Landscape of the Plasmodium Interactome Reveals Both Conserved and Species-Specific Functionality.
(2019-08)Malaria represents a major global health issue, and the identification of new intervention targets remains an urgent priority. This search is hampered by more than one-third of the genes of malaria-causing Plasmodium ... -
Laryngeal cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary guidelines.
(2016-05)This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. Significantly new data have been published on laryngeal cancer management since the ... -
Loss of INPP4B causes a DNA repair defect through loss of BRCA1, ATM and ATR and can be targeted with PARP inhibitor treatment.
(2015-04)Treatment options for ovarian cancer patients remain limited and overall survival is less than 50% despite recent clinical advances. The lipid phosphatase inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) has been ... -
Magnetic Resonance-based Response Assessment and Dose Adaptation in Human Papilloma Virus Positive Tumors of the Oropharynx treated with Radiotherapy (MR-ADAPTOR): An R-IDEAL stage 2a-2b/Bayesian phase II trial.
(2018-11)Background Current standard radiotherapy for oropharynx cancer (OPC) is associated with high rates of severe toxicities, shown to adversely impact patients' quality of life. Given excellent outcomes of human papilloma virus ... -
Mechanical and Systems Biology of Cancer.
(2018-01)Mechanics and biochemical signaling are both often deregulated in cancer, leading toincreased cell invasiveness, proliferation, and survival. The dynamics and interactions of cytoskeletal components control basic mechanical ... -
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 ... -
Metabolic adaptability in metastatic breast cancer by AKR1B10-dependent balancing of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation.
(2019-06-20)The different stages of the metastatic cascade present distinct metabolic challenges to tumour cells and an altered tumour metabolism associated with successful metastatic colonisation provides a therapeutic vulnerability ... -
Metabolic Fingerprinting Links Oncogenic PIK3CA with Enhanced Arachidonic Acid-Derived Eicosanoids.
(2020-06-18)Oncogenic transformation is associated with profound changes in cellular metabolism, but whether tracking these can improve disease stratification or influence therapy decision-making is largely unknown. Using the iKnife ... -
Metabolic phenotyping using the iKnife identifies IRS2 as a driver of lipid metabolism reprogramming in colorectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-11-22)The advent of precision medicine is changing the clinicians' approach to therapeutic decisions. It also implies that the identification of biomarkers and discriminating factors is necessary for more effective treatment ... -
Metastatic Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma in Bone Marrow.
(2017-12)Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is an aggressive neoplasm thought to be related to low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, which typically occurs in middle-aged adults in the deep soft tissues of the lower extremities and ... -
Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas in Adolescents and Young Adults: A Specialist Center Experience.
(2020-05-05)Purpose: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) account for 8% of all cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Metastatic STS contribute significantly to disease-related mortality in this age group; however, data are limited ... -
Methodology for the development of National Multidisciplinary Management Recommendations using a multi-stage meta-consensus initiative.
(BMC, 2022-07-11)BACKGROUND: Methods for developing national recommendations vary widely. The successful adoption of new guidance into routine practice is dependent on buy-in from the clinicians delivering day-to-day patient care and must ... -
Methodology for tissue sample collection within a translational sub-study of the CHHiP trial (CRUK/06/016), a large randomised phase III trial in localised prostate cancer.
(2018-03)Background This article presents the methodology for tissue sample collection in Trans-CHHiP, the main translational study within the CHHiP (Conventional or Hypofractionated High dose intensity modulated radiotherapy in ... -
Microenvironmental Heterogeneity Parallels Breast Cancer Progression: A Histology-Genomic Integration Analysis.
(2016-02-16)Background The intra-tumor diversity of cancer cells is under intense investigation; however, little is known about the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment that is key to cancer progression and evolution. We aimed ... -
MRI-based Assessment of 3D Intrafractional Motion of Head and Neck Cancer for Radiation Therapy.
(2018-02)Purpose To determine the 3-dimensional (3D) intrafractional motion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).Methods and materials Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images from 56 patients with HNSCC in ... -
Multiparametric Analysis of Cell Shape Demonstrates that β-PIX Directly Couples YAP Activation to Extracellular Matrix Adhesion.
(2017-01-05)Mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cellular geometry regulate the nuclear translocation of transcriptional regulators such as Yes-associated protein (YAP). Elucidating how physical signals control ... -
Multiple short windows of calcium-dependent protein kinase 4 activity coordinate distinct cell cycle events during <i>Plasmodium</i> gametogenesis.
(2017-05-08)Malaria transmission relies on the production of gametes following ingestion by a mosquito. Here, we show that Ca 2+ -dependent protein kinase 4 controls three processes essential to progress from a single haploid ...
