AllergoOncology in Review: Harnessing Allergy in the Field of Oncology to Improve Patient Outcomes
ABSTRACT The AllergoOncology field brings together the study of allergic and cancer immune responses, having evolved from early epidemiological studies that reported inverse associations between allergies, IgE and cancer risk. Insights from studying allergic inflammation are revealing previously unappreciated immune mechanisms that confer protective ...

Unraveling Heterogeneity in Epithelial Cell Fates of the Mammary Gland and Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Fluidity in cell fate or heterogeneity in cell identity is an interesting cell biological phenomenon, which at the same time poses a significant obstacle for cancer therapy.

PAX8 expression in urothelial carcinoma was investigated in 101 consecutive transurethral resections of the urinary bladder. PAX8 was positive in 10% of cases, with targeted molecular testing of these cases revealing universal TERT promoter mutations and frequent alterations in TSC1, NOTCH1 and WT1. Aims PAX8 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is often used to

Proximal GATA-binding sites are essential for human HSD3B1 gene transcription in the placenta
The enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase (3β-HSD) is involved in the synthesis of active steroid hormones. Two human 3β-HSD isoforms are expressed in a tissue-specific pattern.

Isoprenoids determine Th1/Th2 fate in pathogenic T cells, providing a mechanism of modulation of autoimmunity by atorvastatin. [PDF]
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is a critical enzyme in the mevalonate pathway that regulates the biosynthesis of cholesterol as well as isoprenoids that mediate the membrane association of certain GTPases.

Asymmetric thymocyte death underlies the CD4:CD8 T-cell ratio in the adaptive immune system [PDF]
It has long been recognized that the T-cell compartment has more CD4 helper than CD8 cytotoxic T cells, and this is most evident looking at T-cell development in the thymus.

Molecular Testing in Sickle Cell Disease: From Newborn Screening to Transfusion Care
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most frequent monogenic diseases worldwide and a highly heterogeneous and complex disease. SCD care carries several challenges. This includes early and accurate diagnosis as well as optimal red blood cell transfusion matching in this population carrying a high risk of alloimmunization.
