Copenhagen X Fischer F1 rats bearing palpable Dunning R3327 MAT-LyLu prostatic adenocarcinomas were treated by intraperitoneal (i.p.) or intratumor (i.t.) injection with either human serum albumin alone or in combination with recombinant tumor necrosis factor (rTNF). At intervals tumors were measured and survivals noted. A maximum tolerable dose and least toxic route of administration was then determined. Those treated i.t. with rTNF survived significantly longer and ultimately developed significantly smaller tumors than untreated controls. Those administered rTNF by the i.p. route had less significant increases in survival with intermediate final tumor sizes.

Proto-oncogene KRAS, GTPase (KRAS) is one of the most intensively studied oncogenes in cancer research. Although several mouse models allow for regulated expression of mutant KRAS, selective isolation and analysis of transforming or tumor cells that produce the KRAS oncogene remains a challenge. In our study, we present a knock-in model of oncogenic variant KRAS that enables the "activation" of KRAS expression together with production of red fluorescent protein tdTomato.

Purpose: The randomized GeparOla trial reported comparable pathological complete response (pCR) rates with neoadjuvant containing olaparib vs. carboplatin treatment. Here, we evaluate the association between functional homologous repair deficiency (HRD) by RAD51 foci and pCR, and the potential of improving patient selection by combining RAD51 and stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs).

It has become an important drug in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which do not respond to initial medical treatment. The case of a patient with ulcerative proctitis is presented, who developed acute pleuropericarditis, after starting treatment with Adalimumab.

An unbiased proteomic analysis of CSF samples from an open-label, phase-1b study (NCT03943264) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) was conducted to assess for pharmacodynamic activity and disease-specific target engagement.
Method: Patients with AD (n = 20) were treated for 12-weeks with one of three doses of XPro: 0.

Chemotherapy resistance is a great challenge in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC), so it is urgent to explore the prognostic markers of chemoresistance. PUF60 (Poly (U)-binding splicing factor 60) is a nucleic acid-binding protein that has been shown to regulate transcription and link to tumorigenesis in various cancers. However, its biological role and function in chemotherapy resistance of GC is unclear.
