Triggering anti-GBM immune response with EGFR-mediated photoimmunotherapy.
(BMC, 2022-01-21)BACKGROUND: Surgical resection followed by chemo-radiation postpones glioblastoma (GBM) progression and extends patient survival, but these tumours eventually recur. Multimodal treatment plans combining intraoperative ... -
Tumor-Secreted LOXL2 Activates Fibroblasts through FAK Signaling
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2013-11-01)Cancer-associated fibroblasts enhance cancer progression when activated by tumor cells through mechanisms not yet fully understood. Blocking mammary tumor cell-derived lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) significantly inhibited ... -
Tumour-suppression function of KLF12 through regulation of anoikis.
(2016-06)Suppression of detachment-induced cell death, known as anoikis, is an essential step for cancer metastasis to occur. We report here that expression of KLF12, a member of the Kruppel-like family of transcription factors, ... -
Ubiquitylation of MLKL at lysine 219 positively regulates necroptosis-induced tissue injury and pathogen clearance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-07)Necroptosis is a lytic, inflammatory form of cell death that not only contributes to pathogen clearance but can also lead to disease pathogenesis. Necroptosis is triggered by RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL, which ... -
Ultrafast glutamate sensors resolve high-frequency release at Schaffer collateral synapses.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2018-05-22)Glutamatergic synapses display a rich repertoire of plasticity mechanisms on many different time scales, involving dynamic changes in the efficacy of transmitter release as well as changes in the number and function of ... -
Ultrahigh Dose-rate Radiotherapy: Next Steps for FLASH-RT.
(2019-01)A new way of delivering radiotherapy at very high dose rates is described and compared with conventional radiotherapy. The ultrahigh dose-rate therapy reduces damage to normal pig skin and exerts potent activity against ... -
Updates on radiotherapy-immunotherapy combinations: Proceedings of 6th annual ImmunoRad conference.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2023-12-31)Focal radiation therapy (RT) has attracted considerable attention as a combinatorial partner for immunotherapy (IT), largely reflecting a well-defined, predictable safety profile and at least some potential for immunostimulation. ... -
Using Deep Learning to Extrapolate Protein Expression Measurements.
(WILEY, 2020-11-01)Mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics experiments typically assay a subset of up to 60% of the ≈20 000 human protein coding genes. Computational methods for imputing the missing values using RNA expression ... -
Using inducible degradation to characterise the roles of TRIP13 and CEP57 in mitosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-05-31)DNA and centrosomes are both semi-conservatively replicated once per cell cycle and it is essential that the DNA and centrosomes are divided equally between daughter cells in mitosis. When this fails, it can lead to ... -
Utility of Multi-Parametric Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Characterization and Radiotherapy Response Assessment in Soft-Tissue Sarcomas and Correlation With Histopathology.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019-04-25)Purpose: To evaluate repeatability of quantitative multi-parametric MRI in retroperitoneal sarcomas, assess parameter changes with radiotherapy, and correlate pre-operative values with histopathological findings in the ... -
UTX-mediated enhancer and chromatin remodeling suppresses myeloid leukemogenesis through noncatalytic inverse regulation of ETS and GATA programs.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-06-01)The histone H3 Lys27-specific demethylase UTX (or KDM6A) is targeted by loss-of-function mutations in multiple cancers. Here, we demonstrate that UTX suppresses myeloid leukemogenesis through noncatalytic functions, a ... -
Vaccinia E5 is a major inhibitor of the DNA sensor cGAS.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-05-22)The DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is critical in host antiviral immunity. Vaccinia virus (VACV) is a large cytoplasmic DNA virus that belongs to the poxvirus family. How vaccinia virus antagonizes the cGAS-mediated ... -
Visualizing cellular imaging data using PhenoPlot.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-01-08)Visualization is essential for data interpretation, hypothesis formulation and communication of results. However, there is a paucity of visualization methods for image-derived data sets generated by high-content analysis ... -
Vitamin B5 supports MYC oncogenic metabolism and tumor progression in breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-11-01)Tumors are intrinsically heterogeneous and it is well established that this directs their evolution, hinders their classification and frustrates therapy1-3. Consequently, spatially resolved omics-level analyses are gaining ... -
Voltage imaging reveals the dynamic electrical signatures of human breast cancer cells.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-11)Cancer cells feature a resting membrane potential (Vm) that is depolarized compared to normal cells, and express active ionic conductances, which factor directly in their pathophysiological behavior. Despite similarities ... -
Warthin Tumor-Like Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2018-02-01)Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) shows a wide morphologic spectrum, including epithelium with oncocytic or squamous metaplastic changes overlying a prominent cystic architecture, as well as tumor-associated lymphoid tissue. ... -
WASp modulates RPA function on single-stranded DNA in response to replication stress and DNA damage.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-29)Perturbation in the replication-stress response (RSR) and DNA-damage response (DDR) causes genomic instability. Genomic instability occurs in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), a primary immunodeficiency disorder, yet the ... -
WDHD1 is essential for the survival of PTEN-inactive triple-negative breast cancer.
(2020-11-21)Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive type of breast cancer that lacks the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, making it difficult to target ... -
WDR5, BRCA1, and BARD1 Co-regulate the DNA Damage Response and Modulate the Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition during Early Reprogramming.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-04-09)Differentiated cells are epigenetically stable, but can be reprogrammed to pluripotency by expression of the OSKM transcription factors. Despite significant effort, relatively little is known about the cellular requirements ...
