Exploring genetic interactions with G-quadruplex structures
(2019-04-27)G-quadruplexes are non-canonical nucleic acid secondary structures of increasing biological and medicinal interest due to their proposed physiological functions in transcription, replication, translation and telomere ... -
Characterisation of the Tumour Microenvironment in Ovarian Cancer
(2019-03-18)The tumour microenvironment comprises the non-cancerous cells present in the tumour mass (fibroblasts, endothelial, and immune cells), as well as signalling molecules and extracellular matrix. Tumour growth, invasion, ... -
Improving earlier non-invasive diagnosis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer
