This procedure is carried out via a full sternotomy using standard aortic and bicaval cannulations. For the aortic and pulmonary anastomoses, selective antegrade unilateral cerebral perfusion is used after cooling the body temperature to 26 °Celsius. A 12-mm Hancock conduit is interposed between the pulmonary artery and the proximal descending aorta using standard running suture techniques.

Cancer evolution is a multifaceted process leading to dysregulation of cellular expansion and differentiation through somatic mutations and epigenetic dysfunction. Clonal expansion and evolution is driven by cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic selective pressures, which can be captured with increasing resolution by single-cell and bulk DNA sequencing. Despite the extensive genomic alterations revealed in profiling studies, there remain limited experimental systems to model and perturb evolutionary processes.

Collective cell invasion underlies several biological processes such as wound healing, embryonic development, and cancerous invasion. Here, we investigate the impact of cell motility on invasion in epithelial monolayers and its coupling to cellular mechanical properties, such as cell-cell adhesion and cortex contractility. We develop a two-dimensional computational model for cells with active motility based on the cellular Potts model, which predicts that the cellular invasion speed is mainly determined by active cell motility and is independent of the biological and mechanical properties of the cells.

Group 3 MB subtype accounts for about 25% of MB diagnoses and is associated with the most unfavorable outcomes. Herein, we report that more than half of group 3 MB tumors express melanoma antigens (MAGEs), which are potential prognostic and therapeutic markers.
