Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Onasemnogene Abeparvovec in Type I Spinal Muscular Atrophy: 24‐Month Follow‐Up From the Italian Registry

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Onasemnogene abeparvovec (OA) is an AAV9‐based gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy type I (SMA I). Real‐world outcomes show increased response variability compared to clinical trials, and follow‐up data beyond 12–18 months are limited.

Mutation Rates as Adaptations

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1997
In order to better understand life, it is helpful to look beyond the envelop of life as we know it. A simple model of coevolution was implemented with the addition of a gene for the mutation rate of the individual. This allowed the mutation rate itself to evolve in a lineage. The model shows that when the individuals interact in a sort of zero-sum game,

Estimation of Spontaneous Mutation Rates

Biometrics, 2003
Summary. Spontaneous or randomly occurring mutations play a key role in cancer progression. Estimation of the mutation rate of cancer cells can provide useful information about the disease. To ascertain these mutation rates, we need mathematical models that describe the distribution of mutant cells.

On the mutation rate of neurofibromatosis

Human Genetics, 1975
A genetic study of 124 cases of neurofibromatosis was performed. The contingent of probands was mainly represented by a Russian population, most of the individuals being born in the European part of the RSFSR. Both parents of the probands were examined in only 58 cases, the proportion of sporadic cases in this group being 0.79, as compared to 0.77 for ...

The coevolution of mutation rates

1995
In order to better understand life, it is helpful to look beyond the envelop of life as we know it. A simple model of coevolution was implemented with the addition of genes for longevity and mutation rate in the individuals. This made it possible for a lineage to evolve to be immortal.

Sex biases in the mutation rate

Trends in Genetics, 1998
Men have more germ-line cell divisions than women. Does this lead to a higher mutation rate in males? Most estimates of the proportion of mutations originating in men come either from direct observation of disease-inducing mutations or from analysis of the relative rate of evolution of sex-linked and autosomal genes in primates.

A robust estimator of mutation rates

Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2009
Fluctuation analysis is an established and widely used technique of estimating mutation rates in cultured cells. This paper presents a modified median estimator of mutation rates, which is novel because it allows for unequal population sizes N(t) of the parallel cultures, and helps to detect and reduce the estimation variability.
