Measuring the distribution of fitness effects in somatic evolution by combining clonal dynamics with dN/dS ratios.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-03-30)The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) defines how new mutations spread through an evolving population. The ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous mutations (dN/dS) has become a popular method to detect selection in ... -
Measuring tumour evolution at the genetic and epigenetic level in individual patients from cancer genomic data
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)High-throughput genomic data from cancers uncovered high intra and inter-tumour heterogeneity and subclonal architecture of cancer cell populations. If we consider cells as asexually reproducing individuals, we can apply ... -
Meis1 is an essential and rate-limiting regulator of MLL leukemia stem cell potential
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2007-11-01)Oncogenic mutations of the MLL histone methyltransferase confer an unusual ability to transform non-self-renewing myeloid progenitors into leukemia stem cells (LSCs) by mechanisms that remain poorly defined. Misregulation ... -
MEKK3 coordinates with FBW7 to regulate WDR62 stability and neurogenesis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-12-01)Mutations of WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) lead to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH), and down-regulation of WDR62 expression causes the loss of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, how WDR62 is regulated ... -
Metabolic plasticity maintains proliferation in pyruvate dehydrogenase deficient cells.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-01-01)BACKGROUND: Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) occupies a central node of intermediary metabolism, converting pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, thus committing carbon derived from glucose to an aerobic fate rather than an anaerobic one. ... -
Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma to the Cervical Lymph Nodes From an Unknown Primary Cancer: Management in the HPV Era.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-11-10)BACKGROUND: Patients with metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck and no obvious primary tumor, neck cancer with unknown primary (NCUP), represent a management challenge. A majority of patients have metastatic squamous ... -
Milestones in dosimetry for nuclear medicine therapy.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022-07-01)Nuclear Medicine therapy has reached a critical juncture with an unprecedented number of patients being treated and an extensive list of new radiopharmaceuticals under development. Since the early applications of these ... -
Mini-mesohepatectomy for tumours at the hepatocaval confluence: A cases series and review of the literature.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-06-30)Liver lesions located adjacent to the middle hepatic vein (MHV) at the hepatocaval confluence are rare. Mini-mesohepatectomy (MMH) allows resection of these lesions with preservation of liver parenchymal volume thus reducing ... -
MobiDB: intrinsically disordered proteins in 2021.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-08)The MobiDB database (URL: https://mobidb.org/) provides predictions and annotations for intrinsically disordered proteins. Here, we report recent developments implemented in MobiDB version 4, regarding the database format, ... -
Modeling evolutionary dynamics of epigenetic mutations in hierarchically organized tumors.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2011-05-05)The cancer stem cell (CSC) concept is a highly debated topic in cancer research. While experimental evidence in favor of the cancer stem cell theory is apparently abundant, the results are often criticized as being difficult ... -
Modeling the Subclonal Evolution of Cancer Cell Populations
(2018-02)Increasing evidence shows that tumor clonal architectures are often the consequence of a complex branching process, yet little is known about the expected dynamics and extent to which these divergent subclonal expansions ... -
Molecular alterations in triple-negative breast cancer-the road to new treatment strategies.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017-06-17)Triple-negative breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and specific therapies have not been available for a long time. Therefore, conventional chemotherapy is still considered the clinical state of the art. Different ... -
Molecular mechanisms of PARP inhibitor sensitivity in primary triple negative breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-08-31)Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) encompasses molecularly different subgroups, with a subgroup harbouring evidence of defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. At present there are no biomarkers available in ... -

(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-10-13)PURPOSE: We present the results of a post hoc tumor tissue analysis from the phase 3 MILO/ENGOT-ov11 study (NCT01849874). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Mutation/copy-number analysis was performed on tissue obtained pre-randomization. ... -
MR-guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer: state of the art and future perspectives.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2022-03-01)Advances in radiotherapy technology have increased precision of treatment delivery and in some tumour types, improved cure rates and decreased side effects. A new generation of radiotherapy machines, hybrids of an MRI ... -
MS4A3 promotes differentiation in chronic myeloid leukemia by enhancing common β-chain cytokine receptor endocytosis
(American Society of Hematology, 2022-02-03)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) is characterized by the excessive production of maturating myeloid cells. As CML stem/progenitor cells (LSPCs) ... -
Multiparametric MRI to improve detection of prostate cancer compared with transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy alone: the PROMIS study.
