Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more

Clinical: Gastroesophageal reflux in respiratory disease: pathogenic role and improved management

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents, such as food and acid pass into the gullet/oesophagus causing heartburn. GERD is very common in patients with lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Read more

Driving phenotypic plasticity and metastasis in small cell lung cancer

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Underlying this aggressiveness is intra-tumoural heterogeneity driven by phenotypic plasticity wherein tumour cells transition from a neuroendocrine (NE) to a non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) phenotype. Read more

Preclinical testing of collagen synthesis inhibitors for fibrotic disease

University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology

Fibrotic disease is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which then impedes tissue function. Organ fibrosis specifically kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis and lung fibrosis have limited treatment options, pose a huge clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases. Read more
