Pharmacological chromatin remodeling enhances response to estrogen therapy in ER+ breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Estrogen therapy elicits clinical benefit in ~ 30% of patients with endocrine‐resistant estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive breast cancer. Based on findings that ER transcriptional activation underlies response to estrogen therapy, we tested the effects of epigenetic dysregulation via pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACi).

Assessing signal loss, accuracy, and acceptability of an ambulatory fetal electrocardiography with cardiotocography in the antepartum and intrapartum phases

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is integral to antepartum and intrapartum care to detect fetal compromise, reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality. Conventional wired cardiotocography (CTG) limits mobility, birthing positions,

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Intrapartum CTG characteristics associated with isolated single umbilical artery in term fetuses: A matched case–control study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Isolated single umbilical artery (iSUA) is associated with a fivefold increased risk for perinatal mortality, even though placental blood flow is not reduced compared to healthy fetuses. In recent work, the umbilical cord was shown to have a

Fetal heart rate monitoring practices at a public hospital in Northern Uganda – what health workers document, do and say

Global Health Action, 2020
Background: In Uganda, perinatal mortality is 38 per 1000 pregnancies. One-third of these deaths are due to birth asphyxia. Adequate fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring during labor may detect birth asphyxia but little is known about monitoring practices ...

Mathematical tools for identifying the fetal response to physical exercise during pregnancy [PDF]

, 2008
In the applied mathematics literature there exist a significant number of tools that can reveal the interaction between mother and fetus during rest and also during and after exercise.

Evaluation of a novel assay for detection of the fetal marker RASSF1A: facilitating improved diagnostic reliability of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundAnalysis of cell free fetal (cff) DNA in maternal plasma is used routinely for non invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of fetal sex determination, fetal rhesus D status and some single gene disorders.

Partial FAK suppression promotes tumor growth, an effect reversed by macrophage p110δ PI3K inactivation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Partial inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) can paradoxically promote tumor growth, rather than simply producing a weaker antitumor effect than that observed with strong FAK suppression. In breast cancer and melanoma models, targeting p110δ PI3K, particularly in macrophages, counteracted these tumor‐promoting effects, highlighting the importance ...

Bridging the gap: a genetically validated avian chorioallantoic membrane platform for investigation of spontaneous circulating tumor cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...

Sensors for Fetal Hypoxia and Metabolic Acidosis: A Review

Sensors, 2018
This article reviews existing clinical practices and sensor research undertaken to monitor fetal well-being during labour. Current clinical practices that include fetal heart rate monitoring and fetal scalp blood sampling are shown to be either ...
