SF3B1 hotspot mutations confer sensitivity to PARP inhibition by eliciting a defective replication stress response.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-08-01)SF3B1 hotspot mutations are associated with a poor prognosis in several tumor types and lead to global disruption of canonical splicing. Through synthetic lethal drug screens, we identify that SF3B1 mutant (SF3B1MUT) cells ... -
Drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier using short-pulse focused ultrasound and microbubbles for the treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-09-01)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents unwanted substances from entering the brain, but also blocks entry of therapeutic agents, posing difficulties for treating brain cancers such as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) ... -
Ultrasonic Sound Speed Estimation for Liver Fat Quantification: A Review by the AIUM-RSNA QIBA Pulse-Echo Quantitative Ultrasound Initiative.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-08-05)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a significant cause of diffuse liver disease, morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis of NALFD is critical to identify patients at risk of disease ... -
Clinical trial designs for evaluating and exploiting cancer evolution.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-07-01)The evolution of drug-resistant cell subpopulations causes cancer treatment failure. Current preclinical evidence shows that it is possible to model herding of clonal evolution and collateral sensitivity where an initial ... -
Actin nucleators safeguard replication forks by limiting nascent strand degradation.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2023-07-07)Accurate genome replication is essential for all life and a key mechanism of disease prevention, underpinned by the ability of cells to respond to replicative stress (RS) and protect replication forks. These responses rely ... -
Interpretability of radiomics models is improved when using feature group selection strategies for predicting molecular and clinical targets in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma: insights from the TRACERx Renal study.
(BMC, 2023-08-14)BACKGROUND: The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of radiomics predictions for a range of molecular, genomic and clinical targets in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and demonstrate the ... -
Preventative therapy for breast cancer: a clinical experience.
(SPRINGER, 2023-09-01)BACKGROUND: Breast Cancer incidence in the UK is estimated to rise to 71,000 per year by 2035. Preventative strategies could significantly reduce this. Preventative therapy reduces women's risk of oestrogen receptor positive ... -
Non-contrast CT synthesis using patch-based cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (Cycle-GAN) for radiomics and deep learning in the era of COVID-19.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-06-29)Handcrafted and deep learning (DL) radiomics are popular techniques used to develop computed tomography (CT) imaging-based artificial intelligence models for COVID-19 research. However, contrast heterogeneity from real-world ... -
PREDICT validity for prognosis of breast cancer patients with pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-05-12)We assessed the PREDICT v 2.2 for prognosis of breast cancer patients with pathogenic germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants, using follow-up data from 5453 BRCA1/2 carriers from the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of ... -
Cancer incidence and mortality in 23 000 patients with type 1 diabetes in the UK: Long-term follow-up.
(WILEY, 2023-08-01)Type 2 diabetes is associated with raised risk of several cancers, but for type 1 diabetes risk data are fewer and inconsistent We assembled a cohort of 23 473 UK patients with insulin-treated diabetes diagnosed at ages ... -
Vaccinia E5 is a major inhibitor of the DNA sensor cGAS.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-05-22)The DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is critical in host antiviral immunity. Vaccinia virus (VACV) is a large cytoplasmic DNA virus that belongs to the poxvirus family. How vaccinia virus antagonizes the cGAS-mediated ... -
Uridine-derived ribose fuels glucose-restricted pancreatic cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-06-01)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal disease notoriously resistant to therapy1,2. This is mediated in part by a complex tumour microenvironment3, low vascularity4, and metabolic aberrations5,6. Although altered ... -
The lung cancers: staging and response, CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, MRI, DWI: review and new perspectives.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2023-08-01)Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in both sexes combined. Recent years have seen major advances in the diagnostic and treatment options for patients with non-small-cell ... -
