Molecular Targets of Glucocorticoids that Elucidate Their Therapeutic Efficacy in Aggressive Lymphomas

Analysis of Molecular Targets of Glucocorticoids in the Treatment of Aggressive Lymphomas Academic Background Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for over 70 years in the treatment of hematological malignancies, but their mechanisms of action remain unclear. Clinically, glucocorticoids show significant efficacy in treating lymphomas but not in mye...

Identification of Hypoxic Macrophages in Glioblastoma with Therapeutic Potential for Vasculature Normalization

Identification of Hypoxic Macrophages in Glioblastoma with Therapeutic Potential for Vasculature Normalization

Identification of Therapeutic Potential of Hypoxic Macrophages in Glioblastoma Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in adults. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the major immune cell infiltrates in these tumors. These cells interact directly with ma...

SMARCA4 is a Haploinsufficient B Cell Lymphoma Tumor Suppressor that Fine-Tunes Centrocyte Cell Fate Decisions

Scientific Report: Study Reveals the Role of SMARCA4 in B Cell Lymphoma Background Introduction The germinal center (GC) plays a crucial role in the maturation and apoptosis of B cells. The GC reaction is a rapid and transient immune response structure that improves the affinity of B cells to specific antigens through somatic mutation and affinity ...

Mapping Functional to Morphological Variation Reveals the Basis of Regional Extracellular Matrix Subversion and Nerve Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer

The Biological Basis of Regional ECM Breakdown and Nerve Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive types of cancer, typically associated with a highly fibrotic stroma, which can account for about 90% of the tumor mass. Although morphological heterogeneity is not addressed in routi...
