National survey of fiducial marker insertion for prostate image guided radiotherapy.
Introduction In the United Kingdom fiducial marker IGRT is the second most common verification method employed in radical prostate radiotherapy yet little evidence exists to support centres introducing or developing this ... -
Natural Selection in Cancer Biology: From Molecular Snowflakes to Trait Hallmarks
(2017-02)Evolution by natural selection is the conceptual foundation for nearly every branch of biology and increasingly also for biomedicine and medical research. In cancer biology, evolution explains how populations of cells in ... -
Negative and positive regulation of HIF-1: A complex network
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2005-07-25)Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is as a key transcriptional mediator of the hypoxic response in eukaryotic cells, regulating the expression of a myriad of genes involved in oxygen transport, glucose uptake and glycolysis ... -
Network medicine
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-02-20)To more effectively target complex diseases like cancer, diabetes and schizophrenia, we may need to rethink our strategies for drug development and the selection of molecular targets for pharmacological treatments. Here, ... -
Network-based drugs and biomarkers.
(2010-01)The structure and dynamics of protein signalling networks governs cell decision processes and the formation of tissue boundaries. Complex diseases such as cancer and diabetes are diseases of such networks. Therefore ... -
NetworKIN: a resource for exploring cellular phosphorylation networks
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2008-01)Protein kinases control cellular responses by phosphorylating specific substrates. Recent proteome-wide mapping of protein phosphorylation sites by mass spectrometry has discovered thousands of in vivo sites. Systematically ... -

Neuroblastoma survivors are at increased risk for second malignancies: A report from the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Project.
(2017-02)Background The incidence of second malignant neoplasm (SMN) within the first ten years of diagnosis in high-risk neuroblastoma patients treated with modern, intensive therapy is unknown. Further, the underlying germline ... -
New insights into the families of PLC enzymes: looking back and going forward
(Portland Press Limited, 2005)A study in this issue of the Biochemical Journal by Harden and colleagues, in association with one published in the Biochemical Journal very recently [Hwang, Oh, Shin, Kim, Ryu and Suh (2005) Biochem. J. 389, 181–186], ... -
New method for the preparation of 3 ‘- and 2 ‘-O-phosphoramidites of 2 ‘- and 3 ‘-difluoromethyluridine derivatives
(2002)Hydrogenation of 2-deoxy-2’-difluoromethylene-5’-O-dimethoxytrityluridine (1) and 3’-deoxy-3’-difluoromethylene-5’-O-dimethoxytrityluridine (7), gave the corresponding 2- and 3’-difluoromethyluridine derivatives 2a and 8a. ... -
New Model for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients With Cancer
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2017-08-20)Purpose The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for carboplatin chemotherapy dosing; however, the best method to estimate GFR in patients with cancer is unknown. We identify the most accurate and least biased ... -
New Roles of Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Breast Cancer.
Since the proof of concept of synthetic lethality between poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition and loss of BRCA1/2 homologous recombination (HR) function in preclinical models and early phase clinical trials, poly(ADP-ribose) ... -
Nipple sparing versus skin sparing mastectomy: a systematic review protocol.
(2016-05-20)Introduction Breast cancer has a lifetime incidence of one in eight women. Over the past three decades there has been a move towards breast conservation and a focus on aesthetic outcomes while maintaining oncological safety. ... -
Nipple-sparing mastectomy in women at high risk of developing breast cancer.
(2018-06)Nipple-sparing mastectomy is a valuable addition to the options available for women at high risk of developing breast cancer. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the high-risk genes, BRCA1 , BRCA2 and TP53 ... -
