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 ...
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 ...
Splicing imbalances in basal-like breast cancer underpin perturbation of cell surface and oncogenic pathways and are associated with patients' survival.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-01-06)
Despite advancements in the use of transcriptional information to understand and classify breast cancers, the contribution of splicing to the establishment and progression of these tumours has only recently starting to ...
