Review helps understand the mechanisms of R-CHOP resistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer of lymphocytes, and a large proportion of patients are either unresponsive or develop resistance towards R-CHOP—the standard treatment regimen.

A sneak peek of the current state and future use of artificial intelligence in pathology

Artificial intelligence can already scan images of the eye to assess patients for diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of vision loss, and find evidence of strokes on brain CT scans.

New technology may lead to 3D-printed tissues and organs

It looks like science fiction: A machine dips into a shallow vat of translucent yellow goo and pulls out what becomes a life-sized hand.

Eight hallmarks of environmental exposures that contribute to disease

A new review of existing evidence proposes eight hallmarks of environmental exposures that chart the biological pathways through which pollutants contribute to disease: oxidative stress and inflammation, genomic alterations and mutations, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, endocrine disruption, altered intercellular communication, altered microbiome communities, and impaired nervous system function.

African American breast cancer survivors need to be better informed about CVD risk

African American breast cancer survivors are four times more likely to die from breast cancer than women of all other races and ethnicities, and they have a disproportionately high rate of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Research reveals gender disparities in COVID-19 clinical trial leadership

Less than one-third of COVID-19 clinical trials are led by women, which is half the proportion observed in non-COVID-19 trials, according to research led by Queen Mary University of London, University of St Andrews, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Researchers describe new approach for hematopoietic stem cell transplant in embryos

Most people have heard of stem cells, cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the architects of blood cell development and are responsible for blood cell formation throughout the life of an organism.

New evidence supports the use of antisense oligonucleotides as feasible therapeutic strategy for MDS

Many cognitive neurodevelopmental disorders are a result of too many or too few copies of certain genes or chromosomes.

SARS-CoV-2 can evade immune response by T-killer cells through mutations

The body's immune response plays a crucial role in the course of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition to antibodies, the so-called T-killer cells, are also responsible for detecting viruses in the body and eliminating them.

IQWiG's new threshold proven feasible in practice for early benefit assessments of drugs

Current examples prove the feasibility of the 15 percent threshold newly defined by IQWiG for the acceptance of responder analyses in early benefit assessments of drugs.

Researchers decipher how interspecies interactions arise, evolve and are maintained

Interspecies interactions are the foundation of ecosystems, from soil to ocean to the human gut. Among the many different types of interactions, syntrophy is a particularly important and mutually beneficial interspecies interaction where one partner provides a chemical or nutrient that is consumed by the other in exchange for a reward.

Proteomics analysis from aggressive human cancers can help identify potential therapeutic targets

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine show that analysis of the proteomics, or all the protein data, from aggressive human cancers is a useful approach to identify potential novel therapeutic targets.
