Discovery of high-confidence human protein-coding genes and exons by whole-genome PhyloCSF helps elucidate 118 GWAS loci.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2019-12-01)
The most widely appreciated role of DNA is to encode protein, yet the exact portion of the human genome that is translated remains to be ascertained. We previously developed PhyloCSF, a widely used tool to identify ...
APOBEC3B-mediated corruption of the tumor cell immunopeptidome induces heteroclitic neoepitopes for cancer immunotherapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-07)
APOBEC3B, an anti-viral cytidine deaminase which induces DNA mutations, has been implicated as a mediator of cancer evolution and therapeutic resistance. Mutational plasticity also drives generation of neoepitopes, which ...
Immunological impact of cell death signaling driven by radiation on the tumor microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-01)
Therapeutic irradiation of the tumor microenvironment causes differential activation of pro-survival and pro-death pathways in malignant, stromal, endothelial and immune cells, hence causing a profound cellular and biological ...
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy targeting EGFR-Shedding new light on glioblastoma treatment.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are high-grade brain tumors, differentially driven by alterations (amplification, deletion or missense mutations) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), that carry a poor prognosis of just ...
Eros is a novel transmembrane protein that controls the phagocyte respiratory burst and is essential for innate immunity.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2017-04-03)
The phagocyte respiratory burst is crucial for innate immunity. The transfer of electrons to oxygen is mediated by a membrane-bound heterodimer, comprising gp91phox and p22phox subunits. Deficiency of either subunit leads ...
Genetically modified lentiviruses that preserve microvascular function protect against late radiation damage in normal tissues.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2018-01-24)
Improvements in cancer survival mean that long-term toxicities, which contribute to the morbidity of cancer survivorship, are being increasingly recognized. Late adverse effects (LAEs) in normal tissues after radiotherapy ...
HER3-Mediated Resistance to Hsp90 Inhibition Detected in Breast Cancer Xenografts by Affibody-Based PET Imaging.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-15)
Purpose: Recent studies have highlighted a role of HER3 in HER2-driven cancers (e.g., breast cancer), implicating the upregulation of the receptor in resistance to HER-targeted therapies and Hsp90 inhibitors (e.g., AUY922). ...
Asparagine bioavailability governs metastasis in a model of breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-02-15)
Using a functional model of breast cancer heterogeneity, we previously showed that clonal sub-populations proficient at generating circulating tumour cells were not all equally capable of forming metastases at secondary ...
Degron-tagged reporters probe membrane topology and enable the specific labelling of membrane-wrapped structures.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-02)
Visualization of specific organelles in tissues over background fluorescence can be challenging, especially when reporters localize to multiple structures. Instead of trying to identify proteins enriched in specific ...
Quantitative Cell Cycle Analysis Based on an Endogenous All-in-One Reporter for Cell Tracking and Classification.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-05-30)
Cell cycle kinetics are crucial to cell fate decisions. Although live imaging has provided extensive insights into this relationship at the single-cell level, the limited number of fluorescent markers that can be used in ...
