Infrared laser sampling of low volumes combined with shotgun lipidomics reveals lipid markers in palatine tonsil carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) low‐volume sampling combined with shotgun lipidomics uncovers distinct lipidome alterations in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of the palatine tonsil. Several lipid species consistently differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, highlighting their potential as diagnostic markers.

Quantification of muscle fiber malformations using edge detection to investigate chronic muscle pressure ulcers

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
BackgroundMicroscopy of regenerated tissue shows different morphologies between the healing of acute wounds and chronic wounds. This difference can be seen manually by biologists, but computational methods are needed to automate the characterization of ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Minimally manipulated autologous cell therapy for pressure injury management in spinal cord injury: an in vitro seminal study

European Cells & Materials
Background: Pressure injuries (PIs) remain a formidable challenge in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) due to their reduced regenerative capacity. This study established an in vitro platform for a minimally manipulated autologous cell-based approach

Prediction of survival probabilities with Bayesian Decision Trees [PDF]

, 2013
Practitioners use Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) models for predicting the survival probability of an injured patient. The accuracy of TRISS predictions is acceptable for patients with up to three typical injuries, but unacceptable for patients

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...
