Vault RNAs: hidden gems in RNA and protein regulation.
(SPRINGER BASEL AG, 2020-10-15)Non-coding RNAs are important regulators of differentiation during embryogenesis as well as key players in the fine-tuning of transcription and furthermore, they control the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs under ... -
Immunomodulatory activity of IR700-labelled affibody targeting HER2.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-20)There is an urgent need to develop therapeutic approaches that can increase the response rate to immuno-oncology agents. Photoimmunotherapy has recently been shown to generate anti-tumour immunological responses by releasing ... -
Sirolimus for patients with progressive epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
(WILEY, 2020-10-27)Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an ultrarare soft tissue sarcoma with limited literature to guide treatment. The results from a robust retrospective cohort study support the use of sirolimus for patients who have ... -
Hypoxia and its therapeutic possibilities in paediatric cancers.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-02-02)In tumours, hypoxia-a condition in which the demand for oxygen is higher than its availability-is well known to be associated with reduced sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and with immunosuppression. The ... -
Timing of radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy (RADICALS-RT): a randomised, controlled phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-10-31)BACKGROUND: The optimal timing of radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is uncertain. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of adjuvant radiotherapy versus an observation policy with salvage ... -
Optimal Clinical Management and the Molecular Biology of Angiosarcomas.
(MDPI, 2020-11-10)Angiosarcomas comprise less than 3% of all soft tissue sarcomas but have a poor prognosis. Most angiosarcomas occur without obvious risk factors but secondary angiosarcoma could arise after radiotherapy or chronic lymphedema. ... -
Exposure-Response and Population Pharmacokinetic Analyses of a Novel Subcutaneous Formulation of Daratumumab Administered to Multiple Myeloma Patients.
(WILEY, 2020-11-03)We report the population pharmacokinetic (PK) and exposure-response analyses of a novel subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab (DARA) using data from 3 DARA subcutaneous monotherapy studies (PAVO Part 2, MMY1008, COLUMBA) ... -
CHD7 and 53BP1 regulate distinct pathways for the re-ligation of DNA double-strand breaks.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-11-13)Chromatin structure is dynamically reorganized at multiple levels in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Yet, how the different steps of chromatin reorganization are coordinated in space and time to differentially ... -
Mesothelin-targeted CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021-04-03)Introduction: Mesothelin (MSLN) is a tumor differentiation antigen normally restricted to the body's mesothelial surfaces, but significantly overexpressed in a broad range of solid tumors. For this reason, MSLN has emerged ... -
HOX genes promote cell proliferation and are potential therapeutic targets in adrenocortical tumours.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-02-16)BACKGROUND: Understanding the pathways that drive adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is essential to the development of more effective therapies. This study investigates the role of the transcription factor HOXB9 and other HOX ... -
WDHD1 is essential for the survival of PTEN-inactive triple-negative breast cancer.
(2020-11-21)Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive type of breast cancer that lacks the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, making it difficult to target ... -
Abiraterone in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer: principal results of the phase II Cancer of the Ovary Abiraterone (CORAL) trial (CRUK - A16037).
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-12-01)BACKGROUND: Recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains difficult to treat, with an urgent need for more therapy options. Androgens bind to the androgen receptor (AR), commonly expressed in EOC. CYP17 inhibitor ... -
Cross-Cancer Genome-Wide Association Study of Endometrial Cancer and Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Identifies Genetic Risk Regions Associated with Risk of Both Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-01-01)BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence suggests a relationship between endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. Independent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer have identified 16 and ... -
Dual-view oblique plane microscopy (dOPM).
(OPTICAL SOC AMER, 2020-12-01)We present a new folded dual-view oblique plane microscopy (OPM) technique termed dOPM that enables two orthogonal views of the sample to be obtained by translating a pair of tilted mirrors in refocussing space. Using a ... -
18F-meta-fluorobenzylguanidine (18F-mFBG) to monitor changes in norepinephrine transporter expression in response to therapeutic intervention in neuroblastoma models.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-12-01)Targeted radiotherapy with 131I-mIBG, a substrate of the human norepinephrine transporter (NET-1), shows promising responses in heavily pre-treated neuroblastoma (NB) patients. Combinatorial approaches that enhance 131I-mIBG ... -
Copy number evolution and its relationship with patient outcome-an analysis of 178 matched presentation-relapse tumor pairs from the Myeloma XI trial.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-12-01)Structural chromosomal changes including copy number aberrations (CNAs) are a major feature of multiple myeloma (MM), however their evolution in context of modern biological therapy is not well characterized. To investigate ... -
Autologous stem cell transplantation is safe and effective for fit older myeloma patients: exploratory results from the Myeloma XI trial.
