Genome Profiling of SARS-CoV-2 in Indonesia, ASEAN and the Neighbouring East Asian Countries: Features, Challenges and Achievements (2022)
Journal Article

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has played a significant role in understanding the epidemiology and biology of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Here, we investigate the use of SARS-CoV-2 WGS in Southeast and East Asian countries as a genomic surveillance during the C...

Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource? (2021)
Journal Article

During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries with robust population-based asymptomatic testing were generally successful in controlling virus spread, hence reducing hospitalizations and deaths. This effectiveness inspired widespread asymptomatic surveilla... Read More about Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource?.

Ran GTPase is an independent prognostic marker in malignant melanoma which promotes tumour cell migration and invasion (2020)
Journal Article

Aims Ran GTPase is involved in nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of proteins and is overexpressed in several cancers. The expression of Ran in malignant melanoma (MM) and its functional activity have not been described and were investigated in this study.... Read More about Ran GTPase is an independent prognostic marker in malignant melanoma which promotes tumour cell migration and invasion.

Immuno-Interface Score to Predict Outcome in Colorectal Cancer Independent of Microsatellite Instability Status (2020)
Journal Article

Tumor-associated immune cells have been shown to predict patient outcome in colorectal (CRC) and other cancers. Spatial digital image analysis-based cell quantification increases the informative power delivered by tumor microenvironment features and...

Tensin4 (TNS4) is upregulated by Wnt signalling in adenomas in multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) mice (2020)
Journal Article

ApcMin/+ mice are regarded as a standard animal model of colorectal cancer (CRC). Tensin4 (TNS4 or Cten) is a putative oncogene conferring features of stemness and promoting motility. Our objective was to assess TNS4 expression in intestinal adenomas... Read More about Tensin4 (TNS4) is upregulated by Wnt signalling in adenomas in multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) mice.

Investigating TNS4 in the Colorectal Tumor Microenvironment Using 3D Spheroid Models of Invasion (2020)
Journal Article

TNS4 (Tensin 4 or Cten) is a putative oncogene in colorectal cancer (CRC) with a role in regulating cell adhesion, motility, invasion, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). The objective is to study the role of TNS4 in CRC using more realis... Read More about Investigating TNS4 in the Colorectal Tumor Microenvironment Using 3D Spheroid Models of Invasion.

Dual Adaptive Pyramid Network for Cross-Stain Histopathology Image Segmentation (2019)
Book Chapter

Supervised semantic segmentation normally assumes the test data being in a similar data domain as the training data. However, in practice, the domain mismatch between the training and unseen data could lead to a significant performance drop. Obtainin...

Cten promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in colorectal cancer through stabilisation of Src (2019)
Journal Article

Cten is an oncogene promoting EMT in many signaling pathways, namely through Snail. We investigated whether Cten function could be mediated through Src. Cten levels were modulated by forced expression in HCT116 and gene knockdown in SW620 CRC (colore...

TGF?1-induced cell motility but not cell proliferation is mediated through Cten in colorectal cancer (2018)
Journal Article

Cten (C-terminal tensin-like) is a member of the tensin protein family found in complex with integrins at focal adhesions. It promotes epithelial?mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell motility. The precise mechanisms regulating Cten are unknown, alth... Read More about TGF?1-induced cell motility but not cell proliferation is mediated through Cten in colorectal cancer.

FLYWCH1, a novel suppressor of nuclear b-catenin, regulates migration and morphology in colorectal cancer (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 American Association for Cancer Research. Wnt/b-catenin signaling plays a critical role during development of both normal and malignant colorectal cancer tissues. Phosphorylation of b-catenin protein alters its trafficking and function. Such c...

CD10 inhibits cell motility but expression is associated with advanced stage disease in colorectal cancer (2018)
Journal Article

Introduction CD10 is a cell membrane-bound endopeptidase which is expressed in normal small bowel but not in normal colon. It is aberrantly expressed in a small proportion of colorectal cancers (CRC) and this has been associated with liver metastasi... Read More about CD10 inhibits cell motility but expression is associated with advanced stage disease in colorectal cancer.

N_LyST: a simple and rapid screening test for Lynch Syndrome (2018)
Journal Article

Aims: We sought to use PCR followed by high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis to develop a single closed-tube screening panel to screen for Lynch Syndrome. This comprises tests for microsatellite instability (MSI), MLH1 methylation promoter and BRAF... Read More about N_LyST: a simple and rapid screening test for Lynch Syndrome.

Cten promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition through post-transcriptional stabilization of Snail (2017)
Journal Article

Cten promotes cell migration however the knowledge of underlying signalling pathways is sparse. We have shown that Cten downregulates E-cadherin, a feature of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). This prompted us to investigate whether Cten fu...

A refined method to study gene dosage changes in-vitro using CRISPR/Cas9 (2017)
Journal Article

Aims: Gene dosage can have a major impact on cell biology although, hitherto, is has been difficult to study using in-vitro models. We sought to refine and accelerate the development of “gene dosage” models through using CRISPR/Cas9 (a gene-editing t...
