Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of detecting a risk of the progression from a pre-invasive neoplasia of the glandular epithelium. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of detecting a risk of the progression from a pre-invasive breast neoplasia by screening for the level of expression of Stefin A in the myoepithelial cells. The method of the present invention is useful in a range of applications including, but not limited to, assessing a neoplastic condition, monitoring the progression of such a condition, predicting the likelihood of a subject progressing to a more advance disease state or informing decisions in relation to the design of treatment schedules.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of prognosing the survival of a patient with a breast neoplasm, more particularly a patient with a breast neoplasm which is estrogen receptor-/progesterone receptor-/HER-2-(“triple-negative”). The method of the present invention more particularly provides a method for prognosing breast cancer patient survival, in particular risk of metastatic spread, by screening for IRF9 expression. In a related aspect, the present invention provides a method of therapeutically or prophylactically treating patients with a triple-negative breast neoplasm, in particular those patients with triple-negative breast neoplasia which is characterised by a poor survival prognosis, still more particularly a high risk of metastatic spread, by upregulating type I IFN levels.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to RNA interference (RNAi) reagents for treatment of neuroblastoma, compositions comprising same, and use thereof to treat individuals suffering from neuroblastoma as a monotherapy or in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent. In particular, the present disclosure relates to microRNAs (miRNAs) which affect viability of neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract: Bromodomain and extra terminal protein (BET) resistant leukemic cell lines and methods for producing such cell lines are described as are methods for using such cell lines in screening assays to identify therapeutic agents. The cell lines can be generated from haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that are clonally enriched by serially exposing c-kit positive cells to a BET inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind RYK, in particular human RYK and their use in regulating RYK-associated activities. Specifically there is provided an isolated monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment or derivative thereof that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of human RYK, in particular, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, binds specifically to the WIF domain of human RYK. Preferably, the antibodies of the present invention modulate RYK-associated activity, which includes RYK mediated signal transduction activity and modulation of the interaction of Wnts with RYK and, preferably, modulate Wnt induced signaling. In particular, the antibodies inhibit the binding of Wnt5a and inhibit Wnt induced phosphorylation of Dishevelled (Dvl) 2 and/or Dvl3 proteins.
