A multimodal fine-funded foundation model to support precision medicine of mesothelioma

BACKGROUND. Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer caused by asbestos, with less than 10% surviving more than 5 years. Precision medicine although feasible [1], is in its infancy [2]. Read more

Obtaining an integrated understanding of oncogenic RAS signalling

The RAS family of small GTPases act as signalling hubs regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The physiological importance of RAS signalling is evident as about 25% of all human cancers harbour mutations in ras genes, where kras is most frequently mutated (about 18%) (COSMIC, v94). Read more

Understanding the roles of mycobacterial triacylglycerol in modulating mycobacterial growth and biophysical properties

Mycobacteria contain more lipid than any other bacteria. In addition to a characteristically lipid-rich cell envelope, mycobacteria can accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) as cytoplasmic lipid bodies (LBs). Read more
