Intestinal Epithelial Cells and the Microbiome Undergo Swift Reprogramming at the Inception of Colonic Citrobacter rodentium Infection.
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2019-04-02)We used the mouse attaching and effacing (A/E) pathogen Citrobacter rodentium, which models the human A/E pathogens enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EPEC and EHEC), to temporally resolve ... -
Integrin-Mediated Macrophage Adhesion Promotes Lymphovascular Dissemination in Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-05-14)Lymphatic vasculature is crucial for metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, cellular and molecular drivers controlling lymphovascular metastasis are poorly understood. We define a macrophage-dependent ... -
PP1 and PP2A Use Opposite Phospho-dependencies to Control Distinct Processes at the Kinetochore.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-08-20)PP1 and PP2A-B56 are major serine/threonine phosphatase families that achieve specificity by colocalizing with substrates. At the kinetochore, however, both phosphatases localize to an almost identical molecular space and ... -
Citrobacter rodentium induces rapid and unique metabolic and inflammatory responses in mice suffering from severe disease.
(WILEY-HINDAWI, 2020-01-01)The mouse pathogen Citrobacter rodentium is used to model infections with enterohaemorrhagic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EHEC and EPEC). Pathogenesis is commonly modelled in mice developing mild disease (e.g., ... -
ELM-the eukaryotic linear motif resource in 2020.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-01-08)The eukaryotic linear motif (ELM) resource is a repository of manually curated experimentally validated short linear motifs (SLiMs). Since the initial release almost 20 years ago, ELM has become an indispensable resource ... -
Cell-type-specific visualisation and biochemical isolation of endogenous synaptic proteins in mice.
(WILEY, 2020-02-01)In recent years, the remarkable molecular complexity of synapses has been revealed, with over 1,000 proteins identified in the synapse proteome. Although it is known that different receptors and other synaptic proteins are ... -
Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)Given the global burden of diarrheal diseases on healthcare it is surprising how little is known about the drivers of disease severity. Colitis caused by infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by ... -
Single-cell transcriptomics identifies an effectorness gradient shaping the response of CD4+ T cells to cytokines.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-04-14)Naïve CD4+ T cells coordinate the immune response by acquiring an effector phenotype in response to cytokines. However, the cytokine responses in memory T cells remain largely understudied. Here we use quantitative proteomics, ... -
Measuring the distribution of fitness effects in somatic evolution by combining clonal dynamics with dN/dS ratios.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-03-30)The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) defines how new mutations spread through an evolving population. The ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous mutations (dN/dS) has become a popular method to detect selection in ... -
Dual Inhibitors of PARPs and ROCKs.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-10-31)Recent network and system biology analyses suggest that most complex diseases are regulated by robust and highly interconnected pathways that could be better modulated by small molecules binding to multiple biological ... -
Germline-focussed analysis of tumour-only sequencing: recommendations from the ESMO Precision Medicine Working Group.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-08-01)It is increasingly common in oncology practice to perform tumour sequencing using large cancer panels. For pathogenic sequence variants in cancer susceptibility genes identified on tumour-only sequencing, it is often unclear ... -
Cancer Variant Interpretation Group UK (CanVIG-UK): an exemplar national subspecialty multidisciplinary network.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-12-01)Advances in technology have led to a massive expansion in the capacity for genomic analysis, with a commensurate fall in costs. The clinical indications for genomic testing have evolved markedly; the volume of clinical ... -
Laser-free pelvic alignment in an online adaptive radiotherapy environment.
(2020-03)The MR-Linac (MRL) provides a novel treatment modality that enables online adaptive treatments, but also creates new challenges for patient positioning in a laser-free environment. The accuracy and duration of prostate ... -
Phosphorylation-mediated interactions with TOPBP1 couple 53BP1 and 9-1-1 to control the G1 DNA damage checkpoint.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2019-05-28)Coordination of the cellular response to DNA damage is organised by multi-domain 'scaffold' proteins, including 53BP1 and TOPBP1, which recognise post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, methylation and ... -
Measuring tumour evolution at the genetic and epigenetic level in individual patients from cancer genomic data
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)High-throughput genomic data from cancers uncovered high intra and inter-tumour heterogeneity and subclonal architecture of cancer cell populations. If we consider cells as asexually reproducing individuals, we can apply ... -
Measuring Clonal Evolution in Cancer with Genomics.
(ANNUAL REVIEWS, 2019-08-31)Cancers originate from somatic cells in the human body that have accumulated genetic alterations. These mutations modify the phenotype of the cells, allowing them to escape the homeostatic regulation that maintains normal ... -
Reprogramming of Amino Acid Transporters to Support Aspartate and Glutamate Dependency Sustains Endocrine Resistance in Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-07-02)Endocrine therapy (ET) is the standard of care for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers. Despite its efficacy, ∼40% of women relapse with ET-resistant (ETR) disease. A global transcription analysis in ETR cells ... -
Simulation of a radiobiology facility for the Centre for the Clinical Application of Particles.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-09-01)The Centre for the Clinical Application of Particles' Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications (LhARA) facility is being studied and requires simulation of novel accelerator components (such as the Gabor ... -
The application of Hadoop in structural bioinformatics.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-11-20)The paper reviews the use of the Hadoop platform in structural bioinformatics applications. For structural bioinformatics, Hadoop provides a new framework to analyse large fractions of the Protein Data Bank that is key for ...
