The emerging potential of magnetic resonance imaging in personalizing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer: an oncologist's perspective.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2017-01-01)Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a challenging tumour site for radiotherapy delivery owing to its complex anatomy and proximity to organs at risk (OARs) such as the spinal cord and optic apparatus. Despite significant advances ... -
The EN-TEx resource of multi-tissue personal epigenomes & variant-impact models.
(CELL PRESS, 2023-03-30)Understanding how genetic variants impact molecular phenotypes is a key goal of functional genomics, currently hindered by reliance on a single haploid reference genome. Here, we present the EN-TEx resource of 1,635 ... -
The Human DNA glycosylases NEIL1 and NEIL3 Excise Psoralen-Induced DNA-DNA Cross-Links in a Four-Stranded DNA Structure
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-12-01)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are highly cytotoxic DNA lesions that block DNA replication and transcription by preventing strand separation. Previously, we demonstrated that the ... -
The immunological consequences of radiation-induced DNA damage.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)Historically, our understanding of the cytotoxicity of radiation has centred on tumour cell-autonomous mechanisms of cell death. Here, tumour cell death occurs when a threshold number of radiation-induced non-reparable ... -
The impact of restricted length of treatment field and anthropometric factors on selection of head and neck cancer patients for treatment on the MR-Linac.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2020-07-01)OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the impact of a restricted craniocaudal (CC) field length of <20 cm on the selection of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who can be treated on the MR-Linac using a single isocentre ... -
The mechanism of replication stalling and recovery within repetitive DNA.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-07-19)Accurate chromosomal DNA replication is essential to maintain genomic stability. Genetic evidence suggests that certain repetitive sequences impair replication, yet the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. Replication ... -
The melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment does not adequately discriminate prognosis in a modern population with brain metastases from malignant melanoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-11-03)BACKGROUND: The melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment (msGPA) assigns patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma to 1 of 4 prognostic groups. It was largely derived using clinical data from patients ... -
The midbody interactome reveals unexpected roles for PP1 phosphatases in cytokinesis.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-10-04)The midbody is an organelle assembled at the intercellular bridge between the two daughter cells at the end of mitosis. It controls the final separation of the daughter cells and has been involved in cell fate, polarity, ... -
The MRI-Linear Accelerator Consortium: Evidence-Based Clinical Introduction of an Innovation in Radiation Oncology Connecting Researchers, Methodology, Data Collection, Quality Assurance, and Technical Development.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2016-10-13)An international research consortium has been formed to facilitate evidence-based introduction of MR-guided radiotherapy (MR-linac) and to address how the MR-linac could be used to achieve an optimized radiation treatment ... -
The PERK Inhibitor GSK2606414 Enhances Reovirus Infection in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via an ATF4-Dependent Mechanism.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-03-27)Reovirus type 3 Dearing (reovirus) is a tumor-selective oncolytic virus currently under evaluation in clinical trials. Here, we report that the therapeutic efficacy of reovirus in head and neck squamous cell cancer can be ... -
The Predictive Value of Early Assessment After 1 Cycle of Induction Chemotherapy with 18F-FDG PET/CT and Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Response to Radical Chemoradiotherapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2016-12-01)UNLABELLED: The objective of this study was to assess the predictive value of early assessment (after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy [IC]) with 18F-FDG PET/CT and diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI for subsequent response to ... -
The role of spread through air spaces (STAS) in lung adenocarcinoma prognosis and therapeutic decision making.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-08-01)Spread through air spaces (STAS) was included as a novel pattern of invasion in lung adenocarcinoma by the World Health Organization in 2015. Since then, multiple studies have investigated the association of STAS with ... -
The role of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex in the response to DNA double strand breaks.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-09-01)Mammalian cells possess multiple closely related SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes. These complexes have been implicated in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Evidence suggests that SWI/SNF ... -
The spectrum of cardiovascular complications related to immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment : Including myocarditis and the new entity of non inflammatory left ventricular dysfunction.
(BMC, 2022-11-24)BACKGROUND: The full range of cardiovascular complications related to the use of Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is not fully understood. We aim to describe the spectrum of cardiovascular adverse events (cvAEs) by ... -
