Comparative epigenomics in distantly related teleost species identifies conserved cis-regulatory nodes active during the vertebrate phylotypic period
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2014-07-01)
The complex relationship between ontogeny and phylogeny has been the subject of attention and controversy since von Baer’s formulations in the 19th century. The classic concept that embryogenesis progresses from clade ...
The Immune Microenvironment Confers Resistance to MAPK Pathway Inhibitors through Macrophage-Derived TNF alpha
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2014-10-01)
Recently, the rationale for combining targeted therapy with immunotherapy has come to light, but our understanding of the immune response during MAPK pathway inhibitor treatment is limited. We discovered that the immune ...
A novel route to product specificity in the Suv4-20 family of histone H4K20 methyltransferases
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2014-01-01)
The delivery of site-specific post-translational modifications to histones generates an epigenetic regulatory network that directs fundamental DNA-mediated processes and governs key stages in development. Methylation of ...
European Myeloma Network recommendations on the evaluation and treatment of newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma.
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2014-02-01)
Multiple myeloma management has undergone profound changes in the past thanks to advances in our understanding of the disease biology and improvements in treatment and supportive care approaches. This article presents ...
The clinical relevance and management of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and related disorders: recommendations from the European Myeloma Network.
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2014-06-01)
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is one of the most common pre-malignant disorders. IgG and IgA monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance are precursor conditions of multiple myeloma; light-chain ...
Methylome analysis identifies a Wilms tumor epigenetic biomarker detectable in blood
(2014-01-01)
Background Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal malignancy and there is a clinical need for a molecular biomarker to assess treatment response and predict relapse. The known mutated genes in this tumor type show ...
Simulations of DNA topoisomerase 1B bound to supercoiled DNA reveal changes in the flexibility pattern of the enzyme and a secondary protein–DNA binding site
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-08-18)
Human topoisomerase 1B has been simulated covalently bound to a negatively supercoiled DNA minicircle, and its behavior compared to the enzyme bound to a simple linear DNA duplex. The presence of the more realistic supercoiled ...
Parity-related molecular signatures and breast cancer subtypes by estrogen receptor status.
(BMC, 2014-07-08)
INTRODUCTION: Relationships of parity with breast cancer risk are complex. Parity is associated with decreased risk of postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast tumors, but may increase risk for basal-like breast ...
RET recognition of GDNF-GFRα1 ligand by a composite binding site promotes membrane-proximal self-association.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-25)
The RET receptor tyrosine kinase is essential to vertebrate development and implicated in multiple human diseases. RET binds a cell surface bipartite ligand comprising a GDNF family ligand and a GFRα coreceptor, resulting ...
Refined histopathological predictors of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status: a large-scale analysis of breast cancer characteristics from the BCAC, CIMBA, and ENIGMA consortia.
(BMC, 2014-12-23)
INTRODUCTION: The distribution of histopathological features of invasive breast tumors in BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutation carriers differs from that of individuals with no known mutation. Histopathological features thus ...
