Single cell spatial profiling of FFPE splenic tissue from a humanized mouse model of HIV infection.

Background: Latency remains a major obstacle to finding a cure for HIV despite the availability of antiretroviral therapy. Due to virus dormancy, limited biomarkers are available to identify latent HIV-infected cells. Profiling of individual HIV-infected cells is needed to explore potential latency biomarkers and to study the mechanisms of persistence that maintain the HIV reservoir.

CD37 in acute myeloid leukemia: a novel surface target for drug delivery.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common and lethal leukemia in adults. AML consists of many genetic subtypes, which limits broad applicability of targeted therapy. We discovered that the hematopoiesis-restricted tetraspanin CD37 is expressed on the majority of primary AML blasts and thus may represent a common therapeutic target for AML regardless of subtype.

Mutation Clonal Hierarchy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Mutations in protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 ( ) have been considered late acquired mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) development. To interrogate the ontogeny of mutations, we utilized single-cell DNA sequencing and identified that mutations can occur as initiating events in some AML patients when accompanied by strong oncogenic drivers, commonly mutations. The co-driver role of mutations was confirmed in a novel murine model that exhibits an AML phenotype with early expansion of a diverse set of variably differentiated myeloid cells that engrafted into immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice.

The association of payer type on genicular radiofrequency neurotomy treatment outcomes: Results of a cross-sectional study.

Background: Genicular radiofrequency neurotomy (GRFN) is an effective treatment for a subset of individuals with chronic knee pain. Previous studies demonstrate that Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries report worse outcomes following various interventional procedures compared with commercially insured patients.

Objective: Evaluate the association of payer type on GRFN treatment outcomes.

Suprascapular nerve peripheral nerve stimulation for malignancy-related pain: A case series.

Background: Blockade of the suprascapular nerve is an effective diagnostic tool in the workup and potential treatment of shoulder pain. For chronic shoulder pain, peripheral nerve stimulation has been shown to provide significant, sustained pain relief. However, no literature to date has described peripheral nerve stimulation for the treatment of oncologic shoulder pain.
