Ipilimumab, not just another anti-cancer therapy: hypophysitis as side effect illustrated by four case-reports [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen4 (CTLA-4), an inhibitory molecule typically expressed on T cells. Blockade of CTLA-4 induces an overall activation of T cells, including an immune-mediated anti-tumour ...

The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Plasma extrachromosomal circular DNA as a biomarker in EGFR‐targeted therapy of non‐small cell lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in plasma samples from EGFR‐mutated non‐small cell lung cancer patients. Plasma was collected before and during treatment with the EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib. Plasma eccDNA was detected in all cancer samples, and the presence of the EGFR gene on eccDNA serves as a potential biomarker ...

Health literacy and guideline-adherent lifestyle in people with chronic kidney disease: exploring factors associated with usage intention of a structured m-health program and pilot data on actual behavior change

open access: yesFrontiers in Nephrology
BackgroundAlthough medical guidelines for chronic kidney disease (CKD) clearly recommend measures such as blood pressure control, dietary changes, regular physical activity, and consistent medication adherence, individuals frequently encounter challenges

From Patient to Student Activation: Development of the Student Activation Measure

open access: yes, 2016
The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) was constructed to measure a person’s knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-managing one’s healthcare, or “activation” (Hibbard, Stockard, Mahoney, & Tusler, 2004).

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Igniting activation: Using unannounced standardized patients to measure patient activation in smoking cessation

open access: yesAddictive Behaviors Reports, 2019
Despite a decline, smoking rates have remained high, especially in communities with lower income, education, and limited insurance options. Evidence shows that physician-initiated counseling on smoking cessation is effective and saves lives, and that specific skills are needed to appropriately lead this type of patient-physician communication ...
