Ubiquitin-mediated regulation of necroptosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)
Regulated cell death is a fundamental cellular process that is critical for the development and survival of multicellular organisms. Cell death and inflammation are essential to restore tissue homeostasis following tissue ...
Defining the role of SF3B1K700E mutations in ER+ breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Mutations in SF3B1, a component of the RNA splicing machinery, underpin a number of aggressive cancers. Hotspot mutations in SF3B1 are present in around 3% of breast cancers, are enriched in oestrogen receptor positive ...
Late recurrence in ER+ breast cancer - refining risk prediction beyond 5 years
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)
ER positive (ER+) breast cancer has the potential to recur many years following diagnosis. Predicting who is most at risk of recurrence and when this may occur is complex. Risk prediction incorporates clinical, pathological ...
Identification of novel targets for the treatment of endocrine-resistant breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)
While endocrine therapy is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for oestrogen receptor positive (ER-positive) breast cancer, a large proportion of initial responders will develop hormone therapy resistance, and relapse. ...
Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor Testing in Breast Cancer: American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists Guideline Update.
(2020-05)
PURPOSE.—:To update key recommendations of the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) testing in breast cancer guideline. METHODS.—:A ...
Targeting the tumour microenvironment with endosialin-directed CAR T-cells
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)
Advances in T-cell engineering have facilitated the generation of CAR T-cells that successfully deplete malignant cells of haematological cancers. However, attempts to target solid tumours with CAR T-cells have been hindered ...
Selective autophagy controls innate immune response through a TAK1/TAB2/SH3PX1 axis.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-01-25)
Selective autophagy is a catabolic route that turns over specific cellular material for degradation by lysosomes, and whose role in the regulation of innate immunity is largely unexplored. Here, we show that the apical ...
DRP1 levels determine the apoptotic threshold during embryonic differentiation through a mitophagy-dependent mechanism.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-06-06)
The changes that drive differentiation facilitate the emergence of abnormal cells that need to be removed before they contribute to further development or the germline. Consequently, in mice in the lead-up to gastrulation, ...
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancers have patient specific hormone sensitivities and rely on progesterone receptor.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-06)
Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER, PR) signaling control breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. ER is an established driver of ER + disease but the role of the PR, itself an ER target gene, is debated. ...
ERG activity is regulated by endothelial FAK coupling with TRIM25/USP9x in vascular patterning.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2022-07-01)
Precise vascular patterning is crucial for normal growth and development. The ERG transcription factor drives Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4)/Notch signalling and is thought to act as a pivotal regulator of endothelial cell ...
