OBJECTIVE: The BXSB.Yaa mouse strain is a model of systemic lupus erythematosus that is dependent on duplication of the Toll-like receptor 7 gene. The objective of this study was to systematically describe the amplified ...
The EMS1 gene encodes an 80/85 kDa c-src substrate and localises with the CCND1 gene to chromosome 11q13. This locus is amplified in approximately 13% of human breast cancers. EMS1 gene amplification and expression were ...
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether there are early clinical features that can distinguish between patients with familial and non-familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD). OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical features of FTD c...
Few reports have compared available serum free light chain (SFLC) assays. Here, a retrospective audit of the Freelite SFLC assay compared results to electrophoresis (EP)/immunofixation (IFX) and the N Latex FLC assay.A t...
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed male cancer in industrialized societies. No molecular markers of PC progression or outcome with proven clinical utility have been described. Because the loss of normal ...
Metastasis, the leading cause of cancer death, requires tumor cell intravasation, migration through the bloodstream, arrest within capillaries, and extravasation to invade distant tissues. Few mechanistic details have be...
Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is the main growth factor controlling the development of macrophages from myeloid progenitor cells. However, CSF-1 also regulates some of the key effector functions of macrophages (e.g...
We have tested the hypothesis that changes in the levels and cellular location of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes might be associated with the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscles from the high-fat-fed r...
Translocation of the insulin-regulated glucose transporter GLUT4 to the cell surface is dependent on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway. The RabGAP (Rab GTPase-activating protein) AS160 (Akt substrate of 160 k...
BACKGROUND: The identification and characterisation of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between phenotypes in the human genome is of prime interest in epigenetics. We present a novel method, DMRcate, that fits re...
BACKGROUND: Aberrant expression of the transcription factor RUNX2 in prostate cancer has a number of important consequences including increased resistance to apoptosis, invasion and metastasis to bone. We previously demo...
Rare cancers collectively contribute a disproportionate fraction of the total burden of cancer. The oncology community is increasingly facing small numbers of patients with each cancer subtype, requiring cooperation and ...
Merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) is an intrinsically disordered antigen that is abundant on the surface of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The two allelic families of MSP2, 3D7 and FC27, differ in their cen...
OBJECTIVE: Alterations in lipids in muscle and plasma have been documented in insulin-resistant people with obesity. Whether these lipid alterations are a reflection of insulin resistance or obesity remains unclear. METH...
The CCND1 gene, encoding the cell cycle regulatory protein cyclin D1, maps to chromosome 11q13, a locus that is amplified in about 13% of breast cancers. Because several studies have indicated a relationship between 11q1...
