Background: The standard "7 + 3" induction results in 30% of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients not achieving complete remission (CR). We aimed to utilize the Olink platform to compare the bone marrow plasma proteomic profiles of newly diagnosed de novo AML patients who did and did not achieve CR following "7 + 3" induction treatment.

Methods: This prospective study included 43 untreated AML patients, stratified into CR (n = 29) and non-CR (n = 14) groups based on their response to "7 + 3" induction therapy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is closely linked to obesity, a condition that significantly impacts tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Although cetuximab, an EGFR-targeting monoclonal antibody, is a cornerstone in metastatic CRC treatment, resistance often emerges, leading to poor outcomes. This study investigated the role of drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells and their metabolic interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cetuximab resistance.

Metastasis is the leading cause of mortality in breast cancer, with lung metastasis being particularly detrimental. Identification of the processes determining metastatic organotropism could enable the development of approaches to prevent and treat breast cancer metastasis. Here, we found that lung-tropic and non-lung-tropic breast cancer cells differ in their response to sialic acids, affecting the sialylation of surface proteins.

Purpose: To develop an educational, interactive, ultra-high resolution, in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) neurography atlas for direct visualization of the brachial plexus and upper extremity.

Methods: A total of 16 adult volunteers without known peripheral neuropathy underwent magnetic resonance (MR) neurography of the brachial plexus and upper extremity. To improve vascular suppression, subjects received an intravenous infusion of ferumoxytol.

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display a variety of core and co-occurring difficulties in social, communication, everyday functioning, cognitive, motor, and language domains. Receiving a combination of services to accommodate needs of autistic individuals is essential for improving their future outcomes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced service access negatively impacted autistic children's outcomes.
