What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

Drug resistance is a major challenge for curative cancer treatment, representing the main reason of death in patients. Evolutionary biology suggests pauses between treatment rounds as a way to delay or even avoid resistance emergence. Indeed, this approach has already shown promising preclinical and early clinical results, and stimulated...
Colorectal cancer progression is intrinsically linked to stepwise deregulation of the intestinal differentiation trajectory. In this process, sequential mutations of APC, KRAS, TP53, and SMAD4 enable oncogenic signaling and establish the hallmarks of cancer. Here, we use mass cytometry of isogenic human colon organoids and patient-derived cancer or...
Differentiated cancer cells may regain stem cell characteristics; however, the effects of such a cellular dedifferentiation on tumoural growth and treatment are currently understudied. Thus, we here extend a mathematical model of cancer stem cell (CSC) driven tumour growth to also include dedifferentiation. We show that dedifferentiation increases...

Colorectal cancer progression is intrinsically linked to stepwise deregulation of the intestinal differentiation trajectory. In this process, sequential mutations of APC/Wnt, KRAS, TP53 and SMAD4 stepwisely enable an oncogenic signalling network. Here, we developed a novel mass cytometry antibody panel to analyse colorectal cancer cell differentiat...
The intestinal epithelium is one of the fastest renewing tissues in mammals. It shows a hierarchical organisation, where intestinal stem cells at the base of crypts give rise to rapidly dividing transit amplifying cells that in turn renew the pool of short-lived differentiated cells. Upon injury and stem-cell loss, cells can also de-differentiate....
The intestinal epithelium is one of the fastest renewing tissues in mammals with an average turnover time of only a few days. It shows a remarkable degree of stability towards external perturbations such as physical injuries or radiation damage. Tissue renewal is driven by intestinal stem cells, and differentiated cells can de-differentiate if the...

... Another example in colorectal cancer highlights oncogenic signaling networks that can further inform cancer therapies. 37 Specifically, dysregulation of Wnt, KRAS, TP53, and SMAD4 in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids leads to an oncogenic state. Using antibodies and mass cytometry, cells in the oncogenic signaling mutation organoids exhibited an altered differentiation pathway. ...
... The growing recognition of the importance of understanding the processes underpinning CSC-fueled tumor growth has led to the formulation of a number of mathematical models [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41]. These models offer insights into growth and differentiation rates, cell population fractions, lateral inhibition, and chemo-and radio-therapy effects, to cite a few processes. ...
