Gastrointestinal Toxicity Prediction Not Influenced by Rectal Contour or Dose-Volume Histogram Definition.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-12-01)
PURPOSE: Rectal dose delivered during prostate radiation therapy is associated with gastrointestinal toxicity. Treatment plans are commonly optimized using rectal dose-volume constraints, often whole-rectum relative-volumes ...
PBAF loss leads to DNA damage-induced inflammatory signaling through defective G2/M checkpoint maintenance.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2022-07-28)
The PBRM1 subunit of the PBAF (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex is mutated in ∼40% of clear cell renal cancers. PBRM1 loss has been implicated in responses to immunotherapy in renal cancer, but the mechanism is unclear. ...
An Immunogenic Model of KRAS-Mutant Lung Cancer Enables Evaluation of Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy Combinations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-10-04)
UNLABELLED: Mutations in oncogenes such as KRAS and EGFR cause a high proportion of lung cancers. Drugs targeting these proteins cause tumor regression but ultimately fail to elicit cures. As a result, there is an intense ...
Facts and Hopes on RAS Inhibitors and Cancer Immunotherapy.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-12-15)
Although the past decade has seen great strides in the development of immunotherapies that reactivate the immune system against tumors, there have also been major advances in the discovery of drugs blocking oncogenic drivers ...
Characterisation of a cyclic peptide that binds to the RAS binding domain of phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110 alpha
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-02-02)
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>P110α is a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzyme family that functions downstream of RAS. RAS proteins contribute to the activation of p110α by interacting directly ...
Homogeneous 2D and 3D alignment of cardiomyocyte in dilated cardiomyopathy revealed by intravital heart imaging.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-07-19)
In contrast to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there has been reported no specific pattern of cardiomyocyte array in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), partially because lack of alignment assessment in a three-dimensional (3D) ...
Lung adenocarcinoma promotion by air pollutants.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-04-06)
A complete understanding of how exposure to environmental substances promotes cancer formation is lacking. More than 70 years ago, tumorigenesis was proposed to occur in a two-step process: an initiating step that induces ...
On-treatment immune prognostic score for patients with relapsed and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with immunotherapy.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that inflammatory markers (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and fibrinogen) are prognostic biomarkers in patients with a variety of solid cancers, ...
Oncolytic virotherapy induced CSDE1 neo-antigenesis restricts VSV replication but can be targeted by immunotherapy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-26)
In our clinical trials of oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus expressing interferon beta (VSV-IFNβ), several patients achieved initial responses followed by aggressive relapse. We show here that VSV-IFNβ-escape tumors ...
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 ...
