Despite achieving high rates of complete remission with RCHOP immuno-chemotherapy, almost all patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) will experience multiple relapses after treatment. The lack of experimental model of FL limits our understanding of heterogeneity in treatment response. Here we characterized a new model of FL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) in avian embryos. Based on 20 biopsies, we observed that tumor volume reduction upon RCHOP treatment predicted progression free survival in multivariate analysis. To further explore the model, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing and discovered a signature of 21 genes upregulated after RCHOP exposure, with significant intratumoral heterogeneity. Among these genes, we functionally validated as a critical effector of RCHOP which can be targeted with venetoclax and . Overall, the FL-AVI-PDX model is a platform for functional precision oncology in FL, which captures both interpatient and intratumoral heterogeneity, and opens an avenue for drug development.

Diatomic catalysts enhance photocatalytic CO reduction through synergistic effects. However, precisely regulating the distance between two catalytic centers to achieve synergistic catalysis poses significant challenges. In this study, a series of one-dimensional (1D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are designed with adjustable micropores to facilitate efficient CO photoreduction.

Background: The regulatory role of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele in the clinical manifestations of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the APOE ε4 allele on cognitive and motor functions in SCA3 patients.
Methods: This study included 281 unrelated SCA3 patients and 182 controls.

Precision medicine in less-defined subtype diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains a challenge due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways are crucial in the advancement of lymphoma and serve as significant prognostic markers for individuals afflicted with lymphoid cancers. To identify robust prognostic biomarkers that can guide personalized management for less-defined subtype DLBCL patients, we integrated multi-omics data derived from 339 standard R-CHOP-treated patients diagnosed with less-defined subtype DLBCL from three independent cohorts.

Background: INTER- and INTRAmuscular fat (IMF) is elevated in high metabolic states and can promote inflammation. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excels in depicting IMF, the lack of reproducible tools prevents the ability to measure change and track intervention success.
Methods: We detail an open-source fully-automated iterative threshold-seeking algorithm (ITSA) for segmenting IMF from T1-weighted MRI of the calf and thigh within three cohorts (CaMos Hamilton (N = 54), AMBERS (N = 280), OAI (N = 105)) selecting adults 45-85 years of age.
