Translational models of prostate cancer bone metastasis

…, AN Ali, PG Telmer, JA Ronald, HS Leong - Nature Reviews …, 2018 - nature.com
Metastatic disease is the principal cause of prostate-cancer-related mortality. Our ability to
accurately recapitulate the spread of prostate cancer to bone — the most common site of …

Whole–genome characterization of chemoresistant ovarian cancer

…, K Quek, C Wilhelm-Benartzi, E Curry, HS Leong… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) have experienced little
improvement in overall survival, and standard treatment has not advanced beyond platinum-based …

Glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation in cardiac hypertrophy—why so unbalanced?

HS Leong, RW Brownsey, JE Kulpa… - … and Physiology Part A …, 2003 - Elsevier
Cardiac hypertrophy, induced by chronic pressure or volume overload, is associated with
abnormalities in energy metabolism as well as characteristic increases in muscle mass and …

Why weight? Modelling sample and observational level variability improves power in RNA-seq analyses

…, S Su, N Jansz, K Chen, HS Leong… - Nucleic acids …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Variations in sample quality are frequently encountered in small RNA-sequencing
experiments, and pose a major challenge in a differential expression analysis. Removal of high …

[HTML][HTML] Invadopodia are required for cancer cell extravasation and are a therapeutic target for metastasis

HS Leong, AE Robertson, K Stoletov, SJ Leith, CA Chin… - Cell reports, 2014 - cell.com
Tumor cell extravasation is a key step during cancer metastasis, yet the precise mechanisms
that regulate this dynamic process are unclear. We utilized a high-resolution time-lapse …

[PDF][PDF] Oncogenic KRAS regulates tumor cell signaling via stromal reciprocation

…, M Dimitriadi, KM McMahon, JD Worboys, HS Leong… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
Oncogenic mutations regulate signaling within both tumor cells and adjacent stromal cells.
Here, we show that oncogenic KRAS (KRAS G12D ) also regulates tumor cell signaling via …

High-throughput immunoglobulin repertoire analysis distinguishes between human IgM memory and switched memory B-cell populations

YC Wu, D Kipling, HS Leong, V Martin… - Blood, The Journal …, 2010 - ashpublications.org
B-cell receptor (BCR) diversity is achieved centrally by rearrangement of Variable, Diversity,
and Joining genes, and peripherally by somatic hypermutation and class-switching of the …

Molecular analysis of circulating tumor cells identifies distinct copy-number profiles in patients with chemosensitive and chemorefractory small-cell lung cancer

…, DG Rothwell, B Mesquita, C Smowton, HS Leong… - Nature medicine, 2017 - nature.com
In most patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)—a metastatic, aggressive disease—the
condition is initially chemosensitive but then relapses with acquired chemoresistance. In a …

[HTML][HTML] Vasculogenic mimicry in small cell lung cancer

…, S Mohan, J Antonello, B Abbott, HS Leong… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by prevalent circulating tumour cells (CTCs),
early metastasis and poor prognosis. We show that SCLC patients (37/38) have rare CTC …

Bridging the In Vitro to In Vivo gap: Using the Chick Embryo Model to Accelerate Nanoparticle Validation and Qualification for In Vivo studies

KS Butler, CJ Brinker, HS Leong - ACS nano, 2022 - ACS Publications
We postulate that nanoparticles (NPs) for use in therapeutic applications have largely not
realized their clinical potential due to an overall inability to use in vitro results to predict NP …
