Listeria monocytogenes meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetent adult patient

Galicia Clínica, 2016
Listeria monocytogenes infections may lead to a severe and potentially lethal disease. This occurs mainly in risk groups (elderly, immunocompromised and newborns). Severe infections in people without any of these factors are rare.

Hmga2 is dispensable for pancreatic cancer development, metastasis, and therapy resistance. [PDF]

, 2018
Expression of the chromatin-associated protein HMGA2 correlates with progression, metastasis and therapy resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Hmga2 has also been identified as a marker of a transient subpopulation of PDAC cells that has

In Vivo CRISPR Screening Identifies the Glutamate Receptor GRIA2 as Promoting Peritoneal Metastasis of Gastric Cancer via Calcium‐Dependent β‐Catenin Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identified GRIA2 as a critical driver of gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis through in vivo CRISPR screening. Mechanistically, GRIA2‐mediated calcium influx inhibits GSK3β and activates Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, driven by glutamate from cancer‐associated fibroblasts.

Nocardia brasiliensis in diabetic foot abscess: A rare case report

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Nocardia species are saprophytic bacteria, present in soil and water, usually associated with pulmonary infection and occasionally with abscesses in other body sites in immunocompromised patients and immunocompetent individuals.

Nanomedicine Meets Immunotherapy: Advancing Adoptive Cell Therapy with Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Cancer with Sustainability Perspectives

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review surveys nanoparticle‐based strategies to enhance adoptive cell therapy, particularly CAR‐T cell approaches, in solid tumor treatment. It describes how nanoparticles can improve tumor immunogenicity and T‐cell infiltration while reducing toxicity, and how they enable in vivo CAR‐T cell generation.

Disseminated Nocardiosis in an Immunocompetent Adult : Diagnostic Challenges

Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2019
Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection seen in people with impaired host defenses usually cell mediated immunity. It can involve a single organ or present as disseminated infection affecting multiple organ systems.

GPX4 Inhibitor Resistance and Metastatic Features in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes breast cancer cell lines that are resistant to glutathione peroxidase 4 inhibitors (GPX4i) in vitro and investigates the metastatic capacity of the GPX4i‐resistant versus parental lines in vivo. GPX4i‐resistant cells survive upon intravenous injection, but lose capacity to spontaneously metastasize.

Cholesterol Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Brain Metastasis by Stabilizing EGFR Protein to Drive EMT, Metabolic Reprogramming, and Premetastatic Niche Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cholesterol is revealed as a multitasking fuel for lung adenocarcinoma brain metastasis: it locks EGFR at the membrane to sustain AKT/NF‐κB–driven glycolysis and EMT, loosens the blood–brain barrier by promoting Claudin‐5 loss, and rewires microglia through IL‐4R lipid‐raft–JAK1/STAT6 signaling.

A Murine Bispecific Antibody Efficiently Redirects T Cells Against Calr Mutated Stem Cells In Vivo

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Calreticulin (CALR) mutations are prevalent in 20%–30% of patients with BCR::ABL1‐negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Mutant calreticulin (mutCALR), presented by the thrombopoietin receptor (MPL, also known as TPOR or CD110) on the surface of the disease‐initiating MPN progenitors, represents an ideal target for curative ...

Immunocompetence in adults: more than HIV negative

Colombia Medica, 2016
I read a case report about Tuberculosis and fungal co-infection in a previously healthy patient published in Colomb Med (Cali) by Fontalvo et al., and I would like to address some related comments. Frequently clinicians report adult cases of patients with opportunistic infections as disseminated tuberculosis and/or fungal infections in patients ...
