Comparison of Gene Expression Patterns Between Mouse Models of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Liver Tissues From Patients
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder in industrialized countries. Mouse models of NAFLD have been used in studies of pathogenesis and treatment, and have certain features of the human disease. We performed … Continue reading

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder in industrialized countries. Mouse models of NAFLD have been used in studies ofpathogenesis and treatment, and have certain features of the human disease. We performed … Continue reading
ETS-Transcription Factor ETV1 Regulates Stromal Expansion and Metastasis in Pancreatic Cancer
The ETS-transcription factor ETV1 is involved in epithelial−mesenchymal transition during pancreatic development and is induced in mouse pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We investigated the fun… Continue reading

The ETS-transcription factor ETV1 is involved in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) during pancreatic development and is induced in mouse pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We investigat… Continue reading
Comparative Effectiveness and Cost Effectiveness of a Multitarget Stool DNA Test to Screen for Colorectal Neoplasia
We developed a model to determine whether a multitarget stool DNA (MT-sDNA) test that detects colorectal cancer (CRC) and polyps with higher sensitivity and lower specificity, but at a higher cost, than the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) can be used i… Continue reading
Comparative Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of a Multi-target Stool DNA Test to Screen for Colorectal Neoplasia
We developed a model to determine whether a multitarget stool DNA (MT-sDNA) test that detects colorectal cancer (CRC) and polyps with higher sensitivity and lower specificity, but a higher cost, than the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) can be used in s… Continue reading
Frequent PIK3CA Mutations in Colorectal and Endometrial Tumors With 2 or More Somatic Mutations in Mismatch Repair Genes
Some colorectal and endometrial tumors with microsatellite instability not attributable to MLH1 hypermethylation or germline mutations contain 2 or more somatic mutations in genes encoding mismatch repair (MMR) proteins. We sought to define the molecul… Continue reading

Prevalence of Resistance-Associated Substitutions in HCV NS5A, NS5B, or NS3 and Outcomes of Treatment With Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir
We evaluated the effects of baseline hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A, NS5B, and NS3 resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) on response to the combination of ledipasvir and sofosbuvir, with or without ribavirin, in patients with HCV genotype 1 infection. Continue reading
