Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Akt Signaling and Redox Metabolism in Cancer.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-05-15)Metabolic rewiring and the consequent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are necessary to promote tumorigenesis. At the nexus of these cellular processes is the aberrant regulation of oncogenic signaling cascades ... -
Identification and Characterization of Novel Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 2 Inhibitors Using Structural Similarity Analysis.
(AMER SOC PHARMACOLOGY EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS, 2018-05-01)Receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIP2 or RICK, herein referred to as RIPK2) is linked to the pathogen pathway that activates nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB) and autophagic activation. ... -
Rapid access clinic for unexplained lymphadenopathy and suspected malignancy: prospective analysis of 1000 patients.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-01-01)BACKGROUND: In patients presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy, it is critical to effectively identify those with underlying cancer who require urgent specialist care. METHODS: We analyzed a large dataset of 1000 ... -
Evolutionary dynamics of residual disease in human glioblastoma.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-03-01)BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive adult brain malignancy against which conventional surgery and chemoradiation provide limited benefit. Even when a good treatment response is obtained, recurrence ... -
Challenges to curing primary brain tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-01)Despite decades of research, brain tumours remain among the deadliest of all forms of cancer. The ability of these tumours to resist almost all conventional and novel treatments relates, in part, to the unique cell-intrinsic ... -
Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma with hybrid features of hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor occurring 10 years after renal transplantation.
(2018-01)Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue neoplasm that typically arises on the distal extremities of adults. It usually behaves in a low-grade manner and its characteristic histology is of a ... -
Immunotherapy and pancreatic cancer: unique challenges and potential opportunities.
(2018-01)Despite decades of research, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) continues to have the worst 5-year survival of any malignancy. With 338,000 new cases diagnosed and over 300,000 deaths per year globally there is an ... -
The surgical intelligent knife distinguishes normal, borderline and malignant gynaecological tissues using rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS).
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)BACKGROUND: Survival from ovarian cancer (OC) is improved with surgery, but surgery can be complex and tumour identification, especially for borderline ovarian tumours (BOT), is challenging. The Rapid Evaporative Ionisation ... -
Phase 2 study evaluating intermittent and continuous linsitinib and weekly paclitaxel in patients with recurrent platinum resistant ovarian epithelial cancer.
(2018-05)BACKGROUND:Linsitinib, an oral, dual inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and insulin receptor, in combination with weekly paclitaxel, may improve clinical outcomes compared with paclitaxel alone in patients ... -
Mechanism of selective recruitment of RNA polymerases II and III to snRNA gene promoters.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-05-01)RNA polymerase II (Pol II) small nuclear RNA (snRNA) promoters and type 3 Pol III promoters have highly similar structures; both contain an interchangeable enhancer and "proximal sequence element" (PSE), which recruits the ... -
RavN is a member of a previously unrecognized group of Legionella pneumophila E3 ubiquitin ligases.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-02-01)The eukaryotic ubiquitylation machinery catalyzes the covalent attachment of the small protein modifier ubiquitin to cellular target proteins in order to alter their fate. Microbial pathogens exploit this post-translational ... -
