AI delivers Michaelis constants as fuel for genome-scale metabolic models.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2021-10-20)Michaelis constants (Km) are essential to predict the catalytic rate of enzymes, but are not widely available. A new study in PLOS Biology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately predict Km on a proteome-wide scale, ... -
Allele balance bias identifies systematic genotyping errors and false disease associations.
(WILEY, 2019-01-01)In recent years, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become a cornerstone of clinical genetics and diagnostics. Many clinical applications require high precision, especially if rare events such as somatic mutations in ... -
An alternative NURF complex sustains acute myeloid leukemia by regulating the accessibility of insulator regions.
(WILEY, 2023-12-11)Efficient treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients remains a challenge despite recent therapeutic advances. Here, using a CRISPRi screen targeting chromatin factors, we identified the nucleosome-remodeling factor ... -
An emerging role for IQGAP1 in tight junction control.
(2018-09)IQGAP1 is a scaffold protein involved in the assembly of adherens junctions. Our work has recently revealed a novel role for IQGAP1 in the regulation of tight junctions (TJ) through differential recruitment of claudins to ... -
An evaluation of self-perceived knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of UK oncologists about LGBTQ+ patients with cancer.
(2020-11)Introduction Over one million people in the UK identify as LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning). Research has shown that this population experience differing cancer risk factors compared with ... -
An evaluation of the performance of HapMap SNP data in a Shanghai Chinese population: Analyses of allele frequency, linkage disequilibrium pattern and tagging SNPs transferability on chromosome Iq2I-q25
(2008-02)Background: The HapMap project aimed to catalog millions of common single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) in the human genome in four major populations, in order to facilitate association studies of complex diseases. To ... -
An exploratory analysis of alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and prostate-specific antigen dynamics in the phase 3 ALSYMPCA trial with radium-223.
(2017-05)Background Baseline clinical variables are prognostic for overall survival (OS) in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Their prognostic and predictive value with agents targeting bone metastases, ... -
An Incidental Renal Oncocytoma: 18F-Choline PET/MRI
(MDPI AG, 2016-04-06)<jats:p>PET/MRI is a new hybrid imaging modality and has the potential to become a powerful imaging tool. It is currently one of the most active areas of research in diagnostic imaging. The characterisation of an incidental ... -
An intrinsically disordered proteins community for ELIXIR
(2019-10-15)Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are now recognised as major determinants in cellular regulation. This white paper presents a roadmap for future e-infrastructure developments ... -
Analyses of PD-L1 and Inflammatory Gene Expression Association with Efficacy of Nivolumab ± Ipilimumab in Gastric Cancer/Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer.
(2021-03-29)Purpose In advanced gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC), there is a need to identify biomarkers of response to therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.Patients and methods In post hoc exploratory ... -
Applying natural language processing and machine learning techniques to patient experience feedback: a systematic review.
Objectives Unstructured free-text patient feedback contains rich information, and analysing these data manually would require a lot of personnel resources which are not available in most healthcare organisations.To undertake ... -
Appropriately smoothing prevalence data to inform estimates of growth rate and reproduction number.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-06-22)The time-varying reproduction number (Rt) can change rapidly over the course of a pandemic due to changing restrictions, behaviours, and levels of population immunity. Many methods exist that allow the estimation of Rt ... -
Apremilast is a selective PDE4 inhibitor with regulatory effects on innate immunity.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2014-09-01)Apremilast, an oral small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), is in development for chronic inflammatory disorders, and has shown efficacy in psoriasis, psoriatic arthropathies, and Behçet's syndrome. In March ... -
Arc Requires PSD95 for Assembly into Postsynaptic Complexes Involved with Neural Dysfunction and Intelligence.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-10-17)Arc is an activity-regulated neuronal protein, but little is known about its interactions, assembly into multiprotein complexes, and role in human disease and cognition. We applied an integrated proteomic and genetic ... -
Are disruptive innovations recognised in the healthcare literature? A systematic review.
The study aims to conduct a systematic review to characterise the spread and use of the concept of 'disruptive innovation' within the healthcare sector. We aim to categorise references to the concept over time, across ... -
Are There Specific Cancer Stem Cell Markers?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-01-18)The cancer stem cell (CSC) model states that heterogeneous tumor cell populations are organized in a hierarchical manner, with a small population of CSCs at the apex. These CSCs are capable of self-renewal and giving rise ... -
