Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has transformed the treatment landscape for hematological malignancies. However, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) remains a common and potentially severe toxicity, significantly affecting patient safety and requiring intensive clinical management. [...]

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses liver steatosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which can result in fibrosis and/or cirrhosis and increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The latest Clinical Practice Guidelines acknowledge the importance of systemic metabolic dysfunction as a driver of hepatic lipid accumulation and disease progression. [...]

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a dismal prognosis, and current therapies show limited efficacy. Ligands and receptors of the TIGIT axis were analyzed using multicolor flow cytometry of tumor and blood samples, IHC from primary tumors, and single-cell RNA-Seq from primary tumors and liver metastasis from patients with various stages of PDAC. [...]

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest solid malignancies, with the majority of cases typically diagnosed at an advanced, inoperable stage. Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the progression of PDAC; however, the underlying mechanisms, especially the interactions between lncRNAs and protein modifications, remain poorly understood.We initially screened for potential markers among pancreatic cancer-associated lncRNAs using public databases. [...]

Successful translation of promising preclinical findings into clinical application remains challenging. To address the rising concerns of failing clinical trials and the resulting economic, social, and ethical consequences, preclinical confirmatory studies have been proposed to generate sufficiently robust evidence for guiding the decision-making process. [...]

Targeted protein degradation is one of the fastest developing fields in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Despite significant development in assay technologies and inhibitor discovery, the development of PROTACs remains a challenging endeavor since rational design approaches remain widely elusive. [...]

Relapse remains a major barrier to survival in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Both activation of B-cell signaling pathways and increased glucose consumption have been linked to chemo-resistance and relapse risk. [...]

Deep learning-based cell segmentation and classification methods in digital pathology are critical for diagnostics but are hampered by models that require extensive annotated datasets, are computationally expensive, and lack adaptability to new cell types. This creates a significant bottleneck in research and clinical workflows. [...]

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor with no curative treatment, and lacks a comprehensive understanding of immune-tumor cell interactions within their spatial context. Our multi-omics approach, integrating single-nuclei RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and high-dimensional imaging, utilizes patient samples and an experimental murine DMG model to unveil two spatially distinct regions. [...]

Fatigue is a pervasive, debilitating symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that significantly impacts patients' overall health and quality of life. However, its underlying mechanisms and associations with physical, psychological, behavioral, and other health factors remain unclear. [...]
