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 ...
SHOC2 phosphatase-dependent RAF dimerization mediates resistance to MEK inhibition in RAS-mutant cancers.
(2019-06-10)
Targeted inhibition of the ERK-MAPK pathway, upregulated in a majority of human cancers, has been hindered in the clinic by drug resistance and toxicity. The MRAS-SHOC2-PP1 (SHOC2 phosphatase) complex plays a key role in ...
Development of combination therapies to maximize the impact of KRAS-G12C inhibitors in lung cancer.
(2019-09)
KRAS represents an excellent therapeutic target in lung cancer, the most commonly mutated form of which can now be blocked using KRAS-G12C mutant-specific inhibitory trial drugs. Lung adenocarcinoma cells harboring KRAS ...
Pembrolizumab given concomitantly with chemoradiation and as maintenance therapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: KEYNOTE-412.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2020-06-03)
Current treatment guidelines for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) recommend multimodal treatment, including chemoradiation therapy (CRT) or surgery followed by radiation, with ...
Mutations in FAM50A suggest that Armfield XLID syndrome is a spliceosomopathy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-07-23)
Intellectual disability (ID) is a heterogeneous clinical entity and includes an excess of males who harbor variants on the X-chromosome (XLID). We report rare FAM50A missense variants in the original Armfield XLID syndrome ...
Origin licensing requires ATP binding and hydrolysis by the MCM replicative helicase.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-04)
Loading of the six related Minichromosome Maintenance (MCM) proteins as head-to-head double hexamers during DNA replication origin licensing is crucial for ensuring once-per-cell-cycle DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. ...

Autophagy inhibition specifically promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion in RAS-mutated cancer cells.
(2019-05)
Macroautophagy/autophagy inhibition is a novel anticancer therapeutic strategy, especially for tumors driven by mutant RAS. Here, we demonstrate that autophagy inhibition in RAS-mutated cells induces epithelial-mesenchymal ...
