Institutions: SUNY Upstate Medical University, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Monmouth Medical Center, University of Balamand, Cleveland Clinic Ohio, UnityPoint Methodist, Houston Methodist Cancer Center, and Cleveland Clinic Florida

Quote: “AL amyloidosis is a fatal disease and systemic therapy is required to prevent deposition of amyloid in other organs and prevent progressive organ failure.”


#6: Deciphering the mechanisms of action of progesterone in breast cancer

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28455 

Authors: Gaurav Chakravorty, Suhail Ahmad, Mukul S. Godbole, Sudeep Gupta, Rajendra A. Badwe, and Amit Dutt

Institutions: Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute and MIT World Peace University 

Quote: “The mechanisms underlying the observed effects of progesterone on breast cancer outcomes are unclear.”


#5: Targeting cellular respiration as a therapeutic strategy in glioblastoma

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28424 

Authors: Enyuan Shang, Trang Thi Thu Nguyen, Mike-Andrew Westhoff, Georg Karpel-Massler, and Markus D. Siegelin

Institutions: Columbia University Medical Center, City University of New York and Ulm University Medical Center 

Quote: “Here, we provide a brief overview of the status quo of targeting mitochondrial energy metabolism in glioblastoma and highlight a novel combination therapy.”


#4: Selective protection of normal cells from chemotherapy, while killing drug-resistant cancer cells

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28382 

Author: Mikhail V. Blagosklonny, M.D., Ph.D. 

Institution: Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center 

Quote: “Selective protection of normal cells may transform therapy of cancer.”

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28354 

Authors: Anqi Shao and David M. Owens

Institution: Columbia University Irving Medical Center

Quote: “CD200 expression is reported across most cancer types […]”

Quote: “In breast cancer, MTAP downregulation activates ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) which in turn leads to formation of putrescine which promotes tumor migration, invasion and angiogenesis.”


#1: Using cancer proteomics data to identify gene candidates for therapeutic targeting

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28420 

Authors: Diana Monsivais, Sydney E. Parks, Darshan S. Chandrashekar, Sooryanarayana Varambally, and Chad J. Creighton
