The cryo-electron microscopy structure of human transcription factor IIH.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-21)Human transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) is part of the general transcriptional machinery required by RNA polymerase II for the initiation of eukaryotic gene transcription. Composed of ten subunits that add up to a molecular ... -
The cryoelectron microscopy structure of the human CDK-activating kinase.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2020-09-15)The human CDK-activating kinase (CAK), a complex composed of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 7, cyclin H, and MAT1, is a critical regulator of transcription initiation and the cell cycle. It acts by phosphorylating the ... -
The Dandelion Dilemma Revisited for Oligoprogression: Treat the Whole Lawn or Weed Selectively?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2019-12-01)Oligoprogressive disease is a relatively new clinical concept describing progression at only a few sites of metastasis in patients with otherwise controlled widespread disease. In the era of well-tolerated targeted treatments, ... -
The deubiquitinase USP9X regulates FBW7 stability and suppresses colorectal cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-04-02)The tumor suppressor FBW7 targets oncoproteins such as c-MYC for ubiquitylation and is mutated in several human cancers. We noted that in a substantial percentage of colon cancers, FBW7 protein is undetectable despite the ... -
The deubiquitylase USP9X controls ribosomal stalling.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2021-03-01)When a ribosome stalls during translation, it runs the risk of collision with a trailing ribosome. Such an encounter leads to the formation of a stable di-ribosome complex, which needs to be resolved by a dedicated machinery. ... -
The effects of segmentation algorithms on the measurement of 18F-FDG PET texture parameters in non-small cell lung cancer.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-12-01)BACKGROUND: Measures of tumour heterogeneity derived from 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scans are increasingly reported as potential biomarkers of non-small cell ... -
The Emerging Role of Local Therapy in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
(2020-01-20)PURPOSE OF REVIEW:This review summarizes the prospective clinical evidence regarding local therapy in metastatic prostate cancer. RECENT FINDINGS:The phase 3 STAMPEDE trial showed that prostate radiotherapy confers a ... -
The Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource: 2022 release.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-01-07)Almost twenty years after its initial release, the Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM) resource remains an invaluable source of information for the study of motif-mediated protein-protein interactions. ELM provides a comprehensive, ... -
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, ... -
The expected burden of mesothelioma mortality in Great Britain from 2002 to 2050
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2005-02-14)The British mesothelioma register contains all deaths from 1968 to 2001 where mesothelioma was mentioned on the death certificate. These data were used to predict the future burden of mesothelioma mortality in Great Britain. ... -
The functional importance of structure in unstructured protein regions.
(CURRENT BIOLOGY LTD, 2019-06-01)After two decades of research, intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are established as a widespread phenomenon. The growing understanding of the significant functional role of IDRs has challenged the structure-function ... -
The histology of ovarian cancer: worldwide distribution and implications for international survival comparisons (CONCORD-2).
(2017-02)Objective Ovarian cancers comprise several histologically distinct tumour groups with widely different prognosis. We aimed to describe the worldwide distribution of ovarian cancer histology and to understand what role this ... -
The hypoxic cancer secretome induces pre-metastatic bone lesions through lysyl oxidase
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-06-04)Tumour metastasis is a complex process involving reciprocal interplay between cancer cells and host stroma at both primary and secondary sites, and is strongly influenced by microenvironmental factors such as hypoxia(1). ... -
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patterns of attendance at emergency departments in two large London hospitals: an observational study.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-09-23)BACKGROUND: Hospitals in England have undergone considerable change to address the surge in demand imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this on emergency department (ED) attendances is unknown, especially for ... -
