Background: Adding pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody approved for treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to neoadjuvant (induction-) chemotherapy utilizing docetaxel and cisplatin (TP) followed by radiotherapy may improve outcome in larynx organ-preservation (LOP) that is investigated in the European Larynx-Organ preservation Study (ELOS). As biomarkers for response to TP and pembrolizumab +TP are missing but may include cytokines, this work aims on determining cytokines potentially linked to outcome as prognostic markers sufficient to predict and/or monitor response to successful LOP.
Methods: Collagenase IV digests were generated from 47 histopathological confirmed HNSCC tumor samples and seeded in 96-well plates containing pembrolizumab, docetaxel, cisplatin either solely or in binary or ternary combination.

Purpose: Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Furthermore, owing to its significant risk of recurrence or metastasis, the overall prognosis of patients with cervical cancer remains poor. Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, survival, and apoptosis, and has been implicated in the progression of various types of cancer.

Loss-of-function mutations induced by CRISPR-Cas9 in the TaGS3 gene homoeologs show non-additive dosage-dependent effects on grain size and weight and have potential utility for increasing grain yield in wheat. The grain size in cereals is one of the component traits contributing to yield. Previous studies showed that loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in GS3, encoding Gγ subunit of the multimeric G protein complex, increase grain size and weight in rice.

Aim: Co-existing primary aldosteronism (PA) and autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) has been recently recognized as a distinct entity. This study aimed to assess the incidence of ACS in patients with PA, and its impact on clinical and laboratory parameters.
Methods: Ninety-two patients diagnosed with PA were included.

Liver damage is one of the most severe side effects of valproic acid (VPA) therapy. Research indicates that PPAR-α prevents Wnt3a/β-catenin-induced PGC-1α dysregulation, which is linked to liver injury. Although PPAR-α activation has hepatoprotective effects, its role in preventing VPA-induced liver injury remains unclear.
