Background: Bone toxicity and more specifically Radiotherapy Related Insufficiency Fractures (RRIFs) are common late effects of pelvic radiotherapy, associated with increased morbidity and reduced quality of life, while their cost to the health system is currently unknown. The mechanisms underlying RRIFs are not well understood. Effective preventive techniques and management pathways need to be developed and validated with robust clinical and health economic analyses. The RadB...

MiR-346 is an Androgen Receptor (AR)-activating miR that associates with DNA damage response (DDR)-linked transcripts in prostate cancer (PC). MiR-346 induces rapid and extensive DNA damage in PC cells through chromatin association, activation of transcription, R-loop formation and DNA replication stress, leading to checkpoint activation and cell cycle arrest. MiR-346 interacts with lncRNA, NORAD, in PC cells, which functions to maintain mitosis, DDR, and chromosomal integrity...
