Circulating tumor cells in metastatic breast cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors – a biomarker analysis of the ALICE and ICON trials

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
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.

The role of the immune system in brain metastasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Metastatic brain tumors are the most common brain tumors in adults. With numerous successful advancements in systemic treatment of most common cancer types, brain metastasis is becoming increasingly important in the overall prognosis of cancer patients ...

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

The Canadian collaborative project on genetic susceptibility to multiple sclerosis cohort population structure and disease etiology

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
BackgroundPrevious genetic and epidemiological studies have examined subpopulations from the Canadian Collaborative Project on Genetic Susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis (CCPGSMS) patient cohort, but an encompassing analysis of the study population has

RAG2 and XLF/Cernunnos interplay reveals a novel role for the RAG complex in DNA repair

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Antigen receptor diversity relies on careful DNA cleavage and repair. Here the authors identify a functional interplay between RAG2 and XLF during V(D)J recombination, revealing an important role for the RAG complex in repairing induced DNA double-strand

Monotonic and nonmonotonic immune responses in viral infection systems [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
In this paper, we study two-dimensional, three-dimensional monotonic and nonmonotonic immune responses in viral infection systems. Our results show that the viral infection systems with monotonic immune response has no bistability appear. However, the systems with nonmonotonic immune response has bistability appear under some conditions.

Coevolutionary immune system dynamics driving pathogen speciation

open access: yes, 2014
We introduce and analyze a within-host dynamical model of the coevolution between rapidly mutating pathogens and the adaptive immune response. Pathogen mutation and a homeostatic constraint on lymphocytes both play a role in allowing the development of ...

The immune system in chickens , [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 1974
The most sophisticated feature of the immune system expressed in vertebrates is recognition of foreign molecules by distinct types of immunocompetent cells. Birds are the first vertebrates in which a clear dichotomy of the lymphoid system has been established: 1. Thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes, the effector cells in cell-mediated (immunity and 2. Bursa-

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.
