Griseofulvin Radiosensitizes Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells and Activates cGAS.

Extra copies of centrosomes are frequently observed in cancer cells. To survive and proliferate, cancer cells have developed strategies to cluster extra-centrosomes to form bipolar mitotic spindles. The aim of this study was to investigate whether centrosome clustering (CC) inhibition (CCi) would preferentially radiosensitize non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Dynamical Systems Modeling of Early-Term Immune Reconstitution with Different Antithymocyte Globulin Administration Schedules in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Alloreactivity forms the basis of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), with donor-derived T cell response to recipient antigens mediating clinical responses either in part or entirely. These encompass the different manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infection risk, and disease response. While the latter is contingent on disease biology and thus may be less predictable, the former 2 manifestations are more likely to be directly proportional to the magnitude of donor-derived T cell recovery.

Spinal column shortening for secondary tethered cord syndrome: radiographic, clinical, patient-reported, and urodynamic short-term outcomes.

Objective: Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of pathological stretching of the spinal cord leading to progressive loss of neurological function. The gold standard treatment for TCS is a tethered cord release. However, detethering involves significant risks of spinal cord injury and high rates of retethering.

An incidental pure arterial malformation in a child: case report and review of the literature.

Purpose: Pure arterial malformations of the brain are rare vascular lesions.

Methods: We present a 10-year-old healthy boy who presented with an incidental finding of pure arterial malformation.

Results: Our case seems to represent the second description of pure arterial malformation discovered incidentally in a child.

A phase II randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study of salvage radiation therapy plus placebo versus SRT plus enzalutamide with high-risk PSA-recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (SALV-ENZA).

Background: In men with a rising PSA following radical prostatectomy, salvage radiation therapy (SRT) offers a second chance for cure. Hormonal therapy can be combined with SRT in order to increase prostate tumor control, albeit with associated higher rates of treatment side effects. This trial studies the effectiveness of SRT combined with hormonal therapy using a more potent anti-androgen with a favorable side effect profile.
