UK consensus recommendations for clinical management of cancer risk for women with germline pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes: RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1 and PALB2.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-11-21)Germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) in the cancer predisposition genes BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, BRIP1, PALB2, RAD51D and RAD51C are identified in approximately 15% of patients with ovarian cancer (OC). While there ... -
Developing and testing a robotic MRI/CT fusion biopsy technique using a purpose-built interventional phantom.
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2022-11-22)BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to target tumour components in biopsy procedures, while the ability to precisely correlate histology and MRI signal is crucial for imaging biomarker validation. ... -
Structural basis for the inactivation of cytosolic DNA sensing by the vaccinia virus.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-18)Detection of cytosolic DNA is a central element of the innate immunity system against viral infection. The Ku heterodimer, a component of the NHEJ pathway of DNA repair in the nucleus, functions as DNA sensor that detects ... -

Targeting NaPi2b in ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-01-01)Novel biomarkers are needed to direct new treatments for ovarian cancer, a disease for which the standard of care remains heavily focused on platinum-based chemotherapy. Despite the success of PARP inhibitors, treatment ... -
Systemic Therapy for Hereditary Breast Cancers.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2023-02-01)Approximately 5% to 10% of all breast cancers are hereditary; many of which are caused by pathogenic variants in genes required for homologous recombination, including BRCA1 and BRCA2. Here we discuss systemic treatment ... -
A structural biology community assessment of AlphaFold2 applications.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-11-01)Most proteins fold into 3D structures that determine how they function and orchestrate the biological processes of the cell. Recent developments in computational methods for protein structure predictions have reached the ... -
Humor in radiological breast cancer screening: a way of improving patient service?
(BMC, 2022-10-08)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer screening is essential in detecting breast tumors, however, the examination is stressful. In this study we analyzed whether humor enhances patient satisfaction. METHODS: In this prospective ... -
An intrinsic temporal order of c-JUN N-terminal phosphorylation regulates its activity by orchestrating co-factor recruitment.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-10-17)Protein phosphorylation is a major regulatory mechanism of cellular signalling. The c-JUN proto-oncoprotein is phosphorylated at four residues within its transactivation domain (TAD) by the JNK family kinases, but the ... -
A North-West London Experience of the Impact of Treatment Related Toxicity on Clinical Outcomes of Elderly Patients with Germ Cell Tumors.
(MDPI, 2022-10-11)BACKGROUND/AIM: The occurrence of germ cell tumour (GCT) in the elderly is rare, with scarce data available. The aim of this study was to understand the clinical outcomes of patients with GCT in patients aged > 45 years. ... -
The reproductive ecology drivers of egg attendance in amphibians.
(WILEY, 2022-10-01)Parental care is extremely diverse but, despite much research, why parental care evolves is poorly understood. Here we address this outstanding question using egg attendance, the simplest and most common care form in many ... -
A functional interaction between liprin-α1 and B56γ regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A supports tumor cell motility.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-28)Scaffold liprin-α1 is required to assemble dynamic plasma membrane-associated platforms (PMAPs) at the front of migrating breast cancer cells, to promote protrusion and invasion. We show that the N-terminal region of ... -
The roles of intratumour heterogeneity in the biology and treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-10-14)Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) has become an important focus of cancer research in recent years. ITH describes the cellular variation that enables tumour evolution, including tumour progression, metastasis and resistance ... -
Overall Survival With Maintenance Olaparib at a 7-Year Follow-Up in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Advanced Ovarian Cancer and a BRCA Mutation: The SOLO1/GOG 3004 Trial.
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2022-09-09)PURPOSE: In SOLO1/GOG 3004 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01844986), maintenance therapy with the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib provided a sustained progression-free survival benefit in patients with ... -
Follicular thyroid carcinoma presenting with pathological fracture of the humerus at initial diagnosis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-01-19)Differentiated carcinomas of the thyroid gland usually have a good prognosis with prognosis often discussed in terms of 20 year survival. Nevertheless its 10-year-survival rate decreases when accompanied by distant metastasis. ... -
Snap, crackle and pop: when sneezing leads to crackling in the neck.
(BMJ, 2018-01-15)Spontaneous perforation of the pharynx is an unusual condition. Due to its non-specific presentation and general lack of awareness, diagnosis and intervention may be delayed resulting in potential complications. This case ... -
Tracheo-oesophageal fistula: a delayed complication of missed inhaled magnetic toys.
