Inter- and intra-tumoural heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
(Wiley Online, 2018-12-21)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are orchestrators of the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) microenvironment. Stromal heterogeneity may explain differential pathophysiological roles of the stroma (pro- versus ... -
Intussuscepting Ampullary Adenoma: An Unusual Cause of Gastric Outlet Obstruction Leading to Cavitating Lung Lesions.
(Karger Publishers, 2016-09)Ampullary adenomas are a rare clinical entity, occurring at a rate of 0.04-0.12% in the general population. They are premalignant lesions which have the capability to progress to malignancy, and they should be excised if ... -
Investigating the Role of Protein Kinase N2 (PKN2) in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

The ITGB6 gene: its role in experimental and clinical biology.
(2020-12)Integrin αvβ6 is a membrane-spanning heterodimeric glycoprotein involved in wound healing and the pathogenesis of diseases including fibrosis and cancer. Therefore, it is of great clinical interest for us to understand the ... -
ITPase deficiency causes a Martsolf-like syndrome with a lethal infantile dilated cardiomyopathy.
(2019-03)Typical Martsolf syndrome is characterized by congenital cataracts, postnatal microcephaly, developmental delay, hypotonia, short stature and biallelic hypomorphic mutations in either RAB3GAP1 or RAB3GAP2. Genetic analysis ... -
Lipid Metabolism at the Nexus of Diet and Tumor Microenvironment
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)Obesity is a leading contributing factor to cancer development worldwide. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diet affects cancer risk and also substantially alters therapeutic outcome. Therefore, studying the impact ... -
LiquidCNA: Tracking subclonal evolution from longitudinal liquid biopsies using somatic copy number alterations.
(2021-08-20)Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) measured via liquid biopsies provides a way for minimally invasive monitoring of tumor evolutionary dynamics during therapy. Here we present liquidCNA, a method to track subclonal evolution from ... -
Low health literacy predicts decline in physical function among older adults: Findings from the LitCog cohort study
(2015-01-01)Background: Limited health literacy is associated with worse physical function in cross-sectional studies. We aimed to determine if health literacy is a risk factor for decline in physical function among older adults. ...
