New therapeutic opportunities from dissecting the pre-B leukemia bone marrow microenvironment

We provide evidence that targeting leukemia-induced bone loss is a therapeutic strategy for pre-B ALL

Research

PI3K activation in neural stem cells drives tumorigenesis which can be ameliorated by targeting the cAMP response element binding protein

A novel mouse model for glioma demonstrating that the PI3K pathway is important for initiation of tumorigenesis

Research

Activation of ERBB4 in Glioblastoma Can Contribute to Increased Tumorigenicity and Influence Therapeutic Response

The functional effects of increased ERBB4 activation identify ERBB4 as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target

Research

International experience in the development of patient-derived xenograft models of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

This multi-center study provides valuable information on the success rate of establishing patient-derived pre-clinical models of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

Primary central nervous system lymphoma: Initial features, outcome, and late effects in 75 children and adolescents

Children with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma and no immunodeficiency have a good outcome

Diverse Anti-Tumor Immune Potential Driven by Individual IFNα Subtypes

Our data shows that the expression of distinct IFNα subtypes within the tumor microenvironment results in different anti-tumor activities

Research

Most clinical anti-EGFR antibodies do not neutralize both wtEGFR and EGFRvIII activation in glioma

We discovered a previously unknown major resistance mechanism in glioma in that most EGFR domain III-targeting antibodies do not neutralize EGFRvIII

CMV drives the expansion of highly functional memory T cells expressing NK-cell receptors in renal transplant recipients

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common opportunistic infection encountered in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) and may be reactivated without symptoms at any time post-transplant.

Paternal intake of folate and vitamins B6 and B12 before conception and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Higher levels of paternal dietary vitamin B12 were appeared to be associated with an increased risk of childhood ALL, with those in the highest tertile of...
