Structural basis for the inhibition of cGAS by nucleosomes.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2020-10-23)The cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS) senses invasion of pathogenic DNA and stimulates inflammatory signaling, autophagy, and apoptosis. Organization of host DNA into nucleosomes was ... -
Structural basis for the modulation of MRP2 activity by phosphorylation and drugs.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024-03-04)Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) is a polyspecific efflux transporter of organic anions expressed in hepatocyte canalicular membranes. MRP2 dysfunction, in Dubin-Johnson syndrome or by off-target ... -
The structure and mechanism of the EXD2 nuclease in DNA repair
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-06-09)DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most toxic DNA lesions. They can jeopardise stability of the genome and lead to cancer development. There are two main pathways of DSB repair: homologous recombination (HR) ... -
Structure of a nucleosome-bound MuvB transcription factor complex reveals DNA remodelling.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-29)Genes encoding the core cell cycle machinery are transcriptionally regulated by the MuvB family of protein complexes in a cell cycle-specific manner. Complexes of MuvB with the transcription factors B-MYB and FOXM1 activate ... -
Suboptimal T-cell Therapy Drives a Tumor Cell Mutator Phenotype That Promotes Escape from First-Line Treatment.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-05-01)Antitumor T-cell responses raised by first-line therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, tumor cell vaccines, and viroimmunotherapy tend to be weak, both quantitatively (low frequency) and qualitatively (low affinity). ... -
Subversion of NK-cell and TNFα Immune Surveillance Drives Tumor Recurrence.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-11-01)Understanding how incompletely cleared primary tumors transition from minimal residual disease (MRD) into treatment-resistant, immune-invisible recurrences has major clinical significance. We show here that this transition ... -
Surgeon-led multi-centre collaborative research in head and neck cancer : studies in remote triage, transoral robotic surgery for recurrent disease and consensus management in unknown primary disease
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-01-23)Head and neck cancer (HNC) is newly diagnosed in around 1.5 million people each year, making it the sixth most common type of cancer worldwide. Some elements of HNC care are common and can be adequately investigated in a ... -
Synergistic antitumour effects of rapamycin and oncolytic reovirus.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)There are currently numerous oncolytic viruses undergoing clinical trial evaluation in cancer patients and one agent, Talimogene laherparepvec, has been approved for the treatment of malignant melanoma. This progress ... -
Synovial Sarcoma of the Thyroid Gland, Diagnostic Pitfalls and Clinical Management.
(2018-09)Background/aim Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma that tends to affect young adults. There are few reports on primary synovial sarcoma of the thyroid and the aim of this study was to document the clinical and ... -
Systematic analysis of tumour cell-extracellular matrix adhesion identifies independent prognostic factors in breast cancer.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-08-17)Tumour cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are fundamental for discrete steps in breast cancer progression. In particular, cancer cell adhesion to ECM proteins present in the microenvironment is critical for ... -
Talimogene Laherparepvec and Pembrolizumab in Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (MASTERKEY-232): A Multicenter, Phase 1b Study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-10-01)PURPOSE: The prognosis for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) is poor, and only a minority of patients benefit from checkpoint immunotherapy. Talimogene laherparepvec ... -
Targeting Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) Family Proteins in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC).
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-07-01)Purpose: Persistent androgen receptor (AR) signaling drives castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and confers resistance to AR-targeting therapies. Novel therapeutic strategies to overcome this are urgently required. ... -
Targeting EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in non-small cell lung cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-03-08)Inframe insertions of three or more base pairs in exon 20 of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene were among the first EGFR mutations to be identified as oncogenic drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ... -
Targeting HOX/PBX dimers in cancer.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-05-09)The HOX and PBX gene families encode transcription factors that have key roles in establishing the identity of cells and tissues in early development. Over the last 20 years it has become apparent that they are also ... -
Targeting of Ras-mediated FGF signaling suppresses Pten-deficient skin tumor.
