CardioClassifier: disease- and gene-specific computational decision support for clinical genome interpretation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-01)PURPOSE: Internationally adopted variant interpretation guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) are generic and require disease-specific refinement. Here we developed CardioClassifier ... -
SCOT: a comparison of cost-effectiveness from a large randomised phase III trial of two durations of adjuvant Oxaliplatin combination chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.
(2018-11-13)Background The Short Course Oncology Therapy (SCOT) study is an international, multicentre, non-inferiority randomised controlled trial assessing the efficacy, toxicity, and cost-effectiveness of 3 months (3 M) versus the ... -
The anticonvulsive Phenhydan® suppresses extrinsic cell death.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-09-01)Different forms of regulated cell death-like apoptosis and necroptosis contribute to the pathophysiology of clinical conditions including ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, sepsis, and multiple sclerosis. ... -
Safety of intrauterine devices in MRI.
(2018-01)Objectives The paucity of safety information on intrauterine devices (IUD) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations is clinically relevant. The aim of this study is to evaluate the MRI safety of clinically used ... -
An E2-ubiquitin thioester-driven approach to identify substrates modified with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecules.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-14)Covalent modifications of proteins with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecules are instrumental to many biological processes. However, identifying the E3 ligase responsible for these modifications remains a major bottleneck ... -
Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of 'diffuse midline gliomas, H3 K27M-mutant' discriminate two subgroups based on the type of histone H3 mutated and not supratentorial or infratentorial location.
(BMC, 2018-11-05)Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3 K27M-mutant, is a new entity in the updated WHO classification grouping together diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas and infiltrating glial neoplasms of the midline harboring the same canonical ... -
BRCT domains of the DNA damage checkpoint proteins TOPBP1/Rad4 display distinct specificities for phosphopeptide ligands.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2018-10-08)TOPBP1 and its fission yeast homologueRad4, are critical players in a range of DNA replication, repair and damage signalling processes. They are composed of multiple BRCT domains, some of which bind phosphorylated motifs ... -
Inter- and intra-tumoural heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
(WILEY, 2019-05-01)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are orchestrators of the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) microenvironment. Stromal heterogeneity may explain differential pathophysiological roles of the stroma (pro- versus ... -
Assessment of intratumor immune-microenvironment in colorectal cancers with extranodal extension of nodal metastases.
(BMC, 2018-09-06)BACKGROUND: No data is available on the molecular background of the extra-nodal extension (ENE) of lymph node metastasis (LN) in colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: A series of 22 ENE-positive CRCs was considered and three ... -
The Citrobacter rodentium type III secretion system effector EspO affects mucosal damage repair and antimicrobial responses.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-10-01)Infection with Citrobacter rodentium triggers robust tissue damage repair responses, manifested by secretion of IL-22, in the absence of which mice succumbed to the infection. Of the main hallmarks of C. rodentium infection ... -
Disruption of the Interaction of RAS with PI 3-Kinase Induces Regression of EGFR-Mutant-Driven Lung Cancer.
(2018-12)RAS family GTPases contribute directly to the regulation of type I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) via RAS-binding domains in the PI3K catalytic p110 subunits. Disruption of this domain of p110α impairs RAS-mutant-onc ... -
Bromodomain protein 4 discriminates tissue-specific super-enhancers containing disease-specific susceptibility loci in prostate and breast cancer.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-03-31)BACKGROUND: Epigenetic information can be used to identify clinically relevant genomic variants single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of functional importance in cancer development. Super-enhancers are cell-specific DNA ... -
Radiotherapy to the primary tumour for newly diagnosed, metastatic prostate cancer (STAMPEDE): a randomised controlled phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-12-01)BACKGROUND: Based on previous findings, we hypothesised that radiotherapy to the prostate would improve overall survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer, and that the benefit would be greatest in patients with a low ... -
Comparison of prostate delineation on multimodality imaging for MR-guided radiotherapy.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-03-01)OBJECTIVE:: With increasing incorporation of MRI in radiotherapy, we investigate two MRI sequences for prostate delineation in radiographer-led image guidance. METHODS:: Five therapeutic radiographers contoured the prostate ... -
'Relationship between thermal dose and cell death for "rapid" ablative and "slow" hyperthermic heating'.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-01-01)AIM: Thermal isoeffective dose (TID) has not been convincingly validated for application to predict biological effects from rapid thermal ablation (e.g., using >55 °C). This study compares the classical method of quantifying ... -
Trans-abdominal in vivo placental vessel occlusion using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-09-11)Pre-clinically, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has been shown to safely and effectively occlude placental blood vessels in the acute setting, when applied through the uterus. However, further development of the ... -
