Gastric insufflation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A study in human cadavers

Introduction: Bag-valve-mask ventilation is the first-line ventilation method during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Risks include excessive volume delivery and gastric insufflation, the latter increasing the risk of pneumonia. The efficacy of ventila ...

Toward Microfluidic Label-Free Isolation and Enumeration of Circulating Tumor Cells from Blood Samples

Philippe Renaud, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Camille Alice Raillon, Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles

The isolation, analysis, and enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patient blood samples are a paradigm shift for cancer patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring. Most methods used to isolate and enumerate these target cel ...

A new class of protein biomarkers based on subcellular distribution: application to a mouse liver cancer model

Kristina Schoonjans, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Evan Graehl Williams, Pan Xu, Amir Banaei Esfahani, Chen Li, Ruedi Aebersold

To-date, most proteomic studies aimed at discovering tissue-based cancer biomarkers have compared the quantity of selected proteins between case and control groups. However, proteins generally function in association with other proteins to form modules loc ...

Screening-based approach to discover effective platinum-based chemotherapies for cancers with poor prognosis

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

Drug combinations are extensively used to treat cancer and are often selected according to complementary mechanisms. Here, we describe a cell-based high-throughput screening assay for identification of synergistic combinations between broadly applied plati ...

Type I interferon/IRF7 axis instigates chemotherapy-induced immunological dormancy in breast cancer

Mauro Delorenzi, Yu-Ting Huang

Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapies provide survival benefits to breast cancer patients, in particular in estrogen receptor negative (ER-) cancers, by reducing rates of recurrences. It is assumed that the benefits of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy are due ...

Role of Activin-A signaling in melanoma

Olivier Andreas Dubey

Cutaneous melanomas arise from transformed skin melanocytes. While accounting for only 1% of skin malignancies, melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths. Owing to lifestyle changes and increased exposure to sunlight, melanoma ...

The mechanism of tumour cell death by metal-based anticancer drugs is not only a matter of DNA interactions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gianni Sava

Platinum drugs are extensively used in the clinic to treat cancer, often leading to a palliative response rather than a cure. While DNA is considered to be the primary target of platinum drugs, there is no clear relationship between cellular platinum accum ...

Studying cancer cells phenotypes integrating omics data in human reduced genome-scale metabolic models.

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon, Vikash Kumar Pandey

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms underlying this disease are still not completely understood. In the last decades, altered tumour metabolism has been recognized as a hallmark of cancer. This has created a resurgence of in ...
