Identifying resistance mechanisms and combination therapies in Notch-driven triple negative breast cancer

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known to be the most aggressive type of breast cancer (BC) and is primarily treated with chemotherapy. Nonetheless, new therapeutic options are urgently needed. Advances in next-generation sequencing have identified ...

DCAF1-based PROTACs with activity against clinically validated targets overcoming intrinsic- and acquired-degrader resistance

Nicolas Thomä

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) mediates protein level through small molecule induced redirection of E3 ligases to ubiquitinate neo-substrates and mark them for proteasomal degradation. TPD has recently emerged as a key modality in drug discovery. So fa ...

Genome-wide Screens Implicate Loss of Cullin Ring Ligase 3 in Persistent Proliferation and Genome Instability in TP53-Deficient Cells

Sebastian Martin Waszak, Ruxandra-Andreea Lambuta

TP53 deficiency is the most common alteration in cancer; however, this alone is typically insufficient to drive tumorigenesis. To identify genes promoting tumorigenesis in combination with TP53 deficiency, we perform genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen ...

Endogenous retroviruses drive KRAB zinc-finger protein family expression for tumor suppression

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Alexandre Coudray

Gene expression aberration is a hallmark of cancers, but the mechanisms underlying such aberrations remain unclear. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are genomic repetitive elements that potentially function as enhancers. Since numerous HERVs are epige ...

Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium

Marie Shamseddin

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...

Repositioning approved drugs for the treatment of problematic cancers using a screening approach

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Hristo Plamenov Varbanov

Advances in treatment strategies together with an earlier diagnosis have considerably increased the average survival of cancer patients over the last four decades. Nevertheless, despite the growing number of new antineoplastic agents introduced each year, ...

The emerging quest for the optimal angiostatic combination therapy

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Andrea Brett Gasser

Angiostatic therapies are now routinely embedded in the daily clinical management of cancer. Although these agents clearly benefit patient survival rates, the effect is only moderate with sometimes considerable side effects. A major cause of failure in thi ...

Functional genomics lead to new therapies in follicular lymphoma

Elisa Oricchio

Recent technological advances allow analysis of genomic changes in cancer in unprecedented detail. The next challenge is to prioritize the multitude of genetic aberrations found and identify therapeutic opportunities. We recently completed a study that ill ...

Comparison of Two Cameras based on Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) for Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Application with Picosecond Resolution

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Samuel Burri, Francesco Regazzoni, François Eric Powolny

We report on a comparative study of two time-resolved cameras based on digital Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) for Fluorescen ce Lifetime Imaging applications. In contrast to standard imagers such as cameras, SPAD imagers provide intensity as well a ...

Activation of a glioma-specific immune response by oncolytic parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice infection

Ute Koch

Rodent autonomous parvoviruses (PVs) are endowed with oncotropic properties and represent virotherapeutics with inherent oncolytic features. This work aimed to evaluate the capacity of Minute Virus of Mice (MVMp) to act as an adjuvant stimulating a mouse g ...

Synthesis of C-linked Disaccharides and Analogues as Biomimetics of the TF Epitope

Maria Kolympadi

Glycoproteins and glycolipids are major components of the outer surface of mammalian cells. Their carbohydrate moieties, which are directed into the outer environment, serve as ligands for receptor proteins, such as lectins, pathogen proteins and antibodie ...
