Approximately 90% of cancer-related deaths can be attributed to a tumour's ability to spread. We have identified CG7379, the fly orthologue of human ING1, as a potent invasion suppressor. ING1 is a type II tumour suppressor with well-established role... Read More about CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity.

Intestinal function and transit associate with gut microbiota dysbiosis in cystic fibrosis (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Marsh, R., Gavillet, H., Hanson, L., Ng, C., Mitchell-Whyte, M., Major, G., Smyth, A. R., Rivett, D., & van der Gast, C. Intestinal function and transit associate with gut microbiota dysbiosis in cystic fibrosis

Background Most people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms and are at risk of gut complications. Gut microbiota dysbiosis is apparent within the CF population across all age groups, with evidence linking dysbiosis to int...

Rationally designed drug delivery systems for the local treatment of resected glioblastoma (2021)
Journal Article
Bastiancich, C., Malfanti, A., Préat, V., & Rahman, R. (2021). Rationally designed drug delivery systems for the local treatment of resected glioblastoma. Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 177, Article 113951. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addr.2021.113951

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a particularly aggressive brain cancer associated with high recurrence and poor prognosis. The standard of care, surgical resection followed by concomitant radio- and chemotherapy, leads to low survival rates. The local delivery...
