Over the past decades, virus-like particle (VLP)-based gene therapy (GT) evolved as a promising approach to cure inherited diseases or cancer. Tremendous costs due to inefficient production processes remain one of the key challenges despite considerable efforts to improve titers. This review aims to link genome-scale metabolic models (GSMMs) to cell lines used for VLP synthesis for the first time. We summarize recent advances and challenges of GSMMs for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and provide an overview of potential cell lines used in GT. Although GSMMs in CHO cells led to significant improvements in growth rates and recombinant protein (RP)-production, no GSMM has been established for VLP production so far. To facilitate the generation of GSMM for these cell lines we further provide an overview of existing omics data and the highest production titers so far reported.

Correlates of Cetuximab Efficacy in Recurrent and Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Previously Treated With Immunotherapy.
JCO Precis Oncol

Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now first-line therapy for most patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC), and cetuximab is most often used as subsequent therapy. However, data describing cetuximab efficacy in the post-ICI setting are limited.
Methods: We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients with R/M HNSCC treated with cetuximab, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, after receiving an ICI.
Frontline treatment of follicular lymphoma: What will it take to change current practice?

Follicular lymphoma is the most common subtype of indolent lymphoma. Despite multiple trials over the past decade showing improved progression-free survival with new first-line therapeutic strategies -such as anti-CD20 maintenance therapy and new glycoengineered anti-CD20 antibodies- no standardized approach has been widely adopted in routine clinical practice. Several factors may explain this, including the increased incidence of infectious adverse events associated with these therapies, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the lack of overall survival benefit despite long-term follow-up.

Recent studies have demonstrated that chronic stress can enhance the development of multiple human diseases, including cancer. However, the role of chronic stress in esophageal carcinogenesis and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study uncovered that dysregulated cholesterol metabolism significantly promotes esophageal carcinogenesis under chronic stress conditions.

This study presents T-1-NBAB, a new compound derived from the natural xanthine alkaloid theobromine, aimed at inhibiting VEGFR-2, a crucial protein in angiogenesis. T-1-NBAB's potential to interacts with and inhibit the VEGFR-2 was indicated using in silico techniques like molecular docking, MD simulations, MM-GBSA, PLIP, essential dynamics, and bi-dimensional projection experiments. DFT experiments was utilized also to study the structural and electrostatic properties of T-1-NBAB.

Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in male worldwide. Stromal-epithelial interaction is thought to have a major impact on cancer development and progression. Previous studies have shown that interaction via soluble factors lead to a reduction in the expression of xCT and AL122023.
