Neuregulin-3 regulates epithelial progenitor cell positioning and specifies mammary phenotype.
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2014-11-15)Mutation of Neuregulin-3 (Nrg3) results in defective embryonic mammary gland development. Here, we investigate functions of Nrg3 signaling in embryonic mammary morphogenesis. Nrg3 regulates the distribution of epithelial ... -
Next Generation Sequencing Assay for Detection of Circulating HPV DNA (cHPV-DNA) in Patients Undergoing Radical (Chemo)Radiotherapy in Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC).
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-04-17)Background: Following chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) for human papilloma virus positive (HPV+) anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC), detection of residual/recurrent disease is challenging. Patients frequently undergo unnecessary ... -
Next-Generation Sequencing and Image-Guided Tissue Sampling: A Primer for Interventional Radiologists.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-03-01)The discovery of increasing numbers of actionable molecular and gene targets for cancer treatment has driven the demand for tissue sampling for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Requirements for sequencing can be very ... -
Night shift work and risk of breast cancer in women: the Generations Study cohort.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-16)BACKGROUND: It is plausible that night shift work could affect breast cancer risk, possibly by melatonin suppression or circadian clock disruption, but epidemiological evidence is inconclusive. METHODS: Using serial ... -

No clinical utility of KRAS variant rs61764370 for ovarian or breast cancer.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2016-05-01)OBJECTIVE: Clinical genetic testing is commercially available for rs61764370, an inherited variant residing in a KRAS 3' UTR microRNA binding site, based on suggested associations with increased ovarian and breast cancer ... -
No evidence that protein truncating variants in BRIP1 are associated with breast cancer risk: implications for gene panel testing.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-05-01)BACKGROUND: BRCA1 interacting protein C-terminal helicase 1 (BRIP1) is one of the Fanconi Anaemia Complementation (FANC) group family of DNA repair proteins. Biallelic mutations in BRIP1 are responsible for FANC group J, ... -
Novel 18-gene signature for predicting relapse in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
(2018-09-04)Background Several prognostic signatures for early oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer have been established with a 10-year follow-up. We tested the hypothesis that signatures optimised for 0-5-year and 5-10-year ... -
Novel 18-gene signature for predicting relapse in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
(BMC, 2018-09-04)BACKGROUND: Several prognostic signatures for early oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer have been established with a 10-year follow-up. We tested the hypothesis that signatures optimised for 0-5-year and 5-10-year ... -
Novel biochemical, structural, and systems insights into inflammatory signaling revealed by contextual interaction proteomics.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2022-10-04)Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) represent the main mode of the proteome organization in the cell. In the last decade, several large-scale representations of PPI networks have captured generic aspects of the functional ... -
Obesity and Breast Cancer Risk in Men: A National Case-Control Study in England and Wales.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-09-01)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is rare in men, and information on its causes is very limited from studies that have generally been small. Adult obesity has been shown as a risk factor, but more detailed anthropometric relations ... -
Observational cohort study in older women with early breast cancer: Use of radiation therapy and impact on health-related quality of life and mortality.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2021-06-16)BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy reduces in-breast recurrence risk in early breast cancer (EBC) in older women. This benefit may be small and should be balanced against treatment effect and holistic patient assessment. This study ... -
Oestrogen receptor α AF-1 and AF-2 domains have cell population-specific functions in the mammary epithelium.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-09)Oestrogen receptor α (ERα) is a transcription factor with ligand-independent and ligand-dependent activation functions (AF)-1 and -2. Oestrogens control postnatal mammary gland development acting on a subset of mammary ... -
Olaparib and Ceralasertib (AZD6738) in Patients with Triple-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer: Results from Cohort E of the plasmaMATCH Trial (CRUK/15/010).
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-12-01)PURPOSE: Approximately 10% to 15% of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) have deleterious mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 and may benefit from PARP inhibitor treatment. PARP inhibitors may also increase exogenous replication ... -
Oncogenic KRAS sensitizes premalignant, but not malignant cells, to Noxa-dependent apoptosis through the activation of the MEK/ERK pathway.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2015-05-10)KRAS is mutated in about 20-25% of all human cancers and especially in pancreatic, lung and colorectal tumors. Oncogenic KRAS stimulates several pro-survival pathways, but it also triggers the trans-activation of pro-apoptotic ... -
