Cell Rep Med . 2025 Jan; 6(1):101880. PMID: 39742868
Studies indicate that breast tissue has a distinct modifiable microbiome population. We demonstrate that endocrine-targeting therapies, such as tamoxifen, reshape the non-cancerous breast microbiome to influence tissue metabolism and reduce...

Cancers (Basel) . 2023 Dec; 15(24). PMID: 38136319
Most women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) have estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ER+) disease. The current mouse models of ER+ BC often rely on exogenous estrogen to encourage metastasis, which modifies...

Metabolites . 2022 Nov; 12(11). PMID: 36355119
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) is a matricellular protein with many important roles in mediating carcinogenesis, fibrosis, leukocyte recruitment, and metabolism. We have previously shown a role of diet in the absence of...

Peptides . 2022 Mar; 152:170784. PMID: 35288251
Doxorubicin (Dox), an effective chemotherapeutic, can cause cumulative dose-dependent cardiovascular toxicity, which may manifest as vascular dysfunction leading to long-term end-organ damage. Currently, there are no effective treatments to mitigate...

Triozzi P, Stirling E, Song Q, Westwood B, Kooshki M, Forbes M, et al.
Clin Cancer Res . 2022 Mar; 28(6):1192-1202. PMID: 35284940
Purpose: Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors is improving the outcomes of several cancers. However, only a subset of patients respond. Therefore, predictive biomarkers are critically needed to guide treatment decisions and...
