The current disclosure provides methods for detecting and quantitating the 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase protein (MGMT) directly in biological samples that have been fixed in formalin by the method of Selected Reaction Monitoring/Multiple Reaction Monitoring (SRM/MRM) mass spectrometry. Such biological samples are chemically preserved and fixed with formaldehyde containing agents/fixatives and may include formalin-fixed tissue/cells, formalin-fixed/paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue/cells, FFPE tissue blocks and cells from those blocks, and tissue culture cells that have been formalin fixed and/or paraffin embedded. A protein sample is prepared from the biological sample and the MGMT protein is quantitated in the sample using SRM/MRM mass spectrometry by quantitating one or more fragment peptides.

Process for in vitro diagnosis and/or monitoring and/or prognosis and/or theranosis of hepatic disorders from a biological sample originating from a subject, in which process the presence and/or the concentration of the marker ADH1B (SEQ ID NO.2) and/or the presence and/or the concentration of the combination of the markers ADH1B (SEQ ID NO.2) and ADH1A(SEQ ID NO.1) is determined.

This invention is related to a therapeutic agent for treating chronic kidney disease comprising a substance which inhibits the enzymatic activity of NNMT or suppresses NNMT gene expression, or a method for screening a therapeutic agent for treating chronic kidney disease which targets the NNMT enzyme or NNMT gene.

Provided herein are, in various embodiments, devices and compositions for detecting, monitoring, and/or treating environmental stress in, and/or selecting for propagation and/or protection, one or more marine invertebrates. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the devices and compositions provide for the detection, monitoring, treatment, and or selection of coral holobionts in response to thermal stress. In still further embodiments, the disclosure provides for the selection of coral holobionts for increased viability, variation, abundance, proliferation, fecundity, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides for mitigation against the loss of coral reefs due to climate change.

The invention relates to 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine-5-O-[1-naphthyl (benzoxy-L-alaninyl)] phosphate (NUC-3373), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in the treatment of cancer, in particular by intravenous infusion for a continuous period of up to 10 hours. The invention also relates to methods of treating cancer by administration of NUC-3373 to particular sub-groups of cancer patient. The invention further relates to methods for selecting a patient for treatment with NUC-3373.

The invention relates to inhibition of wild-type and certain mutant forms of human histone methyltransferase EZH2, the catalytic subunit of the PRC2 complex which catalyzes the mono- through tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3-K27). In one embodiment the inhibition is selective for the mutant form of the EZH2, such that trimethylation of H3-K27, which is associated with certain cancers, is inhibited. The methods can be used to treat cancers including follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Also provided are methods for identifying small molecule selective inhibitors of the mutant forms of EZH2 and also methods for determining responsiveness to an EZH2 inhibitor in a subject.
