Whole-genome doubling drives oncogenic loss of chromatin segregation

Elisa Oricchio, Natalya Katanayeva, Daniele Tavernari, Ruxandra-Andreea Lambuta, Juan Diaz Miyar

Whole-genome doubling (WGD) is a recurrent event in human cancers and it promotes chromosomal instability and acquisition of aneuploidies(1-8). However, the three-dimensional organization of chromatin in WGD cells and its contribution to oncogenic phenotyp ...

Using Dynamic Features for Automatic Cervical Precancer Detection

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres, Mohammad Saeed Rad

Cervical cancer remains a major public health concern in developing countries due to financial and human resource constraints. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) of the cervix was widely promoted and routinely used as a low-cost primary screening tes ...

Nanoparticle Conjugation of Human Papillomavirus 16 E7-long Peptides Enhances Therapeutic Vaccine Efficacy against Solid Tumors in Mice

Melody Swartz, Douglas Hanahan, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Stephan Wullschleger, Gabriele Galliverti, Sylvie Hauert

Treatment of patients bearing human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers with synthetic long-peptide (SLP) therapeutic vaccines has shown promising results in clinical trials against premalignant lesions, whereas responses against later stage carcinomas ha ...

Intraductal patient-derived xenografts of estrogen receptor α-positive breast cancer recapitulate the histopathological spectrum and metastatic potential of human lesions

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia, Georgios Sflomos, Laura Battista, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Valérian Charles Robert Dormoy, Patrik Aouad

Estrogen receptor α-positive (ER-positive) or 'luminal' breast cancers were notoriously difficult to establish as patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We and others recently demonstrated that the microenvironment is critical for ER-positive tumor cells; when ...

Enhanced Rate of Acquisition of Point Mutations in Mouse Intestinal Adenomas Compared to Normal Tissue

Jörg Hülsken

The most prevalent single-nucleotide substitution (SNS) found in cancers is a C-to-T substitution in the CpG motif. It has been proposed that many of these SNSs arise during organismal aging, prior to transformation of a normal cell into a precancerous/can ...

Red blood cells ageing markers: a multi-parametric analysis

Gerardo Turcatti, Niels Erik Lion, Benjamin Rappaz, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Background. Red blood cells collected in citrate-phosphate-dextrose can be stored for up to 42 days at 4 degrees C in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol additive solution. During this controlled, but nevertheless artificial, ex vivo ageing, red blood cells ac ...

Review of the role played by the photosensitizer's photobleaching during photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the combined administration of photosensitizing drugs and light to treat a variety of malignant, pre-malignant and also non-malignant diseases. The reactive species resulting from the excitation of the photosensitizer ...

Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Giulia Manina

The interaction between the host and the pathogen is extremely complex and is affected by anatomical, physiological, and immunological diversity in the microenvironments, leading to phenotypic diversity of the pathogen. Phenotypic heterogeneity, defined as ...

Combined CSL and p53 downregulation promotes cancer-associated fibroblast activation

Melody Swartz, Cathrin Brisken, Csaba Ferenc László

Stromal fibroblast senescence has been linked to ageing-associated cancer risk. However, density and proliferation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are frequently increased. Loss or downmodulation of the Notch effector CSL (also known as RBP-Jκ) in ...

Three-dimensional chemotaxis-driven aggregation of tumor cells

Alessandro De Simone

One of the most important steps in tumor progression involves the transformation from a differentiated epithelial phenotype to an aggressive, highly motile phenotype, where tumor cells invade neighboring tissues. Invasion can occur either by isolated mesen ...

Improving tumor heterogeneity MRI assessment with histograms

Nathalie Just

By definition, tumours are heterogeneous. They are defined by marked differences in cells, microenvironmental factors (oxygenation levels, pH, VEGF, VPF and TGF-α) metabolism, vasculature, structure and function that in turn translate into heterogeneous dr ...
