RANKL/RANK/osteoprotegerin system as novel therapeutic target in the treatment of primary bone tumors and osteolytic metastases [PDF]
Primary bone tumors and cancers that metastasize to bone require osteoclastic activity to release tumor-supportive growth factors from bone tissue.

Exclusive development of T cell neoplasms in mice transplanted with bone marrow expressing activated Notch alleles [PDF]
Notch is a highly conserved transmembrane protein that is involved in cell fate decisions and is found in organisms ranging from Drosophila to humans. A human homologue of Notch, TAN1, was initially identified at the chromosomal breakpoint of a subset of

Pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with bulk extramedullary disease and chromosome 22 (EWSR1) rearrangement masquerading as Ewing sarcoma [PDF]
We report a 2-year-old female with a subcutaneous tumor who was initially misdiagnosed as suffering from Ewing sarcoma with a positive EWSR1 rearrangement and EWS/FLI1 transcript.

Development of the algorithm for differentiating bone metastases and trauma of the ribs in bone scintigraphy and demonstration of visual evidence of the algorithm -- Using only anterior bone scan view of thorax [PDF]
Background: Although there are many studies on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) models to medical imaging, there is no report of an AI model that determines the accumulation of ribs in bone metastases and trauma only using the anterior image of thorax of bone scintigraphy.

Quantifying Changes in the Spatial Structure of Trabecular Bone [PDF]
We apply recently introduced measures of complexity for the structural quantfication of distal tibial bone. For the first time, we are able to investigate the temporal structural alteration of trabecular bone. Based on four patients, we show how bone may alter due to temporal immobilisation.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Self-renewal of single mouse hematopoietic stem cells is reduced by JAK2V617F without compromising progenitor cell expansion [PDF]
Recent descriptions of significant heterogeneity in normal stem cells and cancers have altered our understanding of tumorigenesis, emphasizing the need to understand how single stem cells are subverted to cause tumors. Human myeloproliferative neoplasms (

Perspective: Speculative role of Tmp21 mediated protein secretory pathway during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced chronic inflammation [PDF]
By deploying myelofibrosis as the disease context, I wish to propose that increased availability of Tmp21 (an NFAT gene target) induces aberrant protein secretion from the ER contributing to pathological consequences, which has not been elucidated before.

In this explorative biomarker analysis, we assessed serial sampling of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with CellSearch in two randomized trials testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic breast cancer. Our data demonstrate a prognostic potential of CTCs, most apparent 4 weeks into ICI therapy.

Malignant neoplasms following bone marrow transplantation [PDF]
We undertook an analysis of 2,150 recipients of bone marrow transplant (BMT) at the University of Minnesota to determine the incidence of post- BMT malignant neoplasms (MNs). Fifty-one patients developed 53 MNs, compared with 4.3 expected from general population rates (standardized incidence ratio [SIR], 11.6, 95% confidence interval [CI], 8.2–14.5 ...
