An Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technique for the Molecular Characterization of Intraprostatic Dynamic Contrast Enhancement

open access: yesMolecular Imaging, 2005
The biological characterization of an individual patient's tumor by noninvasive imaging will have an important role in cancer care and clinical research if the molecular processes that underlie the image data are known.

ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Children with cancer living in poverty experience worse survival and quality of life. Interventions connecting low‐income families to benefits (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] improve health outcomes; yet nearly 50% of SNAP‐eligible pediatric oncology families are unenrolled.

Admixture Mapping Reveals Candidate Regions for Methotrexate Neurotoxicity Susceptibility: A Reducing Disparities in Acute Leukemia Consortium Report

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...

High-density Lipoproteins and Apolipoprotein A-I: Potential New Players in the Prevention and Treatment of Lung Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) mediate reverse cholesterol transport out of cells. Furthermore, HDL has additional protective functions, which include anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and vasoprotective

Evaluating the Readability of Patient‐Facing Online Educational Materials for Pediatric Leukemia and Lymphoma

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Together, leukemia and lymphoma account for 38.7% of newly diagnosed pediatric cancer cases in the United States each year. Many caregivers utilize online resources to inform medical health decisions. Understanding the readability of these materials is critical to ensuring comprehensible patient education.

Secretory Phospholipase A2 in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Hospitalized for Vaso‐Occlusive Pain Episodes

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is an inflammatory mediator linked to acute chest syndrome (ACS) in sickle cell disease (SCD), a serious complication that can develop during an acute vaso‐occlusive pain episode (VOE). Plasma sPLA2 levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for predicting ACS onset.

Prevention of Irreversible Autoimmune Endocrinopathies in APECED with Ruxolitinib

open access: yesJournal of Human Immunity
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED/APS-1) is a monogenic disorder of failed central tolerance caused by deleterious variants in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene. Interferon-γ-driven inflammation in APECED underlies

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

HiIDDD: a high-throughput imaging pipeline for the quantitative detection of DNA damage in primary human immune cells

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
DNA damage is a prominent biomarker for numerous diseases, including cancer, as well as for the aging process. Detection of DNA damage routinely relies on traditional microscopy or cytometric methods.
