Flow Cytometry Identifies Changes in Peripheral and Intrathecal Lymphocyte Patterns in CNS Autoimmune Disorders and Primary CNS Malignancies

Flow Cytometry Identifies Changes in Peripheral and Intrathecal Lymphocyte Patterns in CNS Autoimmune Disorders and Primary CNS Malignancies

New Insights into CNS Disease Immunology Mechanisms Revealed by Multidimensional Flow Cytometry In immunological research, understanding the immunopathological mechanisms of central nervous system (CNS) diseases is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment decisions. A study published in Journal of Neuroinflammation in 2024 used multidimensional fl...

Targeting a Chemo-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuit Reveals Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Pancreatic Cancer

Targeting Chemotherapy-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuitry for Therapeutic Potential in Pancreatic Cancer Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal cancer, with a five-year survival rate that remains extremely low. Over 80% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced, unresectable stage, where existin...

Epitope Editing Protects Hematopoietic Cells from CD123 Immunotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Epitope Prime Editing Shields Hematopoietic Cells from CD123 Immunotherapy: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Research Background and Problem Statement Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood disease characterized by the abnormal differentiation of myeloid hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Its incidenc...

The Landscape of Drug Sensitivity and Resistance in Sarcoma

Background Introduction This study explores the landscape of individual drug sensitivity and resistance in sarcoma patients. Sarcomas are a diverse group of tumors originating from mesenchymal tissue, including types such as osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma, mostly affecting young people. Although the annual incidence of sarcomas is relatively ...

Disruption of TGF-β signaling pathway is required to mediate effective killing of hepatocellular carcinoma by human iPSC-derived NK cells

Background Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 20%, and treatment options are extremely limited. Traditional targeted drug therapies, such as Sorafenib and other kinase inhibitors, have been used to treat HCC, but their efficacy is limited and diffi...

Metabolic Regulation of the Glioblastoma Stem Cell Epitranscriptome by Malate Dehydrogenase 2

Paper Report: The Role of MDH2 in Epitranscriptomic Metabolic Regulation of Glioblastoma Stem Cells Introduction and Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain malignant tumor in adults. GBM cells utilize a metabolic pathway known as the Warburg effect, which involves increased glucose uptake through aerobic glycolysi...
