Menstrual cycle associated changes in hormone-related gene expression in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-11-15)
The major changes in hormone levels that occur through the menstrual cycle have been postulated to affect the expression of hormone-regulated and proliferation-associated genes (PAGs) in premenopausal ER+ breast cancer. ...
Superpixel-Based Conditional Random Fields (SuperCRF): Incorporating Global and Local Context for Enhanced Deep Learning in Melanoma Histopathology.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019-10-11)
Computational pathology-based cell classification algorithms are revolutionizing the study of the tumor microenvironment and can provide novel predictive/prognosis biomarkers crucial for the delivery of precision oncology. ...
A Perspective on Polo-Like Kinase-1 Inhibition for the Treatment of Rhabdomyosarcomas.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019-11-22)
Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma and are a major cause of death from cancer in young patients requiring new treatment options to improve outcomes. High-risk patients include those with ...
Hypoxic Environment and Paired Hierarchical 3D and 2D Models of Pediatric H3.3-Mutated Gliomas Recreate the Patient Tumor Complexity.
(MDPI, 2019-11-26)
BACKGROUND: Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) are facing a very dismal prognosis and representative pre-clinical models are needed for new treatment strategies. Here, we examined the relevance of collecting functional, ...
Combination of mTORC1/2 inhibitor vistusertib plus fulvestrant in vitro and in vivo targets oestrogen receptor-positive endocrine-resistant breast cancer.
(BMC, 2019-12-04)
BACKGROUND: Endocrine therapies are still the main strategy for the treatment of oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers (BC), but resistance remains problematic. Cross-talk between ER and PI3K/AKT/mTORC has been ...
Fibroblastic Reticular Cells Control Conduit Matrix Deposition during Lymph Node Expansion.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-11-26)
Lymph nodes (LNs) act as filters, constantly sampling peripheral cues. This is facilitated by the conduit network, a tubular structure of aligned extracellular matrix (ECM) fibrils ensheathed by fibroblastic reticular cells ...
The Role of MicroRNA in Paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: Challenges for Diagnosis and Therapy.
(Hindawi Limited, 2019-10-01)
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of childhood. Although the overall survival of children with ALL is now more than 90%, leukaemia remains one of the leading causes of death from disease. In ...
Critical research gaps and recommendations to inform research prioritisation for more effective prevention and improved outcomes in colorectal cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) leads to significant morbidity/mortality worldwide. Defining critical research gaps (RG), their prioritisation and resolution, could improve patient outcomes. DESIGN: RG analysis was ...
Identifying Genetic Dependencies in Cancer by Analyzing siRNA Screens in Tumor Cell Line Panels.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-01-01)
Loss-of-function screening using RNA interference or CRISPR approaches can be used to identify genes that specific tumor cell lines depend upon for survival. By integrating the results from screens in multiple cell lines ...
Quantification of subclonal selection in cancer from bulk sequencing data.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-28)
Subclonal architectures are prevalent across cancer types. However, the temporal evolutionary dynamics that produce tumor subclones remain unknown. Here we measure clone dynamics in human cancers by using computational ...
