    Enhancing adoptive cell therapy: future strategies for immune cell radioprotection in neuro-oncology

    Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown promising early signals of activity in treating select patients with brain tumors1. ACT is a type of immunotherapy that uses a patient’s own immune…

    Dose-escalation studies of mesenchymal stromal cell therapy for decompensated liver cirrhosis: phase Ia/Ib results and immune modulation insights

    Patient characteristics

    A total of 186 patients with DLC were screened from March 2022 to March 2024. The study comprised two stages (Phases Ia and Ib), as shown in Fig. 1. Phase Ia enrolled 15 patients who received MSC infusions following a…

  • Liquid-liquid phase separation of ZHX2 protects DLBCL cells against ferroptosis through induction of SLC3A2

    Liquid-liquid phase separation of ZHX2 protects DLBCL cells against ferroptosis through induction of SLC3A2

    ZHX2 is overexpressed in DLBCL and promotes DLBCL proliferation

    To clarify the characteristics of ZHX2 in DLBCL, immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed elevated expression in DLBCL (n = 60) compared to normal tonsils (n = 30; mean optical density…

    SOuLMuSiC, a novel tool for predicting the impact of mutations on protein solubility

    Prediction performances

    We tested the prediction performance of SOuLMuSiC on different datasets. We started with the training set \(\mathcal {D}_{Sol}\), and evaluated the performance in leave-one-out cross-validation at protein level. The…

    The transcription factor WRKY25 can act as redox switch to drive the expression of WRKY53 during leaf senescence in arabidopsis

    Transactivation potential with the WRKY53/WRKY25/WRKY18 subnetwork

    To gain further insight into the potential regulatory subnetwork formed by WRKY18, WRKY25, and WRKY53, we studied the interactions among these three WRKYs and their effects on each…
