Using inducible degradation to characterise the roles of TRIP13 and CEP57 in mitosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-05-31)
DNA and centrosomes are both semi-conservatively replicated once per cell cycle and it is essential that the DNA and centrosomes are divided equally between daughter cells in mitosis. When this fails, it can lead to ...
Dose Reduction of Preoperative Radiotherapy in Myxoid Liposarcoma: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial.
(2021-01-21)
Importance Currently, preoperative radiotherapy for all soft-tissue sarcomas is identical at a 50-Gy dose level, which can be associated with morbidity, particularly wound complications. The observed clinical radiosensitivity ...
Gustatory function following radiotherapy to the head and neck
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)
An intact sense of taste provides pleasure, supports sustenance and alerts the body to potential toxins. Patients with head and neck (HNC) who undergo radiotherapy (RT) are at high risk of developing acute and late taste ...
A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component
(2021-01-13)
Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. ...
Inherited duplications of PPP2R3B predispose to nevi and melanoma via a C21orf91-driven proliferative phenotype.
(2021-06-18)
Purpose Much of the heredity of melanoma remains unexplained. We sought predisposing germline copy-number variants using a rare disease approach.Methods Whole-genome copy-number findings in patients with melanoma predisposition ...
IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche.
(2020-02-07)
Our understanding of the signalling pathways regulating early human development is limited, despite their fundamental biological importance. Here, we mine transcriptomics datasets to investigate signalling in the human ...
Analysis of novel therapeutic options for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-04-30)
Adenoid cystic adenocarcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands is characterised by slow growth, frequent metastasis and low survival rates. ACC is resistant to conventional chemotherapy and currently, no systemic agent has ...
Immune and muli-omic profiling for molecular classification and biomarker discovery in soft tissue sarcoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-02-29)
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of over 50 rare cancers of mesenchymal origin. Classification of STS is primarily based on histological characteristics of tumours. Novel biomarkers are required that account for the ...
Biological effects of combination therapy with oncolytic reovirus and palbociclib
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Reovirus type 3 Dearing (RtD3) is an oncolytic dsRNA virus with limited single-agent activity in clinical studies but has potential for use in combination regimens. Herein, I sought to discover synergistic drug-virotherapy ...
