Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism (2021)
Journal Article
Alfardus, H., de los Angeles Estevez Cebrero, M., Rowlinson, J., Lourdusamy, A., Abdelrazig, S., Ortori, C., …Smith, S. (2021). Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 15908. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-95289-9

While specific microRNA (miRNA) signatures have been identified in glioblastoma (GBM), the intratumour heterogeneity in miRNA expression has not yet been characterised. In this study, we reveal significant alterations in miRNA expression across three... Read More about Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism.

Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumour with a median survival of 14.6 months from diagnosis. Despite maximal surgical resection and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, reoccurrence is inevitable. To try combating the disease at a stage of low residual tu...

Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential (2020)
Journal Article

Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential. Neuro-Oncology Advances, 2(1), Article vdaa087. https://doi.org/10.1093/noajnl/vdaa087

Background
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with rapid subclonal diversification, harboring molecular abnormalities that vary temporo-spatially, a contributor to therapy resistance. Fluorescence guided neurosurgical resection ut... Read More about Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential.

Thioredoxin system protein expression is associated with poor clinical outcome in adult and paediatric gliomas and medulloblastomas (2020)
Journal Article

The thioredoxin (Trx) system is an important enzyme family that regulates cellular redox homeostasis. Protein expression of Trx system family members has been assessed in various cancers and linked to various clinicopathological variables, disease pr...

MicroRNA regulation of glycolytic metabolism in glioblastoma multiforme (2017)
Journal Article
Alfardus, H., McIntyre, A., & Smith, S. J. (2017). MicroRNA regulation of glycolytic metabolism in glioblastoma multiforme. BioMed Research International, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/9157370

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and common malignant brain and central nervous system tumour. A well-known hallmark of GMB, and many other tumours, is aerobic glycolysis. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-protein coding...
