Research on virus/receptor interactions has uncovered various mechanisms of antibody-mediated neutralization against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, understanding of neutralization by antibodies targeting the silent face, which recognize epitopes on glycan shields, remains limited, and their potential protective efficacy in vivo is not well understood. This study describes a silent face neutralizing antibody, 3711, which targets a non-supersite on the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein.

Background: Bone marrow is the leading site for metastasis from neuroblastoma and affects the prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma. However, the accurate diagnosis of bone marrow metastasis is limited by the high spatial and temporal heterogeneity of neuroblastoma. Radiomics analysis has been applied in various cancers to build accurate diagnostic models but has not yet been applied to bone marrow metastasis of neuroblastoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Platinum resistance makes it hard for patients with ovarian cancer to survive.
  • A protein called CLK2 is linked to cancer growth and is found more in ovarian cancer tissues, making the cancer more resistant to treatment.
  • Research shows that blocking CLK2 could help improve treatment effectiveness and overcome this resistance, especially for certain patients.

Causal relationship between 14 site-specific cancers and venous thromboembolism.

Cancer Innov

December 2022

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Structural Heart Disease, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute Guangzhou China.

Background: It has been observed that cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are associated, but anticancer therapy may violate the causality. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the causal relationship of various cancers to VTE using Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods: Three MR methods were used to estimate causal effects: Inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger and weighted median.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores the effectiveness of anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade in treating oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), emphasizing the need for reliable predictors to identify which patients will respond positively to the therapy.
  • The researchers analyzed biopsy samples and found that the RBPJL protein plays a crucial role in the tumor response to toripalimab, a type of anti-PD-1 therapy, and identified mutations that impacted treatment outcomes.
  • The study concludes that the RBPJL (p.P476S) mutation enhances tumor growth in ESCC and reduces the effectiveness of anti-PD-1 therapy, suggesting that RBPJL could serve as a new marker to predict treatment success.*
