Mutation-Attention (MuAt): deep representation learning of somatic mutations for tumour typing and subtyping

Sebastian Martin Waszak

Background: Cancer genome sequencing enables accurate classification of tumours and tumour subtypes. However, prediction performance is still limited using exome-only sequencing and for tumour types with low somatic mutation burden such as many paediatri ...

Mechanism of KRAS-driven T cell infiltration in colorectal cancer

Amber Dawn Bowler

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early-stage disease can be detected with preventative medical screening and is treatable with surgical resection. Sixty-percent of patients, however, are diagnosed with advanced-stage ...

Apelin-driven endothelial cell migration sustains intestinal progenitor cells and tumor growth

Michele De Palma, Mauro Delorenzi, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Nadine Fournier, Sina Nassiri

Stem and progenitor cells residing in the intestinal crypts drive the majority of colorectal cancers (CRCs), yet vascular contribution to this niche remains largely unexplored. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a key driver of physiological a ...

High-content, targeted RNA-seq screening in organoids for drug discovery in colorectal cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Maxim Norkin

Organoids allow the recapitulation of intestinal homeostasis and cancerogenesis in vitro; however, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based methods for drug screens are missing. We develop targeted organoid sequencing (TORNADO-seq), a high-throughput, high-content d ...
