Aurora kinase B is required for growth and expansion of medulloblastoma cells in the tissue context

The impact of the tissue context on tumor growth and drug response in medulloblastoma (MB) is poorly understood. To gain insights into the growth and dissemination behavior of the MB tumor cells under treatment, we combined three-dimensional cell culture s ...

Comedications Associated with Immune-related Adverse Events From Immune-checkpoint Inhibitors

Elise Hélène Dumas

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer treatment but are responsible for various immune-related adverse events (irAE). The impact of non-anticancer medications (comedications) on irAE occurrence remains largely unexplored. The object ...

Exploration and modulation of mechanical cues for enhanced cancer immunotherapy

Armand Kurum

The advent of immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and adoptive transfer of cytotoxic lymphocytes, has transformed the clinical care of cancer. However, a significant proportion of patients are resistant to immunotherapy or experience re ...

Translating p53-based therapies for cancer into the clinic

Xiaolei Zhou

Inactivation of the most important tumour suppressor gene TP53 occurs in most, if not all, human cancers. Loss of functional wild-type p53 is achieved via two main mechanisms: mutation of the gene leading to an absence of tumour suppressor activity and, in ...

The shape of cancer relapse: Topological data analysis predicts recurrence in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Bernadette Jana Stolz-Pretzer

Author summaryAcute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a blood cancer which affects predominantly children and adolescents. Therapy typically fails in approximately 20% of patients, who suffer from relapse. To determine disease status, clinicians assess cell ...

On the relevance of quality score metadata in genomic sequence data for omics applications

Ana Angelica Hernandez Lopez

High-throughput sequencing of DNA molecules has revolutionized biomedical research by enabling the quantitative analysis of the genome to study its function, structure and dynamics. It is driving sequencing-based experiments in life sciences as evidenced b ...

In vivo characterization of brain metabolism by 1 H MRS, 13 C MRS and 18 FDG PET reveals significant glucose oxidation of invasively growing glioma cells

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Bernard Lanz, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Marta Lai

Glioblastoma are notorious for their highly invasive growth, diffusely infiltrating adjacent brain structures that precludes complete resection, and is a major obstacle for cure. To characterize this "invisible" tumor part, we designed a high resolution mu ...

Microdevice-integrated immunoassays for Point-of-Care Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Elena-Diana Bojescu

A significant number of drugs exhibit narrow therapeutic windows and high inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. In such cases, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is compulsory in order to optimize the efficacy of the drug while avoiding adverse effe ...

Label-free identification of activated T lymphocytes through tridimensional microsensors on chip

Carlotta Guiducci, George Coukos, Alexandre Harari, Elena Bianchi, Enrico Tenaglia, Enrica Rollo

Label-free approaches to assess cell properties ideally suit the requirements of cell-based therapeutics, since they permit to characterize cells with minimal perturbation and manipulation, at the benefit of sample recovery and re-employment for treatment. ...

Targeting the tumor-draining lymph node with adjuvanted nanoparticles reshapes the anti-tumor immune response

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Efthymia Vokali

Accumulating evidence implicates the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) in tumor-induced immune escape, as it drains regulatory molecules and leukocytes from the tumor microenvironment. We asked whether targeted delivery of adjuvant to the TDLN, presumably a ...

Unraveling Patterns of Site-to-Site Synonymous Rates Variation and Associated Gene Properties of Protein Domains and Families

Slavica Dimitrieva Janeva

In protein-coding genes, synonymous mutations are often thought not to affect fitness and therefore are not subject to natural selection. Yet increasingly, cases of non-neutral evolution at certain synonymous sites were reported over the last decade. To ev ...

Models that include supercoiling of topological domains reproduce several known features of interphase chromosomes

Yannis Burnier, Julien Dorier, Fabrizio Benedetti

Understanding the structure of interphase chromosomes is essential to elucidate regulatory mechanisms of gene expression. During recent years, high-throughput DNA sequencing expanded the power of chromosome conformation capture (3C) methods that provide in ...
