A 24-year-old woman presented to a physical therapy clinic reporting a 4-month history of constant left knee pain of insidious onset. In the setting of nonlocalized, nontraumatic chronic knee pain, the physical therapist ordered radiographs, which revealed an osteolytic lesion along the distal anterolateral femur, suggesting a giant cell tumor. The radiologist then recommended computed tomography for better appreciation of the lesion and magnetic resonance imaging to investigate any soft tissue abnormality.

Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (dTGCT) is a destructive but rare benign proliferative synovial neoplasm. Although surgery is currently the main treatment modality for dTGCT, the recurrence risk is up to 50%. Therefore, there is a great need for effective drugs against dTGCT with minor side effects.

is a fungal pathogen that can cause lethal disease in immunocompromised patients. Immunocompetent host immune responses, such as formation of pulmonary granulomas, control the infection and prevent disseminated disease. Little is known about the immunological conditions establishing the latent infection granuloma in the lungs.

The shape of biological matter is central to cell function at different length scales and determines how cellular components recognize, interact and respond to one another. However, their shapes are often transient and hard to reprogramme. Here we construct a synthetic cell model composed of signal-responsive DNA nanorafts, biogenic pores and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs).
