Revealing Tumor Habitats from Texture Heterogeneity Analysis for Classification of Lung Cancer Malignancy and Aggressiveness

We propose an approach for characterizing structural heterogeneity of lung cancer nodules using Computed Tomography Texture Analysis (CTTA). Measures of heterogeneity were used to test the hypothesis that heterogeneity can be used as predictor of nodule ma ...

Precision targeting of tumor macrophages with a CD206 binding peptide

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) expressing the multi-ligand endocytic receptor mannose receptor (CD206/MRC1) contribute to tumor immunosuppression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and relapse. Here, we describe a peptide that selectively targets MRC1-express ...

Cell proliferation and migration during early development of a symbiotic scleractinian coral

Anders Meibom, Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

In scleractinian reef-building corals, patterns of cell self-renewal, migration and death remain virtually unknown, limiting our understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying initiation of calcification, and ontogenesis of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellat ...

Scleractinian coral morphogenesis : searching for stem cells and precursors of the skeletogenic calicodermis

Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe

Metamorphosis is a crucial step in the life cycle of a scleractinian coral: The swimming coral larva, the planula, settles, and metamorphoses into a sessile calcifying primary polyp, which subsequently grows into an adult colony. Importantly, morphogenesis ...

The in situ light microenvironment of corals

Michael Kühl

We used a novel diver-operated microsensor system to collect in situ spectrally resolved light fields on corals with a micrometer spatial resolution. The light microenvironment differed between polyp and coenosarc tissues with scalar irradiance (400-700 nm ...

Identification of MAGI1 as a tumor-suppressor protein induced by cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in colorectal cancer cells

Cyclooxyganase-2 (COX-2), a rate-limiting enzyme in the prostaglandin synthesis pathway, is overexpressed in many cancers and contributes to cancer progression through tumor cell-autonomous and paracrine effects. Regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammat ...

The Intestinal Nuclear Receptor Signature With Epithelial Localization Patterns and Expression Modulation in Tumors

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The WNT-adenomatous polyposis coli system controls cell fate in the intestinal epithelium, where compartment-specific genes tightly regulate proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Nuclear receptors are transcription factors funct ...

Lkb1 is required for TGFβ-mediated myofibroblast differentiation

Boris Hinz, Pierre Jean Arnould Wipff

Inactivating mutations of the tumor-suppressor kinase gene LKB1 underlie Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), which is characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps with a prominent smooth-muscle and stromal component. Recently, it was noted that PJS-typ ...

Unique mechanisms of growth regulation and tumor suppression upon Apc inactivation in the pancreas

Beta-catenin signaling is heavily involved in organogenesis. Here, we investigated how pancreas differentiation, growth and homeostasis are affected following inactivation of an endogenous inhibitor of beta-catenin, adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc). In adu ...

From gut homeostasis to cancer

Freddy Radtke

The mammalian intestine has one of the highest turnover rates in the body. The intestinal epithelium is completely renewed in less than a week. It is divided into spatially distinct compartments in the form of finger-like projections and invaginations that ...

Notch/gamma-secretase inhibition turns proliferative cells in intestinal crypts and adenomas into goblet cells

Freddy Radtke

The self-renewing epithelium of the small intestine is ordered into stem/progenitor crypt compartments and differentiated villus compartments. Recent evidence indicates that the Wnt cascade is the dominant force in controlling cell fate along the crypt-vil ...

Pancreas-specific deletion of beta-catenin reveals Wnt-dependent and Wnt-independent functions during development

Jörg Hülsken, Anne Grapin-Botton

Mutations and deregulation of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and beta-catenin are implicated in specific cancers of the pancreas, but the role of Wnt pathway in normal pancreas development and homeostasis is unknown [1-4]. This article reports a comprehe ...

Clinical assessment of fluorescence cystoscopy during transurethral bladder resection in superficial bladder cancer

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

The prognosis of superficial bladder cancer in terms of recurrence and disease progression is related to bladder tumor multiplicity and the presence of concomitant "plane" tumors such as high-grade dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. This study in 33 patients ...

Photodynamic therapy for early squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus, bronchi, and mouth with m-tetra(hydroxyphenyl) chlorin

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

Objective: To clinically evaluate a new photosensitizer, m- tetra(hydroxyphenyl) chlorin (m-THPC), for the photodynamic therapy of early squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract. Design: Phase 1 included evaluation of the innocuousness of ...
