Fingolimod overcomes cisplatin resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by targeting NUP54 to disrupt homologous recombination repair

Cisplatin resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). To address this challenge, we screened a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug library and identified fingolimod, an immunomodulatory agent, as a potent inhibit...

Imaging of ROR1 expression in tumors using radiolabeled affibody molecules

Abstract Purpose Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is an attractive molecular target for anti-tumor therapies undergoing late-stage clinical development. Quantitative imaging of ROR1 expression could enable identification of patients likely to respond to such...
