Landscape of somatic mutations in 560 breast cancer whole-genome sequences.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-06-02)
We analysed whole-genome sequences of 560 breast cancers to advance understanding of the driver mutations conferring clonal advantage and the mutational processes generating somatic mutations. We found that 93 protein-coding ...
Targeting folate receptor alpha for cancer treatment.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-08-09)
Promising targeted treatments and immunotherapy strategies in oncology and advancements in our understanding of molecular pathways that underpin cancer development have reignited interest in the tumor-associated antigen ...
HRDetect is a predictor of BRCA1 and BRCA2 deficiency based on mutational signatures.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-01)
Approximately 1-5% of breast cancers are attributed to inherited mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 and are selectively sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. In other cancer types, germline and/or somatic ...
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 ...
Tandem duplications contribute to not one but two distinct phenotypes.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2016-09-06)
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 ...
Genomic Evolution of Breast Cancer Metastasis and Relapse.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-08-14)
Patterns of genomic evolution between primary and metastatic breast cancer have not been studied in large numbers, despite patients with metastatic breast cancer having dismal survival. We sequenced whole genomes or a panel ...
Visualization of Tumor-Immune Interaction - Target-Specific Imaging of S100A8/A9 Reveals Pre-Metastatic Niche Establishment.
(IVYSPRING INT PUBL, 2017-06-15)
Background Systemic cancer spread is preceded by the establishment of a permissive microenvironment in the target tissue of metastasis - the premetastatic niche. As crucial players in establishment of the pre-metastatic ...
Somatic mutations reveal asymmetric cellular dynamics in the early human embryo.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-30)
Somatic cells acquire mutations throughout the course of an individual's life. Mutations occurring early in embryogenesis are often present in a substantial proportion of, but not all, cells in postnatal humans and thus ...
RORγt+ Innate Lymphoid Cells Promote Lymph Node Metastasis of Breast Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-03-01)
Cancer cells tend to metastasize first to tumor-draining lymph nodes, but the mechanisms mediating cancer cell invasion into the lymphatic vasculature remain little understood. Here, we show that in the human breast tumor ...
