Caloric restriction (CR) slows biological aging and prolongs healthy lifespan in model organisms. Findings from the CALERIE randomized, controlled trial of long-term CR in healthy, nonobese humans broadly supports a similar pattern of effects in humans. To expand our understanding of the molecular pathways and biological processes underpinning CR effects in humans, we generated a series of genomic datasets from stored biospecimens collected from n = 218 participants during the trial.

Although a significant minority of recipients are women during their reproductive years, there is a paucity of data regarding pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women previously treated with CAR-T. This is important as maternal T cells are known to cross the placenta and into breastmilk during pregnancy and breastfeeding, respectively.

We explore the ability of methylation profiling to distinguish primary melanoma methylation classes and their associations with clinicopathologic characteristics and survival.
Materials And Methods: InterMEL is a retrospective case-control study that assembled primary cutaneous melanomas from American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition stage II and III patients diagnosed between 1998 and 2015 in the United States and Australia.
Caloric restriction (CR) slows biological aging and prolongs healthy lifespan in model organisms. Findings from CALERIE-2 - the first ever randomized, controlled trial of long-term CR in healthy, non-obese humans - broadly supports a similar pattern of effects in humans. To expand our understanding of the molecular pathways and biological processes underpinning CR effects in humans, we generated a series of genomic datasets from stored biospecimens collected from n=218 participants during the trial.
