Roles of Epigenetic Dysregulation in Cancer Progression and Metastasis

Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia

Nearly all the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence or genome, and yet they show different phenotypes and carry out different functions. This diversity is made possible by a verity of molecular modifications acting on the DNA sequence that coll ...

Anti-angiogenic immunotherapy for lung cancer

Ece Kadioglu

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the most common therapeutic approach in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly for tumors that carry non-druggable activating mutation ...

Synaptic proximity enables NMDAR signalling to promote brain metastasis

Graham Knott, Douglas Hanahan, Brian Donal McCabe, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Inti Zlobec, Iacovos Michael, Qiqun Zeng, Wei Jiao, Giovanni Ciriello, Peng Zhang

Metastasis-the disseminated growth of tumours in distant organs-underlies cancer mortality. Breast-to-brain metastasis (B2BM) is a common and disruptive form of cancer and is prevalent in the aggressive basal-like subtype, but is also found at varying freq ...

The role of Snail in non-small cell lung cancer

Svenja Johanna Groeneveld

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program frequently reactivated in cancer. It plays an important role in several aspects of tumor progression, particularly in the acquisition of invasive capacities facilitating metastasis. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Acidic tumor microenvironment abrogates the efficacy of mTORC1 inhibitors

Anne Planche, Tania Santoro

Background: Blocking the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex-1 (mTORC1) with chemical inhibitors such as rapamycin has shown limited clinical efficacy in cancer. The tumor microenvironment is characterized by an acidic pH which interferes with cancer t ...

Engineering opportunities in cancer immunotherapy

Melody Swartz, Laura Jeanbart

Immunotherapy has great potential to treat cancer and prevent future relapse by activating the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells. A variety of strategies are continuing to evolve in the laboratory and in the clinic, including therapeutic non ...
