p.Val804Met, the Most Frequent Pathogenic Mutation in RET, Confers a Very Low Lifetime Risk of Medullary Thyroid Cancer.
(ENDOCRINE SOC, 2018-11-01)CONTEXT: To date, penetrance figures for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) for variants in rearranged during transfection (RET) have been estimated from families ascertained because of the presence of MTC. OBJECTIVE: To gain ... -
Pan-cancer analysis of the extent and consequences of intratumor heterogeneity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-01-01)Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) drives neoplastic progression and therapeutic resistance. We used the bioinformatics tools 'expanding ploidy and allele frequency on nested subpopulations' (EXPANDS) and PyClone to detect ... -
Pan-cancer deconvolution of tumour composition using DNA methylation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-13)The nature and extent of immune cell infiltration into solid tumours are key determinants of therapeutic response. Here, using a DNA methylation-based approach to tumour cell fraction deconvolution, we report the integrated ... -
Parallel RNAi screens across different cell lines identify generic and cell type-specific regulators of actin organization and cell morphology
(2009)Background: In recent years RNAi screening has proven a powerful tool for dissecting gene functions in animal cells in culture. However, to date, most RNAi screens have been performed in a single cell line, and results ... -
Parallel transmit pulse design for saturation homogeneity (PUSH) for magnetization transfer imaging at 7T.
<h4>Purpose</h4>This work proposes a novel RF pulse design for parallel transmit (pTx) systems to obtain uniform saturation of semisolid magnetization for magnetization transfer (MT) contrast in the presence of transmit ... -
PARP3 is a sensor of nicked nucleosomes and monoribosylates histone H2B(Glu2).
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-08-17)PARP3 is a member of the ADP-ribosyl transferase superfamily that we show accelerates the repair of chromosomal DNA single-strand breaks in avian DT40 cells. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance experiments reveal ... -
Patient and clinician satisfaction and clinical outcomes of Magseed compared with wire-guided localisation for impalpable breast lesions.
(2021-01)Background Guide-wire localisation remains the most commonly used technique for localisation of impalpable breast lesions in the UK. One alternative is magnetic seed localisation. We aimed to investigate patient and clinician ... -
Patient positioning and immobilization procedures for hybrid MR-Linac systems.
(2021-09-20)Hybrid magnetic resonance (MR)-guided linear accelerators represent a new horizon in the field of radiation oncology. By harnessing the favorable combination of on-board MR-imaging with the possibility to daily recalculate ... -
Patient preferences for whole-body MRI or conventional staging pathways in lung and colorectal cancer: a discrete choice experiment.
(2019-07)Objectives To determine the importance placed by patients on attributes associated with whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) and standard cancer staging pathways and ascertain drivers of preference. Methods Patients recruited to two ... -
PET/MRI in Oncological Imaging: State of the Art.
(MDPI AG, 2015-07-21)Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a hybrid technology which has recently gained interest as a potential cancer imaging tool. Compared with CT, MRI is advantageous due to ... -
Phase 1b study of berzosertib and cisplatin in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-07)Platinum derivatives are commonly used for the treatment of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, resistance often develops, leading to treatment failure. This expansion cohort (part C2) ... -
Phase III Trial of PROSTVAC in Asymptomatic or Minimally Symptomatic Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(2019-05)PURPOSE:PROSTVAC, a viral vector-based immunotherapy, prolonged median overall survival (OS) by 8.5 months versus placebo in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a phase II study. This phase III study further ... -
Phase III, randomized trial of mirvetuximab soravtansine versus chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer: primary analysis of FORWARD I.
Background Mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a folate receptor alpha (FRα)-binding antibody, cleavable linker, and the maytansinoid DM4, a potent tubulin-targeting agent. The randomized, ... -
Phosphatase specificity principles uncovered by MRBLE:Dephos and global substrate identification.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-12-06)Phosphoprotein phosphatases (PPPs) regulate major signaling pathways, but the determinants of phosphatase specificity are poorly understood. This is because methods to investigate this at scale are lacking. Here, we develop ... -
Phosphorylation-Dependent Assembly of a 14-3-3 Mediated Signaling Complex during Red Blood Cell Invasion by Plasmodium falciparum Merozoites.
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2020-08-18)Red blood cell (RBC) invasion by Plasmodium merozoites requires multiple steps that are regulated by signaling pathways. Exposure of P. falciparum merozoites to the physiological signal of low K+, as found in blood plasma, ... -
Phosphorylation-dependent assembly of DNA damage response systems and the central roles of TOPBP1.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-10-19)The cellular response to DNA damage (DDR) that causes replication collapse and/or DNA double strand breaks, is characterised by a massive change in the post-translational modifications (PTM) of hundreds of proteins involved ... -
