Open AccesscfDNA methylome profiling for detection and subty** of small cell lung cancers
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by morphologic, epigenetic and transcriptomic heterogeneity. Subtypes based upon predominant transcription factor expression have been defined that, in mouse mode...

Open AccessSoluble guanylate cyclase signalling mediates etoposide resistance in progressing small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a 5-year survival rate of <7%. Rapid emergence of acquired resistance to standard platinum-etoposide chemotherapy is common and improved therapies are required for this recalc...

A biobank of small cell lung cancer CDX models elucidates inter- and intratumoral phenotypic heterogeneity
Although small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is treated as a homogeneous disease, biopsies and preclinical models reveal heterogeneity in transcriptomes and morphology. SCLC subtypes were recently defined by neuroen...

Open AccessSignaling pathway screening platforms are an efficient approach to identify therapeutic targets in cancers that lack known driver mutations: a case report for a cancer of unknown primary origin
Precision medicine aims to tailor cancer therapies to target specific tumor-promoting aberrations. For tumors that lack actionable drivers, which occurs frequently in the clinic, extensive molecular characteri...

Open AccessA novel method for quantification of gemcitabine and its metabolites 2′,2′-difluorodeoxyuridine and gemcitabine triphosphate in tumour tissue by LC–MS/MS: comparison with 19F NMR spectroscopy
To develop a sensitive analytical method to quantify gemcitabine (2′,2′-difluorodeoxycytidine, dFdC) and its metabolites 2′,2′-difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU) and 2′,2′-difluorodeoxycytidine-5′-triphosphate (dFdCT...

Maximizing mouse cancer models
The laboratory mouse (Mus musculus) is one of the best model systems for investigations of cancer biology in vivo, ranging from basic models such as xenograft ...

Tight Junction Proteins and Cancer
The tight junction (TJ) has been the subject of intense investigations since its discovery in the early 1960s. It has long been recognized as a key determinant of the epithelial cell barrier function, but only...

Discs-Large and Strabismus are functionally linked to plasma membrane formation
During early embryogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster, extensive vesicle transport occurs to build cell boundaries for 6,000 nuclei. Here we show that this important process depends on a functional complex formed...

Selective PDZ protein-dependent stimulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase by the adenovirus E4-ORF1 oncoprotein
While PDZ domain-containing proteins represent cellular targets for several different viral oncoproteins, including human papillomavirus E6, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 Tax, and human adenovirus E4-ORF1...
