Correlation between density of CD8+ T cell infiltrates in microsatellite unstable colorectal cancers and frameshift mutations: a rationale for personalized immunotherapy

Colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI-CRCs) represent 15% of all CRCs, including Lynch syndrome as the most frequent hereditary form of this disease. Notably, MSI-CRCs have a higher density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) tha...

Nuclear EGFR Regulates Prostate Bone Metastasis

Dysregulation of the EGFR signaling axis enhances bone metastases in many solid cancers. However, the relevant downstream effector signals in this axis are unclear. miR-1 was recently shown to function as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer cells, wh...

Tumor-Induced Impairment of Peripheral Vessel Function

Cancer produces a variety of collateral effects in patients beyond the malignancy itself, including threats to distal organ functions. However, the basis for such effects, associated with either primary or metastatic tumors, are generally poorly unders...

The Metastatically Relevant miRNA Landscape

The microRNA (miRNA) landscape changes during the progression of cancer. We defined a metastasis-associated miRNA landscape using a systematic approach. We profiled and validated miRNA and mRNA expression in a unique series of human colorectal metastas...

A systematic approach to defining the microRNA landscape in metastasis

The microRNA landscape changes during the progression of cancer. We defined a metastasis-associated microRNA landscape using a systematic approach. We profiled and validated microRNA and mRNA expression in a unique series of human colorectal metastasis...
