Drugs for solid cancer: the productivity crisis prompts a rethink
Despite remarkable progress in cancer-drug discovery, the delivery of novel, safe, and sustainably effective products to the clinic has stalled. Using Src as a model, we examine key steps in drug development. The preclinical evidence on the relationship between Src and solid cancer is in sharp contrast with the modest anticancer effect noted in conventional clinical trials. Here, we consider Sr...
متن کاملReversing functional extinction of mammals prompts a rethink of paradigms about seed fate in arid Australia
Functional extinction of once abundant species has frequently preceded understanding of their ecological roles. Consequently, our understanding of ecosystems is prone to shifting baselines because it often relies on observations made on depauperate species assemblages. In Australian deserts, current paradigms are that ants are the dominant granivores, mammals are unimportant seed predators and ...
متن کاملSupport for the Human Cancer Genome Project.
IN“ANOPENLETTERTOCANCERRESEARCHERS” (Letters, 21 Oct., p. 439), S. J. Elledge and G. J. Hannon questioned the wisdom of asking the NIH to undertake the Human Cancer Genome Project (HCGP) (1) recently proposed by a National Cancer Institute Working Group, of which we were members. Elledge and Hannon object to the HCGP on the grounds that the project is unlikely to achieve its goals, that the exp...
متن کاملGenome and genetic resources from the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project.
The Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (CGAP) is a collaborative network of cancer researchers with a common goal: to decipher the genetic changes that occur during cancer formation and progression. The project brings together several recent technologies capable of high-throughput analysis to help achieve this goal. Automated sequencing of cDNA libraries is a primary focus and is geared towards prov...
متن کاملExploring cancer genomic data from the cancer genome atlas project
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has compiled genomic, epigenomic, and proteomic data from more than 10,000 samples derived from 33 types of cancer, aiming to improve our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer development. Availability of these genome-wide information provides an unprecedented opportunity for uncovering new key regulators of signaling pathways or new roles of pre-existing...
