Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Particle physics today faces the challenge of explaining the mystery of dark matter, the origin of matter over anti-matter in the Universe, the origin of the neutrino masses, the apparent fine-tuning of the electro-weak scale, and many other aspects of fundamental physics. Perhaps the most striking frontier to emerge in the search for answers involves new physics at mass scales comparable to familiar matter, below the GeV-scale, or even radically below, down to sub-eV scales, and with very feeble interaction strength. New theoretical ideas to address dark matter and other fundamental questions predict such feebly interacting particles (FIPs) at these scales, and indeed, existing data provide numerous hints for such possibility. A vibrant experimental program to discover such physics is under way, guided by a systematic theoretical approach firmly grounded on the underlying principles of the Standard Model. This document represents the report of the FIPs 2022 workshop, held at CERN between the 17 and 21 October 2022 and aims to give an overview of these efforts, their motivations, and the decadal goals that animate the community involved in the search for FIPs.

MTH1 inhibition eradicates cancer by preventing sanitation of the dNTP pool
- 2014

In: Nature. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 508:7495, s. 215-221

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Cancers have dysfunctional redox regulation resulting in reactive oxygen species production, damaging both DNA and free dNTPs. The MTH1 protein sanitizes oxidized dNTP pools to prevent incorporation of damaged bases during DNA replication. Although MTH1 is non-essential in normal cells, we show that cancer cells require MTH1 activity to avoid incorporation of oxidized dNTPs, resulting in DNA damage and cell death. We validate MTH1 as an anticancer target in vivo and describe small molecules TH287 and TH588 as first-in-class nudix hydrolase family inhibitors that potently and selectively engage and inhibit the MTH1 protein in cells. Protein co-crystal structures demonstrate that the inhibitors bindin the active site of MTH1. The inhibitors cause incorporation of oxidized dNTPs in cancer cells, leading to DNA damage, cytotoxicity and therapeutic responses in patient-derived mouse xenografts. This study exemplifies the non-oncogene addiction concept for anticancer treatment and validates MTH1 as being cancer phenotypic lethal.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In October 2017, the International Olympic Committee hosted an international expert group of physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in treating and researching paediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Representatives from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society, European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy, International Society of Arthroscopy Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, and Sociedad Latinoamericana de Artroscopia, Rodilla y Deporte attended. Physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons with clinical and research experience in the field, and an ethics expert with substantial experience in the area of sports injuries also participated. Injury management is challenging in the current landscape of clinical uncertainty and limited scientific knowledge. Injury management decisions also occur against the backdrop of the complexity of shared decision-making with children and the potential long-term ramifications of the injury. This consensus statement addresses six fundamental clinical questions regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and management of paediatric ACL injuries. The aim of this consensus statement is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-informed summary to support the clinician, and help children with ACL injury and their parents/guardians make the best possible decisions.

Development of a two-dimensional liquid chromatography system for isolation of drug metabolites
- 2010

In: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis. - : Elsevier BV. - 0731-7085 .- 1873-264X. ; 51:3, s. 649-657

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The separation, isolation and identification of drug metabolites from complex endogenous matrices like urine, plasma and tissue extracts are challenging tasks. Metabolites are usually first identified by mass spectrometry and tentative structures proposed from product ion spectra. In many cases mass spectrometry cannot be used to determine positional isomers and metabolites have to be fractionated in microgram amounts for analysis by NMR. To overcome the difficulties associated with separation and isolation of drug metabolites from biological matrices, a new two-dimensional liquid chromatography system has been developed. The retention times of 45 acidic, basic and neutral compounds were determined on liquid chromatographic columns with different stationary phases in order to identify two columns with highly different selectivity to be used for two-dimensional liquid chromatography. Drug metabolites of three model compounds were first generated in vitro with liver microsomes and then compared with potential metabolites formed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by meso-tetra (4-sulphonatophenyl) porphine (porphine). The results showed that the porphine system could be used as a complementary system for the generation of phase I microsomal metabolites with high yield of some metabolites in a less complex matrix. The two-dimensional liquid chromatography system was used to separate and isolate microsomal and porphine generated drug metabolites in off-line and on-line mode. Finally, to verify the utility of the developed system, urine samples were spiked with metabolite standards of model compounds for separation in the two-dimensional system. Excellent separations were obtained with an amide column in the first dimension and a pentafluorophenylpropyl (PFPP) column in the second dimension. The metabolites were successfully separated from each other as well as from the complex biological matrix. The results demonstrate the applicability of the system for fractionation of drug metabolites but it could also be used in many other analytical purposes, especially for basic compounds. Trace levels of metabolites were successfully separated in the on-line mode which failed in the off-line mode.
