Targeting Triple NK Cell Suppression Mechanisms: A Comprehensive Review of Biomarkers in Pancreatic Cancer Therapy.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor outcomes due to frequent recurrence, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. A major contributor to this resistance is the tumor's ability to suppress natural killer (NK) cells, which are key players in the immune system's fight against cancer. In PDAC, the tumor microenvironment (TME) creates conditions that impair NK cell function, including reduced proliferation, weakened cytotoxicity, and limited tumor infiltration.

Effects of 8 Weeks of Moderate- or High-Volume Strength Training on Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca Handling in Elite Female and Male Rowers.

While acute exercise affects sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function, the impact of resistance training remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate SR Ca handling plasticity in response to moderate- and high-volume strength training in elite rowers. Twenty elite male (n = 12) and female (n = 8) rowers performed three weekly strength training sessions for 8 weeks and were randomly allocated to either perform 3 sets (3-SET) or progressive increase from 5 to 10 sets (10-SET) of 10 repetitions during the training period.

A Sensitive and Transparent Method for Tumor-Informed Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA in Ovarian Cancer Using Whole-Genome Sequencing.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a biomarker that could potentially improve the survival rate of ovarian cancer (OC), e.g., by monitoring treatment response and early relapse detection.

Molecular Composition and Kinetics of B Cells During Ibrutinib Treatment in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of B cells due to constitutive B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, leading to apoptosis resistance and increased proliferation. This study evaluates the effects of the Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib on the molecular composition, clonality, and kinetics of B cells during treatment in CLL patients. Employing a multi-omics approach of up to 3.
