ARID1A orchestrates SWI/SNF-mediated sequential binding of transcription factors with ARID1A loss driving pre-memory B cell fate and lymphomagenesis

ARID1A Loss and B Cell Fate and Lymphoma Occurrence Background Introduction This paper investigates the critical role of ARID1A (AT-Rich Interactive Domain 1A) in B cell fate determination and lymphoma occurrence. ARID1A is an important subunit of the BRG1/Brahma-associated factors (BAF) complex, with mutations commonly found in various human malig...

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...
