Splicing imbalances in basal-like breast cancer underpin perturbation of cell surface and oncogenic pathways and are associated with patients' survival.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-01-06)Despite advancements in the use of transcriptional information to understand and classify breast cancers, the contribution of splicing to the establishment and progression of these tumours has only recently starting to ... -
Stabilisation of TG-and AG-containing antiparrallel DNA triplexes by triplex-binding ligands
(2001-05-01)Stabilisation of TG-and AG-containing antiparrallel DNA triplexes by triplex-binding ligands. We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the interaction of several tripler-binding ligands with antiparallel TG- and AG- ... -
Standard wide local excision or bilateral reduction mammoplasty in large-breasted women with small tumours: Surgical and patient-reported outcomes.
(2017-04)Introduction Oncoplastic breast surgery is used to extend the role of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) to women with an unfavourable tumour to breast volume ratio. However, large-breasted women with a relatively small breast ... -
Starting CT-guided robotic interventional oncology at a UK centre.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2022-06-01)OBJECTIVE: A commercially available CT-guided robot offers enhanced abilities in planning, targeting, and confirming accurate needle placement. In this short communication, we describe our first UK experience of robotic ... -
Stereotactic Radiofrequency Ablation of Breast Cancer Liver Metastases: Short- and Long-Term Results with Predicting Factors for Survival.
(SPRINGER, 2021-08-01)PURPOSE: To evaluate safety, local oncological control, long-term outcome and potential prognostic factors of stereotactic RFA (SRFA) for the treatment of BCLMs. METHODS: Between July 2003 and December 2019, 42 consecutive ... -
Structural Aberrations with Secondary Implications (SASIs): consensus recommendations for reporting of cancer susceptibility genes identified during analysis of Copy Number Variants (CNVs).
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-11-01)Clinical testing with chromosomal microarray (CMA) is most commonly undertaken for clinical indications such as intellectual disability, dysmorphic features and/or congenital abnormalities. Identification of a structural ... -
Structural basis for the inactivation of cytosolic DNA sensing by the vaccinia virus.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-18)Detection of cytosolic DNA is a central element of the innate immunity system against viral infection. The Ku heterodimer, a component of the NHEJ pathway of DNA repair in the nucleus, functions as DNA sensor that detects ... -
A structural biology community assessment of AlphaFold2 applications.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-11-01)Most proteins fold into 3D structures that determine how they function and orchestrate the biological processes of the cell. Recent developments in computational methods for protein structure predictions have reached the ... -
Structural investigation of NTC and of the coupling between splicing and polyadenylation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-10-31)This PhD thesis is composed of two parts. The first and foremost part describes the reconstitution, isolation and analysis of human complexes involved in the coupling between splicing and polyadenylation, with a special ... -
Structure of the human RAD17-RFC clamp loader and 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp bound to a dsDNA-ssDNA junction.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-08-12)The RAD9-RAD1-HUS1 (9-1-1) clamp forms one half of the DNA damage checkpoint system that signals the presence of substantial regions of single-stranded DNA arising from replication fork collapse or resection of DNA double ... -
Structure-based design of selective and potent G quadruplex-mediated telomerase inhibitors
(2001-04-24)The telomerase enzyme is a potential therapeutic target in many human cancers. A series of potent inhibitors has been designed by computer modeling, which exploit the unique structural features of quadruplex DNA, These ... -
Structure-guided design of purine-based probes for selective Nek2 inhibition
(2017)Nek2 (NIMA-related kinase 2) is a cell cycle-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates centrosome separation at the onset of mitosis. Overexpression of Nek2 is common in human cancers and suppression can ... -
Study of Plasmodium falciparum DHHC palmitoyl transferases identifies a role for PfDHHC9 in gametocytogenesis.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)Palmitoylation is the post-translational reversible addition of the acyl moiety, palmitate, to cysteine residues of proteins and is involved in regulating protein trafficking, localization, stability and function. The ... -
Sub-minute Phosphoregulation of Cell Cycle Systems during Plasmodium Gamete Formation.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-11-14)The transmission of malaria parasites to mosquitoes relies on the rapid induction of sexual reproduction upon their ingestion into a blood meal. Haploid female and male gametocytes become activated and emerge from their ... -
Sunitinib in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
