The Large GTPase Guanylate-Binding Protein-1 (GBP-1) Promotes Mitochondrial Fission in Glioblastoma.

Glioblastomas (aka Glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs)) are the most deadly of the adult brain tumors. Even with aggressive treatment, the prognosis is extremely poor. The large GTPase Guanylate-Binding Protein-1 (GBP-1) contributes to the poor prognosis of GBM by promoting migration and invasion.

Assessing the pre-implementation context for financial navigation in rural and non-rural oncology clinics.

Background: Financial navigation (FN) is an evidence-based intervention designed to address financial toxicity for cancer patients. FN's success depends on organizations' readiness to implement and other factors that may hinder or support implementation. Tailored implementation strategies can support practice change but must be matched to the implementation context.

Unraveling the Role of Guanylate-Binding Proteins (GBPs) in Breast Cancer: A Comprehensive Literature Review and New Data on Prognosis in Breast Cancer Subtypes.

At least one member of the Guanylate-Binding Protein (GBP) family of large interferon-induced GTPases has been classified as both a marker of good prognosis and as a potential drug target to treat breast cancers. However, the activity of individual GBPs appears to not just be tumor cell type-specific but dependent on the growth factor and/or cytokine environment in which the tumor cells reside. To clarify what we do and do not know about GBPs in breast cancer, the current literature on GBP-1, GBP-2, and GBP-5 in breast cancer has been assembled.

Financial Assistance Processes and Mechanisms in Rural and Nonrural Oncology Care Settings.

Purpose: Patients with cancer are at heightened risk of experiencing financial hardship. Financial navigation (FN) is an evidence-based approach for identifying and addressing patient and caregiver financial needs. In preparation for the implementation of a multisite FN intervention, we describe existing (ie, events and actions) and (ie, how events work together) connecting patients to financial assistance, comparing rural and nonrural practices.

The Large GTPase, GBP-2, Regulates Rho Family GTPases to Inhibit Migration and Invadosome Formation in Breast Cancer Cells.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Despite advances in early detection and treatment, it is predicted that over 43,000 women will die of breast cancer in 2021. To lower this number, more information about the molecular players in breast cancer are needed.
