Repression of Transcription at DNA Breaks Requires Cohesin throughout Interphase and Prevents Genome Instability.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-01-17)Cohesin subunits are frequently mutated in cancer, but how they function as tumor suppressors is unknown. Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion, but this is not always perturbed in cancer cells. Here, we identify a ... -
Reprogramming of fatty acid metabolism in cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-01-07)A common feature of cancer cells is their ability to rewire their metabolism to sustain the production of ATP and macromolecules needed for cell growth, division and survival. In particular, the importance of altered fatty ... -
Requirement for PBAF in transcriptional repression and repair at DNA breaks in actively transcribed regions of chromatin.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-04)Actively transcribed regions of the genome are vulnerable to genomic instability. Recently, it was discovered that transcription is repressed in response to neighboring DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). It is not known ... -
Resolving Affinity Purified Protein Complexes by Blue Native PAGE and Protein Correlation Profiling.
(2017-04)Most proteins act in association with others; hence, it is crucial to characterize these functional units in order to fully understand biological processes. Affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry (AP-MS) has ... -
Response Criteria for Intratumoral Immunotherapy in Solid Tumors: itRECIST.

The response of the Eukaryotic replisome to DNA quadruplex structures
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-01-18)Sequences that can form DNA secondary structures, such as G-quadruplexes (G4s) and intercalated-Motifs (iMs), are abundant in the human genome and play a range of physiological roles. However, they can pose a challenge to ... -
Results of a multicentre randomised controlled trial of cochlear-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus conventional radiotherapy in patients with parotid cancer (COSTAR; CRUK/08/004).
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)PURPOSE: About 40-60% of patients treated with post-operative radiotherapy for parotid cancer experience ipsilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can reduce radiation dose to the ... -
Revealing mechanisms of metabolic pathways associated with cancer pain
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-06-30)Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is a hallmark of oncogenesis. Many lipid metabolites have been implicated in non-cancer pain states, but their role in cancer-related pain has yet to be firmly established. Previous work ... -
RNAi screens for Rho GTPase regulators of cell shape and YAP/TAZ localisation in triple negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-01)In order to metastasise, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) must make dynamic changes in cell shape. The shape of all eukaryotic cells is regulated by Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (RhoGEFs), which activate ... -
Robust deep learning optical autofocus system applied to automated multiwell plate single molecule localization microscopy.
(WILEY, 2021-06-04)We presenta robust, long-range optical autofocus system for microscopy utilizing machine learning. This can be useful for experiments with long image data acquisition times that may be impacted by defocusing resulting from ... -
The role of APOBEC3B in lung tumor evolution and targeted cancer therapy resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024-01-01)In this study, the impact of the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic subunit-like (APOBEC) enzyme APOBEC3B (A3B) on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven lung cancer was assessed. A3B expression in EGFR mutant ... -
ROS Dynamics Delineate Functional States of Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells and Link to Their Activity-Dependent Exit from Quiescence.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-02-04)Cellular redox states regulate the balance between stem cell maintenance and activation. Increased levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are linked to proliferation and lineage specification. In contrast ... -
Safety and Treatment Outcomes of Nivolumab for the Treatment of Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study.
(MDPI, 2021-03-19)Nivolumab is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody currently used as immunotherapy for patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with evidence of disease progression after platinum-based ... -
Science in Focus: Biological Optimisation of Radiotherapy Fraction Size in an Era of Immune Oncology.

Secretome of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) Influences Drug Sensitivity in Cancer Cells.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2024-06-07)Resistance is a major problem with effective cancer treatment and the stroma forms a significant portion of the tumor mass but traditional drug screens involve cancer cells alone. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are ... -
Sex specific retinoic acid signaling is required for the initiation of urogenital sinus bud development.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2014-11-15)The mammalian urogenital sinus (UGS) develops in a sex specific manner, giving rise to the prostate in the male and the sinus vagina in the embryonic female. Androgens, produced by the embryonic testis, have been shown to ... -
SGLT1 is required for the survival of triple-negative breast cancer cells via potentiation of EGFR activity.
(2019-09)Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), an essential active glucose transport protein that helps maintain high intracellular glucose levels, was previously shown to interact with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); ... -
SHOC2 phosphatase-dependent RAF dimerization mediates resistance to MEK inhibition in RAS-mutant cancers.
(2019-06-10)Targeted inhibition of the ERK-MAPK pathway, upregulated in a majority of human cancers, has been hindered in the clinic by drug resistance and toxicity. The MRAS-SHOC2-PP1 (SHOC2 phosphatase) complex plays a key role in ... -
