07/2024 - Tumor evolution metrics predict recurrence beyond 10 years in locally advanced prostate cancer
Cancer evolution lays the groundwork for predictive oncology. Testing evolutionary metrics requires quantitative measurements in controlled clinical trials. We mapped genomic intratumor heterogeneity in locally advanced prostate cancer using 642 samples from 114 individuals enrolled in clinical trials with a 12-year median follow-up. We concomitantly assessed morphological heterogeneity using deep learning in 1,923 histological sections […]
07/2024 - Distinct genetic liability profiles define clinically relevant patient strata across common diseases
Stratified medicine holds great promise to tailor treatment to the needs of individual patients. While genetics holds great potential to aid patient stratification, it remains a major challenge to operationalize complex genetic risk factor profiles to deconstruct clinical heterogeneity. Contemporary approaches to this problem rely on polygenic risk scores (PRS), which provide only limited clinical utility […]
06/2024 - Analyzing Questions About Alcohol in Pregnancy Using Web-Based Forum Topics: Qualitative Content Analysis
Background:Prenatal alcohol exposure represents a substantial public health concern as it may lead to detrimental outcomes, including pregnancy complications and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Although UK national guidance recommends abstaining from alcohol if pregnant or planning a pregnancy, evidence suggests that confusion remains on this topic among members of the public, and little is known […]
05/2024 - Tubulin tyrosination/detyrosination regulates the sorting of intraflagellar transport trains on axonemal microtubule doublets
Assembly and function of cilia rely on the continuous transport of ciliary components between the cell body and the ciliary tip. This is performed by specialized molecular machines, known as Intraflagellar Transport (IFT) trains. Anterograde IFT trains are powered by kinesin-2 motors and move along the B-tubules (enriched in detyrosinated tubulin) of the ciliary microtubule […]
