Collin, J. F., Wells, J. W., Czepulkowski, B., Lyne, L., Duriez, P. J., Banham, A. H., Mufti, G. J., & Guinn, B. A. (2015). A novel zinc finger gene, ZNF465, is inappropriately expressed in acute myeloid leukaemia cells. Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, 54(5), 288-302. https://doi.org/10.1002/gcc.22242

To increase our knowledge of leukaemia‐associated antigens, especially in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) M4, we prepared a phage display cDNA library using mRNA from the bone marrow cells of a patient with AML M4 at diagnosis. We immunoscreened 106 pf... Read More about A novel zinc finger gene, ZNF465, is inappropriately expressed in acute myeloid leukaemia cells.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) promotes unregulated platelet activation in dyslipidemic disorders. Although oxLDL stimulates activatory signaling, it is unclear how these events drive accelerated thrombosis. Here, we describe a mechanism fo...

Differentiating between monozygotic twins through DNA methylation-specific high-resolution melt curve analysis (2015)
Journal Article

Although short tandem repeat profiling is extremely powerful in identifying individuals from crime scene stains, it is unable to differentiate between monozygotic (MZ) twins. Efforts to address this include mutation analysis through whole genome sequ...

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 4(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3402/jev.v4.26901

Although the association between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) has long been known, the mechanisms are poorly understood. Circulating tissue factor-bearing extracellular vesicles have been proposed as a possible explanation for the increase...

Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Khan, G., Brooks, S. E., Mills, K. I., & Guinn, B.-A. (2015). Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer. Biomarkers in Cancer, 7, 31–38. https://doi.org/10.4137/bic.s28378

Ovarian cancer is very treatable in the early stages of disease; however, it is usually detected in the later stages, at which time, treatment is no longer as effective. If discovered early (Stage I), there is a 90% chance of five-year survival. Ther... Read More about Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer.

Effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II receptor type I blocker, on atrial remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (2015)
Journal Article

Hypertension-induced structural remodeling of the left atrium (LA) has been suggested to involve the renin–angiotensin system. This study investigated whether treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker, candesartan, regresses atrial remodeling in...
