A Big Bang model of human colorectal tumor growth.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-03-01)What happens in early, still undetectable human malignancies is unknown because direct observations are impractical. Here we present and validate a 'Big Bang' model, whereby tumors grow predominantly as a single expansion ... -
Ribosome. The complete structure of the 55S mammalian mitochondrial ribosome.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-04-17)Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) synthesize mitochondrially encoded membrane proteins that are critical for mitochondrial function. Here we present the complete atomic structure of the porcine 55S mitoribosome ... -
Hippo Stabilises Its Adaptor Salvador by Antagonising the HECT Ubiquitin Ligase Herc4
(2015-06)Signalling through the Hippo (Hpo) pathway involves a kinase cascade, which leads to the phosphorylation and inactivation of the pro-growth transcriptional co-activator Yorkie (Yki). Despite the identification of a large ... -
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). ... -
Cancer across the tree of life: cooperation and cheating in multicellularity
(2015-07)Multicellularity is characterized by cooperation among cells for the development, maintenance and reproduction of the multicellular organism. Cancer can be viewed as cheating within this cooperative multicellular system. ... -
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 ... -
Many private mutations originate from the first few divisions of a human colorectal adenoma.
(WILEY, 2015-11-01)Intratumoural mutational heterogeneity (ITH) or the presence of different private mutations in different parts of the same tumour is commonly observed in human tumours. The mechanisms generating such ITH are uncertain. ... -
ATM Localization and Heterochromatin Repair Depend on Direct Interaction of the 53BP1-BRCT2 Domain with γH2AX.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-12-15)53BP1 plays multiple roles in mammalian DNA damage repair, mediating pathway choice and facilitating DNA double-strand break repair in heterochromatin. Although it possesses a C-terminal BRCT2 domain, commonly involved in ... -
Crosstalk between Innate Lymphoid Cells and Other Immune Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment.
(HINDAWI LTD, 2016-01-01)Our knowledge and understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been recently expanded with the recognition of the important role of innate lymphoid cells (ILC). Three different groups of ILC have been described ... -
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 ... -
Insertion of the Biogenesis Factor Rei1 Probes the Ribosomal Tunnel during 60S Maturation.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-01-14)Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis depends on several hundred assembly factors to produce functional 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits. The final phase of 60S subunit biogenesis is cytoplasmic maturation, which includes the ... -
Identification of neutral tumor evolution across cancer types.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-03-01)Despite extraordinary efforts to profile cancer genomes, interpreting the vast amount of genomic data in the light of cancer evolution remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that neutral tumor evolution results in a ... -
Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2β regulates a novel signaling pathway involved in breast cancer progression.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-04-05)It is now well established that the enzymes phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have a key role in the development and progression of many cancer types and indeed PI3Ks inhibitors are currently being tested in clinical ... -
An Incidental Renal Oncocytoma: 18F-Choline PET/MRI
(MDPI AG, 2016-04-06) -
The Ku-binding motif is a conserved module for recruitment and stimulation of non-homologous end-joining proteins.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-04-11)The Ku-binding motif (KBM) is a short peptide module first identified in APLF that we now show is also present in Werner syndrome protein (WRN) and in Modulator of retrovirus infection homologue (MRI). We also identify a ... -
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 ... -
Follow-up after treatment for head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2016-05-01)This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. In the absence of high-level evidence base for follow-up practices, the duration and ... -
Differential effects of lenalidomide during plasma cell differentiation.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-05-10)Thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide have greatly improved the outcome of patients with multiple myeloma. However, their effects on plasma cells, the healthy counterpart of myeloma cells, are unknown. Here, we ... -
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. ... -
