Short tandem repeat profiling provides an international reference standard for human cell lines
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2001-07-03)Cross-contamination between cell lines is a longstanding and frequent cause of scientific misrepresentation. Estimates from national testing services indicate that up to 36% of cell lines are of a different origin or species ... -
Short-Term Wearable Sensors for In-Hospital Medical and Surgical Patients: Mixed Methods Analysis of Patient Perspectives.
(2021-04-22)Background Continuous vital sign monitoring using wearable sensors may enable early detection of patient deterioration and sepsis.Objective This study aimed to explore patient experiences with wearable sensor technology ... -
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 ... -

Single-cell genetic analysis of clonal dynamics in colorectal adenomas indicates CDX2 gain as a predictor of recurrence.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)Colorectal adenomas are common precancerous lesions with the potential for malignant transformation to colorectal adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic polypectomy provides an opportunity for cancer prevention; however, recurrence ... -
Single-cell transcriptomics identifies an effectorness gradient shaping the response of CD4+ T cells to cytokines.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-04-14)Naïve CD4+ T cells coordinate the immune response by acquiring an effector phenotype in response to cytokines. However, the cytokine responses in memory T cells remain largely understudied. Here we use quantitative proteomics, ... -
SIRT3 controls brown fat thermogenesis by deacetylation regulation of pathways upstream of UCP1.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019-07-01)OBJECTIVE: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is important for thermoregulation in many mammals. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the critical regulator of thermogenesis in BAT. Here we aimed to investigate the deacetylation control ... -
SLiM-binding pockets: an attractive target for broad-spectrum antivirals.
(CELL PRESS, 2023-01-07)Short linear motif (SLiM)-mediated interactions offer a unique strategy for viral intervention due to their compact interfaces, ease of convergent evolution, and key functional roles. Consequently, many viruses extensively ... -
Snap, crackle and pop: when sneezing leads to crackling in the neck.
(BMJ, 2018-01-15)Spontaneous perforation of the pharynx is an unusual condition. Due to its non-specific presentation and general lack of awareness, diagnosis and intervention may be delayed resulting in potential complications. This case ... -
Social and Contextual Influences on Antibiotic Prescribing and Antimicrobial Stewardship: A Qualitative Study with Clinical Commissioning Group and General Practice Professionals.
(MDPI AG, 2020-12-01)Antibiotic prescribing in England varies considerably between Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and general practices. We aimed to assess social and contextual factors affecting antibiotic prescribing and engagement ... -
