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.

The Differential Expression of ERAP1/ERAP2 and Immune Cell Activation in Pre-eclampsia (2020)
Journal Article
Stratikos, E., Warthan, M., Strauss, J. F., Kurlak, L. O., Seamon, K., Lee, E. D., & Mistry, H. D. (2020). The Differential Expression of ERAP1/ERAP2 and Immune Cell Activation in Pre-eclampsia. Frontiers in Immunology, 11, Article 396. https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2020.00396

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder of pregnancy, often leading to serious and fatal complications. Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 and 2 (ERAP1/ERAP2) are present in the placenta. They are involved in processes regulating blood pressure, angioge... Read More about The Differential Expression of ERAP1/ERAP2 and Immune Cell Activation in Pre-eclampsia.

A role for ABCB1 in prognosis, invasion and drug resistance in ependymoma (2019)
Journal Article
Sabnis, D. H., Storer, L. C. D., Liu, J.-F., Jackson, H. K., Kilday, J. P., Grundy, R. G., Kerr, I. D., & Coyle, B. (2019). A role for ABCB1 in prognosis, invasion and drug resistance in ependymoma. Scientific Reports, 9(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-46700-z

© 2019, The Author(s). Three of the hallmarks of poor prognosis in paediatric ependymoma are drug resistance, local invasion and recurrence. We hypothesised that these hallmarks were due to the presence of a sub-population of cancer stem cells expres...

Androgen dependent mechanisms of pro-angiogenic networks in placental and tumor development. Placenta, 56, 79-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2017.02.018

The placenta and tumors share important characteristics, including a requirement to establish effective angiogenesis. In the case of the placenta, optimal angiogenesis is required to sustain the blood flow required to maintain a successful pregnancy,...

Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in prostate cancer. Endocrine-Related Cancer, 22(3), Article R107-R123. https://doi.org/10.1530/ERC-15-0123

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy affecting men in the western world. Although radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy can successfully treat PCa in the majority of patients, up to ∼30% will experience local recurrence or metast...
