS haemangioblastoma ...
The evolutionary landscape of colorectal tumorigenesis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-10-01)
The evolutionary events that cause colorectal adenomas (benign) to progress to carcinomas (malignant) remain largely undetermined. Using multi-region genome and exome sequencing of 24 benign and malignant colorectal tumours, ...
Robust RNA-based in situ mutation detection delineates colorectal cancer subclonal evolution.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-08)
Intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) is a major underlying cause of therapy resistance and disease recurrence, and is a read-out of tumor growth. Current genetic ITH analysis methods do not preserve spatial context and may not ...
Crypt fusion as a homeostatic mechanism in the human colon.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-11-01)
OBJECTIVE: The crypt population in the human intestine is dynamic: crypts can divide to produce two new daughter crypts through a process termed crypt fission, but whether this is balanced by a second process to remove ...
Quantitative histology analysis of the ovarian tumour microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2015-11-17)
Concerted efforts in genomic studies examining RNA transcription and DNA methylation patterns have revealed profound insights in prognostic ovarian cancer subtypes. On the other hand, abundant histology slides have been ...
Genome-wide homozygosity signature and risk of Hodgkin lymphoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2015-09-22)
Recent studies have reported that regions of homozygosity (ROH) in the genome are detectable in outbred populations and can be associated with an increased risk of malignancy. To examine whether homozygosity is associated ...
Intracellular immunization against HIV infection with an intracellular antibody that mimics HIV integrase binding to the cellular LEDGF protein.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-12-04)
Preventing the protein-protein interaction of the cellular chromatin binding protein Lens Epithelium-Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase is an important possible strategy for ...
