Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential is associated with increased risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis in a prospective study of a cardio-oncology cohort.

Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been shown to increase all-cause mortality and risk of cardiomyopathy in patients with solid malignancies. CHIP has also been shown to increase T cell activation in heart failure patients. It is unclear whether CHIP can affect the risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) myocarditis in patients with cancer treated with immunotherapy.

NAB2::STAT6 fusions and genome-wide DNA methylation profiling: Predictors of patient outcomes in meningeal solitary fibrous tumors.

Meningeal solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare and have a high frequency of local recurrence and distant metastasis. In a cohort of 126 patients (57 female, 69 male; mean age at surgery 53.0 years) with pathologically confirmed meningeal SFTs with extended clinical follow-up (median 9.

Individual variation in two types of advertisement calls of Pacific tree frogs, , and the implications for sexual selection and species recognition.

Anuran advertisement calls play a fundamental role in social interactions related to reproduction, like territory defense and mate attraction. As such, advertisement calls are often shaped by natural and sexual selection. Therefore, to understand the evolution, function, and mechanisms of signal production and perception, it is important to characterize sources and patterns of variation in call properties.

PDS5 proteins regulate the length of axial elements and telomere integrity during male mouse meiosis.

Cohesin cofactors regulate the loading, maintenance, and release of cohesin complexes from chromosomes during mitosis but little is known on their role during vertebrate meiosis. One such cofactor is PDS5, which exists as two paralogs in somatic and germline cells, PDS5A and PDS5B, with unclear functions. Here, we have analyzed their distribution and functions in mouse spermatocytes.

Large-scale proteomic analysis of Alzheimer's disease brain and cerebrospinal fluid reveals early changes in energy metabolism associated with microglia and astrocyte activation.

Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology remains incomplete. Here we used quantitative mass spectrometry and coexpression network analysis to conduct the largest proteomic study thus far on AD. A protein network module linked to sugar metabolism emerged as one of the modules most significantly associated with AD pathology and cognitive impairment.
