Molecular dynamics and optimization studies of horse prion protein wild type and its S167D mutant [PDF]
Prion diseases or called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are fatal neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the accumulation of an abnormal prion protein isoform (rich in beta-sheets - about 30% alpha-helix and 43% beta-sheet), which is converted from the normal prion protein (predominant in alpha-helix - about 42% alpha-helix and 3% beta ...

Minimal residual disease in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer
Targeted therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is an effective treatment for EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), however most patients invariably relapse after a period of minimal residual ...

Studies of FLT3 mutations in paired presentation and relapse samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia: implications for the role of FLT3 mutations in leukemogenesis, minimal residual disease detection, and possible therapy with FLT3 inhibitors [PDF]
FLT3 mutations, either internal tandem duplications (ITDs) or aspartate residue 835 (D835) point mutations, are present in approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have been associated with an increased relapse rate.

Cellular residual disease (CRD) in early breast cancer –Expanding the concept of minimal residual disease monitoring? [PDF]
Despite a significant evolution in treatment strategies for early breast cancer (EBC) patients, up to 30% of them experience recurrence due to occult micrometastasis.

Minimal Residual Disease [PDF]
The aim of minimal residual disease (MRD) studies in patients with acute leukemia is to measure initial treatment response accurately, provide an assessment of the residual leukemic burden throughout therapy and detect relapse early. Therefore, information resulting from MRD monitoring can substantially improve many facets of clinical management ...

Re: Molecular testing to deliver personalised chemotherapy recommendations
Background There is an increasing focus over time on the discovery and validation of biomarkers in cancer medicine, which can inform the identification of patients that are most likely to benefit from treatment, which therapy is most likely to be ...

Minimal residual disease prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Minimal residual disease prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation has been associated with increased risk of relapse and death in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, but detection methodologies and results vary widely.

Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is caused by a small B-cell clone producing light chains that form amyloid deposits and cause organ dysfunction. Chemotherapy aims at suppressing the production of the toxic light chain (LC) and restore organ function ...
