LINE‐1 Retroelement Activation and Neuroinflammation in Persons With Fanconi Anemia
ABSTRACT We describe the first immunohistochemical analysis performed on brain lesion biopsies from two young individuals with Fanconi anemia neuroinflammatory syndrome (FANS). We identified aberrant activation of the LINE‐1 retrotransposon as a novel mechanism of neuroinflammation in individuals with hematological disorders.

Engineering Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells for Racing in Solid Tumors: Don't Forget the Fuel. [PDF]
T-cells play a critical role in tumor immunity. Indeed, the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes is a predictor of favorable patient prognosis for many indications and is a requirement for responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade therapy ...

Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

The Merkel Cell Polyomavirus T-Antigens and IL-33/ST2-IL1RAcP Axis: Possible Role in Merkel Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a causal factor in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The oncogenic potential is mediated through its viral oncoproteins large T-antigen (LT) and small T-antigen (sT). Cytokines produced by tumor cells play an important role

Biology of BMP signalling and cancer [PDF]
[Abstract] In recent years, it has been proposed that tumours are not homogeneous but composed of several cellular types like normal tissues. A cellular subtype, which is though to be the origin of tumours as well as their malignant properties (i.e ...

Comparative analyses of tumorigenic mechanisms of Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigens [PDF]
The work described in this dissertation began in 2013 and is focused on characterizing the mechanisms by which Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) Large T (LT) and small T (sT) antigens induce tumorigenesis through comparative analyses with oncoproteins from ...

Targeting matriptase in breast cancer abrogates tumour progression via impairment of stromal-epithelial growth factor signalling. [PDF]
Matriptase is an epithelia-specific membrane-anchored serine protease that has received considerable attention in recent years because of its consistent dysregulation in human epithelial tumours, including breast cancer.

Embryonal subregion-derived stromal cell lines from novel temperature-sensitive SV40 T antigen transgenic mice support hematopoiesis [PDF]
Throughout life, the hematopoietic system requires a supportive microenvironment that allows for the maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC).
