B cells are associated with survival and immunotherapy response in sarcoma
Soft-tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of cancer, with more than 50 histological subtypes1,2. The clinical presentation of patients with different subtypes is often atypical, and responses to therapies such as immune checkpoint blockade ...

Contribution of PDGFRα-positive cells in maintenance and injury responses in mouse large vessels
The maladaptive remodeling of vessel walls with neointima formation is a common feature of proliferative vascular diseases. It has been proposed that neointima formation is caused by the dedifferentiation of mature smooth muscle cells (SMCs).

Prediction of long term stability by extrapolation [PDF]
This paper studies the possibility of using the survival function to predict long term stability by extrapolation. The survival function is a function of the initial coordinates and is the number of turns a particle will survive for a given set of ...

Program MARK: survival estimation from populations of marked animals
MARK provides parameter estimates from marked animals when they are re-encountered at a later time as dead recoveries, or live recaptures or re-sightings. The time intervals between re-encounters do not have to be equal.

A gene-expression signature as a predictor of survival in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND A more accurate means of prognostication in breast cancer will improve the selection of patients for adjuvant systemic therapy. METHODS Using microarray analysis to evaluate our previously established 70-gene prognosis profile, we classified

Changes over time in socioeconomic inequalities in breast and rectal cancer survival in England and Wales during a 32-year period (1973-2004): the potential role of health care. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic inequalities in cancer survival are well documented but they vary for different cancers and over time. Reasons for these differences are poorly understood.

Overall Survival with Durvalumab after Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III NSCLC
BACKGROUND An earlier analysis in this phase 3 trial showed that durvalumab significantly prolonged progression‐free survival, as compared with placebo, among patients with stage III, unresectable non–small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who did not have ...
