Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA profiling in patients with advanced endometrial cancer using an off‐the‐shelf targeted NGS panel

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumour heterogeneity complicates precision management of advanced endometrial cancer. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a minimally invasive strategy to capture tumor evolution and therapeutic resistance. Here, we compare tumor‐agnostic NGS with tumor‐informed ddPCR, outlining their relative sensitivity, concordance, and clinical implications ...

Botulinum neurotoxin: Tracking the transition from lethal dose to in vitro models

NAM Journal
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), commonly referred to as 'Botox', is widely used in medical and aesthetic applications across the globe. As a biological product, BoNT requires rigorous batch potency testing to ensure safety, and is currently reliant on the ...

Interaction of HS1BP3 with cortactin modulates TKS5 localisation, cell secretion and cancer malignancy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Here, we demonstrate that HS1BP3 interacts with Cortactin through a proline‐rich region (PRR3.1) and show that this interaction, and HS1BP3 itself, promote cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Inhibition of this interaction leads to build‐up of TKS5 in multivesicular endosomes and altered secretion of CD63 and CD9, providing an explanation for the ...

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.

[Legal aspects of alternative methods to animal testing].

Biologie aujourd'hui, 2023
Si le remplacement total de l’expérimentation animale était l’objectif visé par la directive européenne du 22 septembre 2010 relative à la protection des animaux utilisés à des fins scientifiques, force est de constater qu’il est encore loin d’être atteint. Le nombre d’animaux ne diminue pas et les méthodes alternatives peinent à être utilisées.

Monocyte activation test (MAT) as an ethical alternative to animal testing

BMB Reports
Ethical considerations surrounding the utilization of animals in scientific research have prompted a widespread search for alternative methodologies. This review explores the historical context and ethical dilemmas associated with traditional animal testing methods, before introducing the Monocyte Activation Test (MAT) as a promising alternative, and ...

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

NSU Biomaterials Safety Testing Alternatives To Animal Experimentation [PDF]

, 2007
Every year in the United States, millions of animals including monkey\u27s, rats, mice, rabbits, cats, and dogs suffer experimentation to test the biocompatibility of products before they are used on humans.
