Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses the phrase "Wo Es war, soll Ich werden" from Freud's "New introductory lectures on psychoanalysis" and explores the complexities surrounding its interpretation over the years.
  • - The author aims to clarify the original meaning of this Freudian aphorism by peeling back layers of translation and interpretation, drawing on influences from figures like Lacan and intertextual references.
  • - The analysis emphasizes the importance of this phrase in the context of psychoanalysis and calls for ongoing reinterpretation, referring to it as a "Faustian Cogito" that encourages the continual evolution of psychoanalytic thought.

Article Synopsis
  • Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive form of cancer linked to a specific genetic factor called EWS-WT1, and treatment options have not improved significantly in over 20 years.
  • Researchers conducted a comprehensive drug sensitivity test on DSRCT cells and found that they respond well to PARP and ATR inhibitors, both alone and in combination, showcasing these treatments across various models.
  • The study reveals that the combination of these inhibitors causes significant DNA damage and activates immune responses, suggesting that targeting EWS-WT1 could be an effective strategy in treating DSRCT.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, aggressive sarcoma driven by the EWSR1::WT1 chimeric transcription factor. Despite this unique oncogenic driver, DSRCT displays a polyphenotypic differentiation of unknown causality. Using single-cell multi-omics on 12 samples from five patients, we find that DSRCT tumor cells cluster into consistent subpopulations with partially overlapping lineage- and metabolism-related transcriptional programs.

Background: Immunologic mechanism of action of allergoids remains poorly understood. Previous models of allergenicity and immunogenicity have yielded suboptimal knowledge of these immunotherapeutic vaccine products. Novel single-cell RNA sequencing technology offers a bridge to this gap in knowledge.

The unexpected Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa in 2014 involving the Zaire ebolavirus made clear that other regions outside Central Africa, its previously documented niche, were at risk of future epidemics. The complex transmission cycle and a lack of epidemiological data make mapping areas at risk of the disease challenging. We used a Geographic Information System-based multicriteria evaluation (GIS-MCE), a knowledge-based approach, to identify areas suitable for Ebola virus spillover to humans in regions of Guinea, Congo and Gabon where Ebola viruses already emerged.
