Natural Selection in Cancer Biology: From Molecular Snowflakes to Trait Hallmarks
(2017-02)Evolution by natural selection is the conceptual foundation for nearly every branch of biology and increasingly also for biomedicine and medical research. In cancer biology, evolution explains how populations of cells in ... -
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. ... -
Re-challenge chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus carboplatin in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
(2013-10)Despite recent improvements to current therapies and the emergence of novel agents to manage advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the patients' overall survival remains poor. Re-challenging with first-line chemotherapy ... -
ATM mutation rather than BIRC3 deletion and/or mutation predicts reduced survival in 11q-deleted chronic lymphocytic leukemia: data from the UK LRF CLL4 trial
(2014-04)ATM mutation and BIRC3 deletion and/or mutation have independently been shown to have prognostic significance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. However, the relative clinical importance of these abnormalities in patients ... -
Combinatorial effects of splice variants modulate function of Aiolos
(2007)The transcription factor Aiolos ( also known as IKZF3), a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger proteins, plays an important role in the control of B lymphocyte differentiation and proliferation. Previously, multiple ... -
14-3-3 Proteins Interact with a Hybrid Prenyl-Phosphorylation Motif to Inhibit G Proteins
(Elsevier BV, 2013-04-01)Signaling through G proteins normally involves conformational switching between GTP- and GDP-bound states. Several Rho GTPases are also regulated by RhoGDI binding and sequestering in the cytosol. Rnd proteins are atypical ... -
Gastric Collision Tumors: An Insight into Their Origin and Clinical Significance
(2015)Collision tumors are rare neoplasms displaying two distinct cell populations developing in juxtaposition to one another without areas of intermingling. They are rare entities with only 63 cases described in English literature. ... -
Discriminative identification of transcriptional responses of promoters and enhancers after stimulus
(2017-01-01)Promoters and enhancers regulate the initiation of gene expression and maintenance of expression levels in spatial and temporal manner. Recent findings stemming from the Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) demonstrate ... -
Structure-guided design of purine-based probes for selective Nek2 inhibition
(2017)Nek2 (NIMA-related kinase 2) is a cell cycle-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates centrosome separation at the onset of mitosis. Overexpression of Nek2 is common in human cancers and suppression can ... -
Comparative genomics in chicken and Pekin duck using FISH mapping and microarray analysis
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2009-08)Background: The availability of the complete chicken (Gallus gallus) genome sequence as well as a large number of chicken probes for fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) and microarray resources facilitate comparative ... -
Same-day genomic and epigenomic diagnosis of brain tumors using real-time nanopore sequencing
(2017-11)Molecular classification of cancer has entered clinical routine to inform diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions. At the same time, new tumor entities have been identified that cannot be defined histologically. For ... -
An evaluation of the performance of HapMap SNP data in a Shanghai Chinese population: Analyses of allele frequency, linkage disequilibrium pattern and tagging SNPs transferability on chromosome Iq2I-q25
(2008-02)Background: The HapMap project aimed to catalog millions of common single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) in the human genome in four major populations, in order to facilitate association studies of complex diseases. To ... -
A novel diffuse gastric cancer susceptibility variant in E-cadherin (CDH1) intron 2: A case control study in an Italian population
(2008-05)Background: Inherited genetic factors such as E-cadherin (CDH1) promoter variants are believed to influence the risk towards sporadic diffuse gastric cancer (DGC). Recently, a new regulatory region essential for CDH1 ... -
Parallel RNAi screens across different cell lines identify generic and cell type-specific regulators of actin organization and cell morphology
(2009)Background: In recent years RNAi screening has proven a powerful tool for dissecting gene functions in animal cells in culture. However, to date, most RNAi screens have been performed in a single cell line, and results ... -
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 ... -
Direct Transcriptional Consequences of Somatic Mutation in Breast Cancer
(2016-08)Disordered transcriptomes of cancer encompass direct effects of somatic mutation on transcription, coordinated secondary pathway alterations, and increased transcriptional noise. To catalog the rules governing how somatic ... -

National implementation of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer detection - recommendations from a UK consensus meeting.
(WILEY, 2018-07-01)OBJECTIVES: To identify areas of agreement and disagreement in the implementation of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate in the diagnostic pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen UK experts ... -

Combined linkage and association analysis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-04-17)The heritability of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) has yet to be fully deciphered. We report a family with five members diagnosed with nodular sclerosis cHL. Genetic analysis of the family provided evidence of linkage ...
