An integrated genomic analysis of lung cancer reveals loss of DUSP4 in EGFR-mutant tumors. [PDF]
To address the biological heterogeneity of lung cancer, we studied 199 lung adenocarcinomas by integrating genome-wide data on copy number alterations and gene expression with full annotation for major known somatic mutations in this cancer.

Downregulating Notch counteracts KrasG12D-induced ERK activation and oxidative phosphorylation in myeloproliferative neoplasm. [PDF]
The Notch signaling pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of human cancers, including hematopoietic malignancies. Its functions are highly dependent on the specific cellular context. Gain-of-function NOTCH1 mutations are prevalent in

METTL13 methylation of eEF1A increases translational output to promote tumorigenesis [PDF]
Increased protein synthesis plays an etiologic role in diverse cancers. Here, we demonstrate that METTL13 (methyltransferase-like 13) dimethylation of eEF1A (eukaryotic elongation factor 1A) lysine 55 (eEF1AK55me2) is utilized by Ras-driven cancers to ...

Clonal and microclonal mutational heterogeneity in high hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
High hyperdiploidy (HD), the most common cytogenetic subtype of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), is largely curable but significant treatment-related morbidity warrants investigating the biology and identifying novel drug targets.

ANALYSIS OF MUTATIONS IN KRAS AND BRAF GENES IN COLORECTAL CANCER IN RUSSIAN PATIENTS
Mutations in KRAS and BRAF genes in 80 colorectal cancer (CRC) samples from Russian patients were tested using two methods: 1) allele-specific real-time PCR (as-rt PCR) and 2) wild-type blocking PCR with Sanger sequencing (WTBS).

The rationale for liquid biopsy in colorectal cancer: focus on circulating tumor cells [PDF]
Capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and/or circulating tumor DNA from blood, which represents a precious source of biological material derived from both primary and metastatic tumors, has been named a 'liquid biopsy'. While the circulating tumor DNA
