Journal ArticleDOI

Localized and reversible TGFbeta signalling switches breast cancer cells from cohesive to single cell motility.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TGFβ signalling is transiently and locally activated in motile single cells and essential for blood-borne metastasis as breast cancer cells spread.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repair of UV-induced thymine dimers is compromised in cells expressing the E6 protein from human papillomaviruses types 5 and 18.

TL;DR: Results show that unrepaired DNA damage can be observed in UV-B-irradiated cells expressing the E6 protein of HPV types found in cervical and epithelial cancers, and such cells have the ability to overcome the G1 cell cycle checkpoint induced as a result of un repaired DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rad51 inhibition is an effective means of targeting DNA repair in glioma models and CD133+ tumor-derived cells.

TL;DR: Rad51-dependent repair makes a significant contribution to DNA repair in glioma cells and contributes to resistance to both XR and TMZ, and agents targeting Rad51- dependent repair would be effective adjuvants in standard combination regimens.
