TGF-β1 potentiates Vγ9Vδ2 T cell adoptive immunotherapy of cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-12-21)Despite its role in cancer surveillance, adoptive immunotherapy using γδ T cells has achieved limited efficacy. To enhance trafficking to bone marrow, circulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are expanded in serum-free medium containing ... -
The Anaphase Promoting Complex Contributes to the Degradation of the S. cerevisiae Telomerase Recruitment Subunit Est1p
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2013-01-25)Telomerase is a multi-subunit enzyme that reverse transcribes telomere repeats onto the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes and is therefore critical for genome stability. S. cerevisiae telomerase activity is cell-cycle ... -
The application of Hadoop in structural bioinformatics.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-11-20)The paper reviews the use of the Hadoop platform in structural bioinformatics applications. For structural bioinformatics, Hadoop provides a new framework to analyse large fractions of the Protein Data Bank that is key for ... -
The articles.ELM resource: simplifying access to protein linear motif literature by annotation, text-mining and classification.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-01-01)Modern biology produces data at a staggering rate. Yet, much of these biological data is still isolated in the text, figures, tables and supplementary materials of articles. As a result, biological information created at ... -
The Association of Intraoperative driving pressure with postoperative pulmonary complications in open versus closed abdominal surgery patients - a posthoc propensity score-weighted cohort analysis of the LAS VEGAS study.
(BMC, 2021-03-19)BACKGROUND: It is uncertain whether the association of the intraoperative driving pressure (ΔP) with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) depends on the surgical approach during abdominal surgery. Our primary ... -
The BRCA1-Δ11q Alternative Splice Isoform Bypasses Germline Mutations and Promotes Therapeutic Resistance to PARP Inhibition and Cisplatin.
(2016-05)Breast and ovarian cancer patients harboring BRCA1/2 germline mutations have clinically benefitted from therapy with PARP inhibitor (PARPi) or platinum compounds, but acquired resistance limits clinical impact. In this ... -
The complete structure of the human TFIIH core complex.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2019-03-12)Transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) is a heterodecameric protein complex critical for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II and nucleotide excision DNA repair. The TFIIH core complex is sufficient for its repair ... -
The comprehensive English National Lynch Syndrome Registry: development and description of a new genomics data resource.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-03-01)BACKGROUND: Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a cancer predisposition syndrome caused by constitutional pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. To date, fragmentation of clinical and genomic data has restricted ... -
The concerns of oncology professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic: results from the ESMO Resilience Task Force survey II.
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant changes to professional and personal lives of oncology professionals globally. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Resilience Task Force collaboration ... -
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 ... -
