Significance Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive carcinoma with few effective treatment options beyond first-line chemotherapy. BH3 mimetics, such as ABT-263, promote apoptosis in SCLC cell lines, but early phase clinical trials demonstrated no significant benefit. Here, we examine the sensitivity of a large panel including SCLC, to ABT-263 and find that high Bcl2-interacting mediator death (BIM) low myeloid leukemia 1 (MCL-1) expression together predict sensitivity. cells...

Although it has become increasingly clear that cancers display extensive cellular heterogeneity, the spatial growth dynamics of genetically distinct clones within developing solid tumours remain poorly understood. Here we leverage mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM) to trace subclonal populations retaining or lacking p53 oncogenic Kras-initiated lung and pancreatic tumours. In both models, constrains progression advanced adenocarcinomas. Comparison lineage-related knockout wild-type...

Restorative sleep is a commonly used term but poorly defined construct. Few studies have assessed restorative in nationally representative samples. We convened panel of 7 expert physicians and researchers to evaluate enhance available measures sleep. then developed the revised Sleep Questionnaire (REST-Q), which comprises 9 items assessing feelings resulting from prior episode, each with 5-point Likert response scales. Finally, we prevalence high, somewhat, low REST-Q scores sample US adults...
