Dietary fructose enhances tumour growth indirectly via interorgan lipid transfer.

Fructose consumption has increased considerably over the past five decades, largely due to the widespread use of high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. It has been proposed that fructose promotes the growth of some tumours directly by serving as a fuel. Here we show that fructose supplementation enhances tumour growth in animal models of melanoma, breast cancer and cervical cancer without causing weight gain or insulin resistance.

Clinical Outcomes and Treatment Patterns in Adults With FLT3-ITD Acute Myeloid Leukemia Undergoing Allogeneic Hemopoietic Cell Transplantation in the United States and Canada.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is used to treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with internal tandem duplication of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene (FLT3-ITD). However, the effect of different characteristics on outcomes after transplant is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of patient, disease, and transplant characteristics on clinical outcomes and trends in maintenance therapy for patients with FLT3-ITD AML who underwent their first alloHCT.

FAIR data retrieval for sensitive clinical research data in Galaxy.

Background: In clinical research, data have to be accessible and reproducible, but the generated data are becoming larger and analysis complex. Here we propose a platform for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data access and creating reproducible findings. Standardized access to a major genomic repository, the European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA), has been achieved with API services like PyEGA3.

Consent Codes: Maintaining Consent in an Ever-expanding Open Science Ecosystem.

We previously proposed a structure for recording consent-based data use 'categories' and 'requirements' - Consent Codes - with a view to supporting maximum use and integration of genomic research datasets, and reducing uncertainty about permissible re-use of shared data. Here we discuss clarifications and subsequent updates to the Consent Codes (v4) based on new areas of application (e.g.

Beacon v2 and Beacon networks: A "lingua franca" for federated data discovery in biomedical genomics, and beyond.

Beacon is a basic data discovery protocol issued by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH). The main goal addressed by version 1 of the Beacon protocol was to test the feasibility of broadly sharing human genomic data, through providing simple "yes" or "no" responses to queries about the presence of a given variant in datasets hosted by Beacon providers. The popularity of this concept has fostered the design of a version 2, that better serves real-world requirements and addresses the needs of clinical genomics research and healthcare, as assessed by several contributing projects and organizations.
