The secreted protease Adamts18 links hormone action to activation of the mammary stem cell niche.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-26)Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important ... -
Estimating brain volume loss after radiation therapy in children treated for posterior fossa tumors (Corpus callosum and whole brain volume changes following radiotherapy in children).
(WROCLAW MEDICAL UNIV, 2020-03-01)BACKGROUND: More than half of pediatric tumors of central nervous system (CNS) primarily originate in the posterior fossa and are conventionally treated with radiation therapy (RT). OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study ... -
Systemic oncolytic adenovirus delivered in mesenchymal carrier cells modulate tumor infiltrating immune cells and tumor microenvironment in mice with neuroblastoma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2020-01-28)Celyvir (autologous mesenchymal cells -MSCs- that carry an oncolytic adenovirus) is a new therapeutic strategy for metastatic tumors developed by our research group over the last decade. There are limitations for studying ... -
PDBe-KB: a community-driven resource for structural and functional annotations.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-01-08)The Protein Data Bank in Europe-Knowledge Base (PDBe-KB, https://pdbe-kb.org) is a community-driven, collaborative resource for literature-derived, manually curated and computationally predicted structural and functional ... -
RIPK1-mediated immunogenic cell death promotes anti-tumour immunity against soft-tissue sarcoma.
(WILEY, 2020-06-08)Drugs that mobilise the immune system against cancer are dramatically improving care for many people. Dying cancer cells play an active role in inducing anti-tumour immunity but not every form of death can elicit an immune ... -
Alanine dosimetry in strong magnetic fields: use as a transfer standard in MRI-guided radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-06-03)Reference dosimetry in the presence of a strong magnetic field is challenging. Ionisation chambers have shown to be strongly affected by magnetic fields. There is a need for robust and stable detectors in MRI-guided ... -
BRD4 facilitates replication stress-induced DNA damage response.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-12)Previous reports have demonstrated that select cancers depend on BRD4 to regulate oncogenic gene transcriptional programs. Here we describe a novel role for BRD4 in DNA damage response (DDR). BRD4 associates with and ... -
Distinct roles of BRCA2 in replication fork protection in response to hydroxyurea and DNA interstrand cross-links.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2020-06-01)DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are a form of DNA damage that requires the interplay of a number of repair proteins including those of the Fanconi anemia (FA) and the homologous recombination (HR) pathways. Pathogenic ... -
Targeting the Src Pathway Enhances the Efficacy of Selective FGFR Inhibitors in Urothelial Cancers with FGFR3 Alterations.
(MDPI, 2020-05-01)Selective FGFR inhibitors such as infigratinib (BGJ398) and erdafitinib (JNJ-42756493) have been evaluated in clinical trials for cancers with FGFR3 molecular alterations, particularly in urothelial carcinoma patients. ... -
Combined Associations of a Polygenic Risk Score and Classical Risk Factors With Breast Cancer Risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-03-01)We evaluated the joint associations between a new 313-variant PRS (PRS313) and questionnaire-based breast cancer risk factors for women of European ancestry, using 72 284 cases and 80 354 controls from the Breast Cancer ... -
Genomic landscape of platinum resistant and sensitive testicular cancers.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-04)While most testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) exhibit exquisite sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy, ~10% are platinum resistant. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we undertake whole exome sequencing and ... -
A Genome-scale CRISPR Screen Identifies the ERBB and mTOR Signaling Networks as Key Determinants of Response to PI3K Inhibition in Pancreatic Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-07-01)KRAS mutation is a key driver of pancreatic cancer and PI3K pathway activity is an additional requirement for Kras-induced tumorigenesis. Clinical trials of PI3K pathway inhibitors in pancreatic cancer have shown limited ... -
The NMDA receptor regulates competition of epithelial cells in the Drosophila wing.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-06)Cell competition is an emerging principle that eliminates suboptimal or potentially dangerous cells. For 'unfit' cells to be detected, their competitive status needs to be compared to the collective fitness of cells within ... -
Protein-altering germline mutations implicate novel genes related to lung cancer development.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-05-11)Few germline mutations are known to affect lung cancer risk. We performed analyses of rare variants from 39,146 individuals of European ancestry and investigated gene expression levels in 7,773 samples. We find a large-effect ... -
Clinical Guidance for the Management of Patients with Urothelial Cancers During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Rapid Review.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2020-06-01)The current COVID-19 pandemic presents a substantial obstacle to cancer patient care. Data from China as well as risk models suppose that cancer patients, particularly those on active, immunosuppressive therapies are at ... -
Cyclin B1-Cdk1 facilitates MAD1 release from the nuclear pore to ensure a robust spindle checkpoint.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2020-06-01)How the cell rapidly and completely reorganizes its architecture when it divides is a problem that has fascinated researchers for almost 150 yr. We now know that the core regulatory machinery is highly conserved in eukaryotes, ... -
Genetic manipulation of LKB1 elicits lethal metastatic prostate cancer.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2020-06-01)Gene dosage is a key defining factor to understand cancer pathogenesis and progression, which requires the development of experimental models that aid better deconstruction of the disease. Here, we model an aggressive form ... -
Transplantation of discarded livers following viability testing with normothermic machine perfusion.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-06-16)There is a limited access to liver transplantation, however, many organs are discarded based on subjective assessment only. Here we report the VITTAL clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT02740608) outcomes, using ... -
