Targeting CSF1R to Block TAMs Eases EOC Malignant Ascites

Malignant ascites is a common complication in the late stages of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) that greatly diminishes the quality of life of patients. Malignant ascites is a known consequence of vascular dysfunction, but current approved treatments ...

WDR5 supports an N-Myc transcriptional complex that drives a pro-tumorigenic gene expression signature in neuroblastoma

MYCN gene amplification in neuroblastoma drives a gene expression program that correlates strongly with aggressive disease. Mechanistically, trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) at target gene promoters is a strict pre-requisite for this transc...

Identification of cCAFs from Metastatic Cancer Patients

Metastasis is facilitated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) in the tumor microenvironment through mechanisms yet to be elucidated. In this study, we used a size-based microfilter technology developed by our group to examine whether circulating CAF...

The CUL4B/AKT/{beta}-catenin axis restricts the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells to prohibit the establishment of a tumor permissive microenvironment

Cancer progression requires a permissive microenvironment that shields cancer from the host immunosurveillance. The presence of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) is a key feature of a tumor-permissive microenvironment. Cullin 4B (CUL4B), a scaff...

Getting a Mammogram

You’ve seen ads, pink ribbons and fundraising campaigns, but how much do you really know about getting a mammogram?
