Functional and spatial proteomics profiling reveals intra- and intercellular signaling crosstalk in colorectal cancer.

Precision oncology approaches for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) continue to lag behind other solid cancers. Functional precision oncology-a strategy that is based on perturbing primary tumor cells from cancer patients-could provide a road forward to personalize treatment. We extend this paradigm to measuring proteome activity landscapes by acquiring quantitative phosphoproteomic data from patient-derived organoids (PDOs).

Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and BRCA-like status in stage III breast cancer patients randomised to adjuvant intensified platinum-based chemotherapy versus conventional chemotherapy.

Background: The prognostic value of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) differs by breast cancer (BC) subtype. The aim of this study was to evaluate TILs in stage III BC in the context of BRCA1/2-like phenotypes and association with outcome and benefit of intensified platinum-based chemotherapy.

Patients And Methods: Patients participated in a randomised controlled trial of adjuvant intensified platinum-based chemotherapy versus conventional anthracycline-based chemotherapy carried out between 1993 and 1999 in stage III BC.

Correction to: Molecular and pharmacological modulators of the tumor immune contexture revealed by deconvolution of RNA-seq data.

It was highlighted that the original article [1] contained a typesetting mistake in the name of Noel Filipe da Cunha Carvalho de Miranda. This was incorrectly captured as Noel Filipe da Cunha Carvahlo de Miranda. It was also highlighted that in Fig.

Molecular and pharmacological modulators of the tumor immune contexture revealed by deconvolution of RNA-seq data.

We introduce quanTIseq, a method to quantify the fractions of ten immune cell types from bulk RNA-sequencing data. quanTIseq was extensively validated in blood and tumor samples using simulated, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry data.quanTIseq analysis of 8000 tumor samples revealed that cytotoxic T cell infiltration is more strongly associated with the activation of the CXCR3/CXCL9 axis than with mutational load and that deconvolution-based cell scores have prognostic value in several solid cancers.

Machine vision application in animal trajectory tracking.

This article was motivated by the doctors' demand to make a technical support in pathologies of gastrointestinal tract research [10], which would be based on machine vision tools. Proposed solution should be less expensive alternative to already existing RF (radio frequency) methods. The objective of whole experiment was to evaluate the amount of animal motion dependent on degree of pathology (gastric ulcer).
