Structure of a nucleosome-bound MuvB transcription factor complex reveals DNA remodelling.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-29)Genes encoding the core cell cycle machinery are transcriptionally regulated by the MuvB family of protein complexes in a cell cycle-specific manner. Complexes of MuvB with the transcription factors B-MYB and FOXM1 activate ... -
Investigation of the effects of hydrogen peroxide in combination with ionising radiation in cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-10-18)Introduction In the early 2000s, Japanese colleagues reported sensitisation of normal and tumour cell lines to cytotoxic doses of ionising radiation (IR) by low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), research that ... -
Clinical disease course and survival outcomes following disease recurrence in adenoid cystic carcinoma with and without NOTCH signaling pathway activation.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-10-01)BACKGROUND: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare salivary cancer. The highest rates of disease recurrence are in patients with NOTCH pathway activation, reported in up to 20%. Novel drugs targeting NOTCH signaling are ... -
ARHGEF9 regulates melanoma morphogenesis in environments with diverse geometry and elasticity by promoting filopodial-driven adhesion.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-08-19)Rho GTP Exchange Factors (RhoGEFs) and Rho GTPase Activating Proteins (RhoGAPs) are large families of molecules that regulate shape determination in all eukaryotes. In pathologies such as melanoma, RhoGEF and RhoGAP activity ... -
An International Comparison of Presentation, Outcomes and CORONET Predictive Score Performance in Patients with Cancer Presenting with COVID-19 across Different Pandemic Waves.
(MDPI, 2022-08-16)Patients with cancer have been shown to have increased risk of COVID-19 severity. We previously built and validated the COVID-19 Risk in Oncology Evaluation Tool (CORONET) to predict the likely severity of COVID-19 in ... -
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 ... -
SimPLIT: Simplified Sample Preparation for Large-Scale Isobaric Tagging Proteomics.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2022-08-05)Large scale proteomic profiling of cell lines can reveal molecular signatures attributed to variable genotypes or induced perturbations, enabling proteogenomic associations and elucidation of pharmacological mechanisms of ... -
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 ... -
Therapeutic KRASG12C inhibition drives effective interferon-mediated antitumor immunity in immunogenic lung cancers.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2022-07-22)Recently developed KRASG12C inhibitory drugs are beneficial to lung cancer patients harboring KRASG12C mutations, but drug resistance frequently develops. Because of the immunosuppressive nature of the signaling network ... -
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 ... -
Proteomic characterisation of triple negative breast cancer cells following CDK4/6 inhibition.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-07-11)When used in combination with hormone treatment, Palbociclib prolongs progression-free survival of patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Mechanistically, Palbociclib inhibits CDK4/6 activity but the basis ... -
Dietary omega 6/3 fats and aspirin govern PI3Ka-induced oncogenicity
Oncogenic mutations in PI3KCA, the gene encoding the p110a catalytic subunit of PI3K, represent one of the most frequent genetic alterations in human cancer. Although multiple inhibitors of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway have ... -
The Potency of a KRAS Silent Variant.

WASp modulates RPA function on single-stranded DNA in response to replication stress and DNA damage.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-29)Perturbation in the replication-stress response (RSR) and DNA-damage response (DDR) causes genomic instability. Genomic instability occurs in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), a primary immunodeficiency disorder, yet the ... -
Quantitative Proteomic Analysis in Alveolar Type II Cells Reveals the Different Capacities of RAS and TGF-β to Induce Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-03-19)Alveolar type II (ATII) epithelial cells function as stem cells, contributing to alveolar renewal, repair and cancer. Therefore, they are a highly relevant model for studying a number of lung diseases, including acute ... -
GENCODE 2021.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-08)The GENCODE project annotates human and mouse genes and transcripts supported by experimental data with high accuracy, providing a foundational resource that supports genome biology and clinical genomics. GENCODE annotation ... -
Kickstarting Immunity in Cold Tumours: Localised Tumour Therapy Combinations With Immune Checkpoint Blockade.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-10-18)Cancer patients with low or absent pre-existing anti-tumour immunity ("cold" tumours) respond poorly to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI). In order to render these patients susceptible to ICPI, initiation ... -
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) ... -
