The induction of EAE in Lewis rats by basic protein (BP) is suppressed by the transfer of non-draining lymphnode cells from cured animals. The activation of draining lymphnode cells of these cured animals by BP, PHA or ConA is decreased with the addition of non-draining lymph node cells from the same rats.

Purpose: Management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with inferior vena cava (IVC) extension is one of the greatest challenges in urology. The gold standard treatment includes extracorporeal circulation and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). However, this surgical treatment has an impact on survival and prognosis.

A major reason for the failure of the immune system to detect tumor antigens (TAs) is the insufficient uptake, processing, and presentation of TAs by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The immunogenicity of TAs in the individual patient can be markedly increased by the in situ targeting of tumor cells for robust uptake by APCs, without the need to identify and characterize the TAs. This is feasible by the intra-tumoral injection of α-gal micelles comprised of glycolipids presenting the carbohydrate-antigen "α-gal epitope" (Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R).

The role of periostin (POSTN) in remodeling the microenvironment surrounding solid tumors and its effect on the tumor cells in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) have not yet been fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between POSTN expression (in tumor cells [NSCLC cells] and the tumor stroma) and pro-angiogenic factors (CD31, CD34, CD105, and VEGF-A) and microvascular density (MVD) in NSCLC. In addition, these associations were analyzed in individual histological subtypes of NSCLC (SCC, AC, and LCC) and their correlations with clinicopathological factors and prognosis were examined.

An artificial intelligence-based model exploiting H&E images to predict recurrence in negative sentinel lymph-node melanoma patients.

J Transl Med

September 2024

Laboratorio di Biostatistica e Bioinformatica, I.R.C.C.S. Istituto Tumori 'Giovanni Paolo II', Bari, Italy.

Background: Risk stratification and treatment benefit prediction models are urgent to improve negative sentinel lymph node (SLN-) melanoma patient selection, thus avoiding costly and toxic treatments in patients at low risk of recurrence. To this end, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) could help clinicians to better calculate the recurrence risk and choose whether to perform adjuvant therapy.

Methods: We made use of AI to predict recurrence-free status (RFS) within 2-years from diagnosis in 94 SLN- melanoma patients.

Mapping the intricacies of GLI1 in hedgehog signaling: A combined bioinformatics and clinical analysis in Head & Neck cancer in Western India.

Curr Probl Cancer

December 2024

Junior Research Fellow, Molecular Diagnostic and Research Lab-3, Department of Cancer Biology, The Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Electronic address:

Background: Activation of various cancer stem cell pathways are thought to be responsible for treatment failure and loco-regional recurrence in Head and Neck cancer. Hedgehog signaling, a major cancer stem signaling pathway plays a major role in relapse of disease. GLI1, a transcription activator, plays an important role in canonical/non-canonical activation of Hedgehog signaling.
