Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a disease with a very poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Although targeted therapies directed towards specific mutations found in CCA are becoming available and are showing great potential, many tumors do not ca...

Aims: The biomarkers oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are routinely measured in patients with breast cancer with international consensus on how they should be interpreted. There i... Read More about Concordance between core needle biopsy and surgical excision specimens for Ki-67 in breast cancer–a systematic review of the literature.

A Reinterpretation of Evidence for the Endothelial Glycocalyx Filtration Structure (2021)
Journal Article
Arkill, K. P. (2021). A Reinterpretation of Evidence for the Endothelial Glycocalyx Filtration Structure. Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 9, Article 734661. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2021.734661

The endothelial glycocalyx is thought to be the primary macromolecular filter for fluid flux out of the vasculature. This filter maintains the higher protein concentration within the vessel lumen relative to the tissue. Whilst the arguments for the e...

Low-Power Sonication Can Alter Extracellular Vesicle Size and Properties (2021)
Journal Article
Nizamudeen, Z. A., Xerri, R., Parmenter, C., Suain, K., Markus, R., Chakrabarti, L., & Sottile, V. (2021). Low-Power Sonication Can Alter Extracellular Vesicle Size and Properties. Cells, 10(9), Article 2413. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells10092413

Low-power sonication is widely used to disaggregate extracellular vesicles (EVs) after isolation, however, the effects of sonication on EV samples beyond dispersion are unclear. The present study analysed the characteristics of EVs collected from mes... Read More about Low-Power Sonication Can Alter Extracellular Vesicle Size and Properties.

Purpose
The outcome of the luminal oestrogen receptor-positive (ER +) subtype of breast cancer (BC) is highly variable and patient stratification needs to be refined. We assessed the prognostic significance of oestrogen-regulated solute carrier fami... Read More about Oestrogen-regulated protein SLC39A6: a biomarker of good prognosis in luminal breast cancer.
