Prolonged survival in EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant lung adenocarcinoma: case report of sequential osimertinib and furmonertinib with research trend analysis

BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (ex20ins)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by limited sensitivi 1 Introduction Over the past two decades, the identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations has profoundly transformed the treatment...

Investigating the role of EGFR signalling in muscle dystrophies: implications for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

The degeneration of the muscle in muscle dystrophies involves complex interactions among the different cell types. Here, we have used datasets from single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) muscle samples to study the dysregulation of molecular pathways...

Impact of eGFR-based physician-visit recommendations on CKD-related clinical practices following health screening: a regression discontinuity study

AbstractBackground Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health issue, yet most patients remain undiagnosed. It is unclear whether recommendations for physician visit based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) promote appropriate clinical practices among individuals with undiagnosed CKD. We...

Disrupting CDK9 activity suppresses triple-negative breast cancer and is enhanced by EGFR Inhibition

AbstractPurpose CDK9, in complex with cyclin T1 or T2, is essential for mRNA transcription by enabling paused RNA polymerase II to proceed into elongation. Increasing evidence highlights CDK9’s involvement in transcriptional addiction in cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an...

An autosomal recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene induces perinatal lethality in “Blonde d'Aquitaine” calves

AbstractBackground Six cases of perinatal lethality associated with phenotypes consistent across cases, short and brush-haired appearance, alopecia and erythematous areas on the limbs and facial protuberances, excess skin all-over the body, have recently occurred in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed...
