E2F1-induced autocrine IL-6 inflammatory loop mediates cancer-immune crosstalk that predicts T cell phenotype switching and therapeutic responsiveness.

Melanoma is a metastatic, drug-refractory cancer with the ability to evade immunosurveillance. Cancer immune evasion involves interaction between tumor intrinsic properties and the microenvironment. The transcription factor E2F1 is a key driver of tumor evolution and metastasis.

Proteome Adaptation to Cell Culture Medium and Serum.

Host-pathogen interactions are often studied in vitro using primary or immortal cell lines. This set-up avoids ethical problems of animal testing and has the additional advantage of lower costs. However, the influence of cell culture media on bacterial growth and metabolism is not considered or investigated in most cases.

Phylogenomic characterisation of a novel corynebacterial species pathogenic to animals.

The genus Corynebacterium includes species of biotechnological, medical and veterinary importance. An atypical C. ulcerans strain, W25, was recently isolated from a case of necrotizing lymphadenitis in a wild boar.

PRUNE is crucial for normal brain development and mutated in microcephaly with neurodevelopmental impairment.

PRUNE is a member of the DHH (Asp-His-His) phosphoesterase protein superfamily of molecules important for cell motility, and implicated in cancer progression. Here we investigated multiple families from Oman, India, Iran and Italy with individuals affected by a new autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental and degenerative disorder in which the cardinal features include primary microcephaly and profound global developmental delay. Our genetic studies identified biallelic mutations of PRUNE1 as responsible.

[Nurse-performed FAST ultrasound in the emergency department: a systematic review].

Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (commonly abbreviated as FAST) is considered for patients with blunt abdominal trauma as the gold standard for accident assessment in site. This method is increasingly used even by not radiologists professionals, as well as by nurses who works in emergency settings. This systematic review is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of ultrasound FAST performed by nurses in emergencies department.
