Conditional control of fluorescent protein degradation by an auxin-dependent nanobody.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-17)The conditional and reversible depletion of proteins by auxin-mediated degradation is a powerful tool to investigate protein functions in cells and whole organisms. However, its wider applications require fusing the ... -
Constitutive regulation of mitochondrial morphology by Aurora A kinase depends on a predicted cryptic targeting sequence at the N-terminus.
(ROYAL SOC, 2018-06-13)Aurora A kinase (AURKA) is a major regulator of mitosis and an important driver of cancer progression. The roles of AURKA outside of mitosis, and how these might contribute to cancer progression, are not well understood. ... -
Contrast enhancement of carotid adventitial vasa vasorum as a biomarker of radiation-induced atherosclerosis.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-07-01)PURPOSE: Abnormal proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum (vv) occurs early at sites of atherosclerosis and is thought to be an early biomarker of vascular damage. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect this ... -
Cost-effectiveness analysis of nivolumab for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in the United States.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020-05-03)Aim: To assess the cost-effectiveness of nivolumab monotherapy for recurrent/metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in the US.Methods: We constructed a cohort-based partitioned survival model ... -
COSTAR trial results: 3-D Conformal Radiotherapy vs Cochlea-Sparing IMRT in parotid cancer patients

COVID-19 in cancer patients: update from the joint analysis of the ESMO-CoCARE, BSMO, and PSMO international databases.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-05-04)BACKGROUND: COVID-19 has significantly affected patients with cancer and revealed unanticipated challenges in securing optimal cancer care across different disciplines. The European Society for Medical Oncology COVID-19 ... -
COVID-19 in patients with cancer: first report of the ESMO international, registry-based, cohort study (ESMO-CoCARE).
(ELSEVIER, 2022-05-08)BACKGROUND: ESMO COVID-19 and CAncer REgistry (ESMO-CoCARE) is an international collaborative registry-based, cohort study gathering real-world data from Europe, Asia/Oceania and Africa on the natural history, management ... -
CRISPR activation screen in mice identifies novel membrane proteins enhancing pulmonary metastatic colonisation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-23)Melanoma represents ~5% of all cutaneous malignancies, yet accounts for the majority of skin cancer deaths due to its propensity to metastasise. To develop new therapies, novel target molecules must to be identified and ... -
Current challenges for assessing the long-term clinical benefit of cancer immunotherapy: a multi-stakeholder perspective.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-01)Immuno-oncologics (IOs) differ from chemotherapies as they prime the patient's immune system to attack the tumor, rather than directly destroying cancer cells. The IO mechanism of action leads to durable responses and ... -
Cutaneous head and neck melanoma in OPTiM, a randomized phase 3 trial of talimogene laherparepvec versus granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor for the treatment of unresected stage IIIB/IIIC/IV melanoma.
(WILEY, 2016-12-01)BACKGROUND: Cutaneous head and neck melanoma has poor outcomes and limited treatment options. In OPTiM, a phase 3 study in patients with unresectable stage IIIB/IIIC/IV melanoma, intralesional administration of the oncolytic ... -
Cyclin A triggers Mitosis either via the Greatwall kinase pathway or Cyclin B.
(WILEY, 2020-06-02)Two mitotic cyclin types, cyclin A and B, exist in higher eukaryotes, but their specialised functions in mitosis are incompletely understood. Using degron tags for rapid inducible protein removal, we analyse how acute ... -
Cyclin B1 is essential for mitosis in mouse embryos, and its nuclear export sets the time for mitosis.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2018-01-02)There is remarkable redundancy between the Cyclin-Cdk complexes that comprise the cell cycle machinery. None of the mammalian A-, D-, or E-type cyclins are required in development until implantation, and only Cdk1 is ... -
Cyclin B1-Cdk1 facilitates MAD1 release from the nuclear pore to ensure a robust spindle checkpoint.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2020-06-01)How the cell rapidly and completely reorganizes its architecture when it divides is a problem that has fascinated researchers for almost 150 yr. We now know that the core regulatory machinery is highly conserved in eukaryotes, ... -
Cytosine base modifications regulate DNA duplex stability and metabolism.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-12-16)DNA base modifications diversify the genome and are essential players in development. Yet, their influence on DNA physical properties and the ensuing effects on genome metabolism are poorly understood. Here, we focus on ... -
Dabrafenib and Trametinib Therapy for Advanced Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer - Real-World Outcomes From UK Centres.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-11-12)AIMS: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare but aggressive form of thyroid cancer with a median survival of 4 months. Recent advances in molecular profiling have shown that up to half of ATCs harbour the BRAF-V600E ... -
DARS: a phase III randomised multicentre study of dysphagia- optimised intensity- modulated radiotherapy (Do-IMRT) versus standard intensity- modulated radiotherapy (S-IMRT) in head and neck cancer.
(BMC, 2016-10-06)BACKGROUND: Persistent dysphagia following primary chemoradiation (CRT) for head and neck cancers can have a devastating impact on patients' quality of life. Single arm studies have shown that the dosimetric sparing of ... -
De novo mutations implicate novel genes in systemic lupus erythematosus.
(2018-02)The omnigenic model of complex disease stipulates that the majority of the heritability will be explained by the effects of common variation on genes in the periphery of core disease pathways. Rare variant associations, ... -
Decreased function of survival motor neuron protein impairs endocytic pathways.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2016-07-26)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by depletion of the ubiquitously expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, with 1 in 40 Caucasians being heterozygous for a disease allele. SMN is critical for the assembly of ... -
