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 ...
RAS oncogenic activity predicts response to chemotherapy and outcome in lung adenocarcinoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-26)
Activating mutations in KRAS occur in 32% of lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD). Despite leading to aggressive disease and resistance to therapy in preclinical studies, the KRAS mutation does not predict patient outcome or response ...
Bleeding complications in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(WILEY, 2021-06-12)
Hemorrhage in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may be attributed to chemotherapy and local tumor irradiation. Evidence of the relationship between hemorrhage in R/M HNSCC and ...
Bidirectional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk provides self-sustaining profibrotic signals in pulmonary fibrosis.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-09-01)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the prototypic progressive fibrotic lung disease with a median survival of 2 to 4 years. Injury to and/or dysfunction of the alveolar epithelium is strongly implicated in IPF disease ...
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 ...
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 ...
OX40 and 4-1BB delineate distinct immune profiles in sarcoma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2022-12-31)
Systemic relapse after radiotherapy and surgery is the major cause of disease-related mortality in sarcoma patients. Combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy is under investigation as a means to improve response rates. ...
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 ...
Predicting progression-free survival after systemic therapy in advanced head and neck cancer: Bayesian regression and model development.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2022-12-23)
BACKGROUND: Advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a poor prognosis, and biomarkers that predict response to treatment are highly desirable. The primary aim was to predict progression-free ...
Durvalumab with or without tremelimumab versus the EXTREME regimen as first-line treatment for recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: KESTREL, a randomized, open-label, phase III study.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) have a poor prognosis. The phase III KESTREL study evaluated the efficacy of durvalumab [programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) ...
