The suppressor activity of the splenic cells in the cyclophosphamide (CP)-treated BALB/c mice with transplanted tumours was studied. CP was injected according to three different therapeutic effective schedules. The analysis of non-specific and antigen-specific tumour-associated suppressor activity in the splenic cell adoptive transfer system demonstrated that CP immunomodulating influence depends on the injection schedule. Usage of the most therapeutically effective CP injection schedule ensured a relative safety of the nonspecific tumour-associated suppressor activity and depression of the specific one.

Background: Dynamins are defined as a group of molecules with GTPase activity that play a role in the formation of endocytic vesicles and Golgi apparatus. Among them, DNM3 has gained recognition in oncology for its tumor suppressor role. Based on this, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the DNM3 gene in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer using bioinformatics databases.

Breast cancer represents the primary cause of death of women under 65 in developed countries, due to the acquisition of multiple drug resistance mechanisms. The PI3K/AKT pathway is one of the major regulating mechanisms altered during the development of endocrine resistance and inhibition of steps in this signalling pathway are adopted as a key strategy to overcome this issue. ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification catalysed by PARP enzymes that regulates essential cellular processes, often altered in diseases.

Cause of Death Analysis in a 9½-Year-Old with COVID-19 and Dravet Syndrome.

Pathophysiology

Division of Anatomical Pathology, Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Royal University Hospital, 103 Hospital Drive, Saskatoon, SK S7N 0W8, Canada.

: Cause of death analysis is fundamental to forensic pathology. We present the case of a 9½-year-old girl with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Dravet syndrome who died in her sleep with no evidence of motor seizure. She also had a lifelong history of recurrent pneumonias and, along with her family, had tested positive for COVID-19 10 days before death.

Multi-pathway oxidative stress amplification via controllably targeted nanomaterials for photoimmunotherapy of tumors.

Photoimmunotherapy, which combines phototherapy with immunotherapy, exhibits significantly improved therapeutic effects compared with mono-treatment regimens. However, its use is associated with drawbacks, such as insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and uneven photosensitizer distribution. To address these issues, we developed a controllable, targeted nanosystem that enhances oxidative stress through multiple pathways, achieving synergistic photothermal, photodynamic, and immunotherapy effects for tumor treatment.

Intrinsic p53 activation restricts gammaherpesvirus driven germinal center B cell expansion during latency establishment.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Dept. of Microbiology and Immunology, Center for Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Inflammatory Responses, and Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR, USA.

Gammaherpesviruses are DNA tumor viruses that establish lifelong latent infections in lymphocytes. For viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus and murine gammaherpesvirus 68, this is accomplished through a viral gene-expression program that promotes cellular proliferation and differentiation, especially of germinal center B cells. Intrinsic host mechanisms that control virus-driven cellular expansion are incompletely defined.
