P95-HER2 promotes metastatic progression by biasing MRTFA dependent signaling.

Preprint · July 23, 2026 Naturally occurring isoforms of the proto-oncogene Erb-B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 2 (ERBB2, HER2) incite unique pathways of tumor progression in mouse models of breast cancer. Although each isoform has been shown to progress to metastasis, the N-terminall ... Full text Link to item Cite

CoSiDeX: A hyperspectral fluorescent protein resource for highly multiplexed imaging.

Preprint · May 14, 2025 Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have revolutionized spatiotemporal observations in biology. Yet, the design of multiplexed assays remains constrained by limited spectral characterization and palette validation. Although over 1,000 FPs have been catalogued, syst ...

A Precision Ultrasound-Localized Sonoporation-Equipment (PULSE) Enabling Intratumoral Delivery for Cancer Immunotherapy

Preprint · 2025 Cancer immunotherapy offers a promising long-term treatment for solid tumors by activating the immune system, but side effects and systemic toxicity limit its broad clinical translation. While intratumoral delivery addresses these limitations, elevated sti ... Full text Cite

Nonlinear progression during the occult transition establishes cancer lethality.

Preprint · August 12, 2024 Cancer screening is based upon a linear model of neoplastic growth and malignant progression. Yet, historical observations suggest that malignant progression is uncoupled from growth which may explain the paradoxical increase in early-stage breast cancer d ... Full text Link to item Cite
