Mitochondrial metabolism in cancer transformation and progression
(2018-07-20)Cancer cells undergo a multifaceted rewiring of cellular metabolism to support their biosynthetic needs. Although the major determinants of this metabolic transformation have been elucidated, their broad biological ... -
Multiplexed biochemical imaging reveals the extent and complexity of non-genetic heterogeneity in DNA damage-induced caspase dynamics.
(2018-04-28)Genetically identical cells show a heterogeneous response to a multitude of signals such as growth factors and DNA damage. While this heterogeneity has been shown to be a major determinant of treatment success in several ... -
Gain-of-function and dominant-negative effects of distinct p53 mutations in lung tumours
(2018-02-24)Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with current treatments providing limited therapeutic benefit in most cases. TP53 (Trp53, p53) mutations occur in approximately 50% of lung ... -
Stochasticity and order: studies of keratinocyte proliferation
(2014-04-08)A central tenet of stem cell biology has been that proliferating tissues are maintained through a cellular hierarchy comprising of self-renewing stem cells at the apex, multiple lineage-restricted short-lived progenitor ...
