Collagen (XI) alpha-1 chain (COL11A1) is an independent prognostic factor in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (2019)
Journal Article
Toss, M. S., Miligy, I. M., Gorringe, K. L., Aleskandarany, M. A., Alkawaz, A., Mittal, K., …Rakha, E. A. (2019). Collagen (XI) alpha-1 chain (COL11A1) is an independent prognostic factor in breast ductal carcinoma in situ. Modern Pathology,

Collagen11A1 (COL11A1) is a fibrillary type collagen constituting a minor component of the extracellular matrix and plays role in tissue tensile strength. Overexpression of COL11A1 expression is associated with aggressive behavior and poor outcome in...

Background Genomic services are increasingly accessible to young adults starting their independent lives with responsibility for their self-care, yet their attitudes to sharing genomic information remain under-researched. This study explored attitud... Read More about Young adults' attitudes to sharing whole-genome sequencing information: a university-based survey.

Phenformin, But Not Metformin, Delays Development of T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma via Cell-Autonomous AMPK Activation (2019)
Journal Article
Vara-Ciruelos, D., Dandapani, M., Russell, F. M., Grzes, K. M., Atrih, A., Foretz, M., …Hardie, D. G. (2019). Phenformin, But Not Metformin, Delays Development of T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma via Cell-Autonomous AMPK Activation. Cell Reports, 27(3), 690-698.e4. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2019.03.067

AMPK acts downstream of the tumor suppressor LKB1, yet its role in cancer has been controversial. AMPK is activated by biguanides, such as metformin and phenformin, and metformin use in diabetics has been associated with reduced cancer risk. However...

Impaired forward model updating in young adults with Tourette syndrome (2018)
Journal Article

Current theories of motor control emphasise how the brain may use internal models of the body to ensure accurate planning and control of movements. One such internal model - a forward model - is thought to generate an estimate of the next motor state... Read More about Impaired forward model updating in young adults with Tourette syndrome.
