Inclusion of KI67 significantly improves performance of the PREDICT prognostication and prediction model for early breast cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Background PREDICT (http://www.predict.nhs.uk) is a prognostication and treatment benefit tool for early breast cancer (EBC). The aim of this study was to incorporate the prognostic effect of KI67 status in a new version (v3), and compare performa...

Clinicopathological significance of ATM-Chk2 expression in sporadic breast cancers: a comprehensive analysis in large cohorts (2014)
Journal Article

ATM-Chk2 network is critical for genomic stability, and its deregulation may influence breast cancer pathogenesis. We investigated ATM and Chk2 protein levels in two cohorts [cohort 1 (n = 1650) and cohort 2 (n = 252)]. ATM and Chk2 mRNA expression w...

Spicing up endogenous neural stem cells: aromatic-turmerone offers new possibilities for tackling neurodegeneration (2014)
Journal Article

There is a growing interest in the therapeutic utility of compounds derived from Curcuma longa, an herb of the Zingiberaceae family that has been part of traditional medicine for centuries. Recent reports suggest that bioactive compounds isolated fro... Read More about Spicing up endogenous neural stem cells: aromatic-turmerone offers new possibilities for tackling neurodegeneration.

Serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) inhibition as a potential novel targeted therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2014)
Journal Article

Angiogenesis is required for tumour growth and is induced principally by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). VEGF-A pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced at the terminal exon to produce two families of isoforms, pro- and anti-angiogenic, only... Read More about Serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) inhibition as a potential novel targeted therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer.

A comparative assessment of the curative potential of reduced intensity allografts in acute myeloid leukaemia (2014)
Journal Article

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) provides the best mechanism of preventing relapse in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). However non-relapse mortality (NRM) negates this benefit in older patients. Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) permits SC...

Untangling the ATR-CHEK1 network for prognostication, prediction and therapeutic target validation in breast cancer (2014)
Journal Article

ATR?CHEK1 signalling is critical for genomic stability. ATR?CHEK1 signalling may be deregulated in breast cancer and have prognostic, predictive and therapeutic significance. We investigated ATR, CHEK1 and phosphorylated CHEK1 Ser345 protein (pCHEK1)... Read More about Untangling the ATR-CHEK1 network for prognostication, prediction and therapeutic target validation in breast cancer.

Involvement of metformin and AMPK in the radioresponse and prognosis of luminal versus basal-like breast cancer treated with radiotherapy (2014)
Journal Article

Metformin is under evaluation as a potential anticancer agent. Expression of total and phospho(Thr172)-adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase-α (AMPKα and pAMPKα(Thr172) respectively), a main metformin target, was examined in radiotherapy treated b...

Hes3 is expressed in the adult pancreatic islet and regulates gene expression, cell growth, and insulin release (2014)
Journal Article

The transcription factor Hes3 is a component of a signaling pathway that supports the growth of neural stem cells with profound consequences in neurodegenerative disease models. Here we explored whether Hes3 also regulates pancreatic islet cells. We...

Heparan sulfate inhibits hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell migration and engraftment in mucopolysaccharidosis I. (2014)
Journal Article

Mucopolysaccharidosis I Hurler (MPSI-H) is a pediatric lysosomal storage disease caused by genetic deficiencies in IDUA, coding for ?-l-iduronidase. Idua?/? mice share similar clinical pathology with patients, including the accumulation of the undegr...

Novel cell lines isolated from mouse embryonic stem cells exhibiting de novo methylation of the E-cadherin promoter. (2014)
Journal Article

Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and epiblast stem cells represent the naïve and primed pluripotent states, respectively. These cells self‐renew via distinct signaling pathways and can transition between the two states in the presence of appropriat...

Impact of pre-transplant co-morbidities on outcome after alemtuzumab-based reduced intensity conditioning allo-SCT in elderly patients: A British Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation study (2014)
Journal Article

The advent of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens has permitted the extension of allo-SCT to selected patients into their eighth decade but GVHD remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Alemtuzumab is increasingly used to reduce th...
