[F]F-AraG Uptake in Vertebral Bone Marrow May Predict Survival in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Anti-PD-(L)1 Immunotherapy.

Despite the systemic impact of both cancer and the associated immune response, immuno-PET is predominantly centered on assessment of the immune milieu within the tumor microenvironment. The aim of this study was to assess the value of [F]F-AraG PET imaging as a noninvasive method for evaluation of system-wide immune status of patients with non-small cell lung cancer before starting immunotherapy. Eleven patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were imaged with [F]F-AraG before starting immunotherapy.

[F]F-AraG imaging reveals association between neuroinflammation and brown- and bone marrow adipose tissue.

Brown and brown-like adipose tissues have attracted significant attention for their role in metabolism and therapeutic potential in diabetes and obesity. Despite compelling evidence of an interplay between adipocytes and lymphocytes, the involvement of these tissues in immune responses remains largely unexplored. This study explicates a newfound connection between neuroinflammation and brown- and bone marrow adipose tissue.

Mitotic chromosomes scale to nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio and cell size in .

During the rapid and reductive cleavage divisions of early embryogenesis, subcellular structures such as the nucleus and mitotic spindle scale to decreasing cell size. Mitotic chromosomes also decrease in size during development, presumably to scale coordinately with mitotic spindles, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here we combine in vivo and in vitro approaches using eggs and embryos from the frog to show that mitotic chromosome scaling is mechanistically distinct from other forms of subcellular scaling.
