Current and emerging radiotherapy strategies for pancreatic adenocarcinoma: stereotactic, intensity modulated and particle radiotherapy.

Annals of pancreatic cancer

Ng SP, Koay EJ.
PMID: 30198024
Ann Pancreat Cancer. 2018 Aug;1. doi: 10.21037/apc.2018.07.03. Epub 2018 Aug 13.

The role of radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is unclear based on studies that used conventional doses and fractionation schedules. Modern radiotherapy techniques have not been studied in depth, however. We reviewed the literature on emerging methods...

Physical sciences are often overlooked in the field of cancer research. The Physical Sciences in Oncology Initiative was launched to integrate physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering with cancer research and clinical oncology through education, outreach, and collaboration. Here, we...

DDR1-induced neutrophil extracellular traps drive pancreatic cancer metastasis.

JCI insight

Deng J, Kang Y, Cheng CC, Li X, Dai B, Katz MH, Men T, Kim MP, Koay EA, Huang H, Brekken RA, Fleming JB.
PMID: 34237033
JCI Insight. 2021 Sep 08;6(17). doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.146133.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors are characterized by a desmoplastic reaction resulting in dense deposition of collagen that is known to promote cancer progression. A central mediator of protumorigenic collagen signaling is the receptor tyrosine kinase discoid domain receptor...

A composite smeared finite element for mass transport in capillary systems and biological tissue.

Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering

Kojic M, Milosevic M, Simic V, Koay EJ, Fleming JB, Nizzero S, Kojic N, Ziemys A, Ferrari M.
PMID: 29200531
Comput Methods Appl Mech Eng. 2017 Sep 01;324:413-437. doi: 10.1016/j.cma.2017.06.019. Epub 2017 Jun 29.

One of the key processes in living organisms is mass transport occurring from blood vessels to tissues for supplying tissues with oxygen, nutrients, drugs, immune cells, and - in the reverse direction - transport of waste products of cell...

Attenuated Microcirculation in Small Metastatic Tumors in Murine Liver.

Pharmaceutics

Ziemys A, Simic V, Milosevic M, Kojic M, Liu YT, Yokoi K.
PMID: 34065867
Pharmaceutics. 2021 May 12;13(5). doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13050703.

Metastatic cancer disease is the major cause of death in cancer patients. Because those small secondary tumors are clinically hardly detectable in their early stages, little is known about drug biodistribution and permeation into those metastatic tumors potentially contributing...

Behind the Wheel of Epithelial Plasticity in KRAS-Driven Cancers.

Frontiers in oncology

Arner EN, Du W, Brekken RA.
PMID: 31681587
Front Oncol. 2019 Oct 11;9:1049. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2019.01049. eCollection 2019.

Cellular plasticity, a feature associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), contributes to tumor cell survival, migration, invasion, and therapy resistance. Phenotypic plasticity of the epithelium is a critical feature in multiple phases of human cancer in an oncogene- and tissue-specific...

Mathematical prediction of clinical outcomes in advanced cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.

Science advances

Butner JD, Elganainy D, Wang CX, Wang Z, Chen SH, Esnaola NF, Pasqualini R, Arap W, Hong DS, Welsh J, Koay EJ, Cristini V.
PMID: 32426472
Sci Adv. 2020 Apr 29;6(18):eaay6298. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.aay6298. eCollection 2020 May.

We present a mechanistic mathematical model of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy to address the oncological need for early, broadly applicable readouts (biomarkers) of patient response to immunotherapy. The model is built upon the complex biological and physical interactions between...

Innate immunity plays a key role in controlling viral load in COVID-19: mechanistic insights from a whole-body infection dynamics model.

medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences

Dogra P, Ruiz-Ramírez J, Sinha K, Butner JD, Peláez MJ, Rawat M, Yellepeddi VK, Pasqualini R, Arap W, Sostman HD, Cristini V, Wang Z.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a pathogen of immense public health concern. Efforts to control the disease have only proven mildly successful, and the disease will likely continue to cause excessive fatalities until effective preventative measures...

VEGFR2 activity on myeloid cells mediates immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment.

JCI insight

PMID: 34673569
JCI Insight. 2021 Dec 08;6(23). doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.150735.

Angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, is induced by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (hereafter VEGF). As a result, anti-VEGF therapy is commonly used for cancer treatment. Recent studies have found that VEGF expression is also associated with immune suppression in...
