Currently, most neuroblastoma patients are treated according to the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) risk group assignment; however, neuroblastoma’s heterogeneity renders only a few predictors for treatment response, resulting in excessive treatment. Here, we sought to couple COG risk classification with tumor intracellular microbiome, which is part...

Reply to Schramm, L. Comment on “Li et al. BDP1 Variants I1264M and V1347M Significantly Associated with Clinical Outcomes of Pediatric Neuroblastoma Patients Imply a New Prognostic Biomarker: A 121-Patient Cancer Genome Study. Diagnostics 2021, 11, 2364”
Background: The mechanism of tumorigenicity potentially evolved in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remains elusive, resulting in inconsistent clinical application efficacy. We hypothesized that subclones in MSCs contribute to their tumorgenicity, and we approached MSC-subclones at the single-cell level. Methods: MSCs were cultured in an osteogenic di...
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have attracted substantial attention in various applications, including environmental remediation and nanomedicine. A detailed understanding of the toxicity of TiO2 NPs and the underlying mechanisms is fundamental to further development of their environmental and biomedical applications. Herein, we determin...

Background: Irradiation disrupts the vascular niche where hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside, causing delayed hematopoietic reconstruction. The subsequent recovery of sinusoidal vessels is key to vascular niche regeneration and a prerequisite for hematopoietic reconstruction. We hypothesize that resident bone marrow macrophages (BM-Mφs) are res...
Background:
Neuroblastoma (N.B.) is the most common tumor in children. The gene BDP1 (B Double Prime 1) plays a role in cancers but is less known in N.B. Thus, we conducted this study to investigate the value of BDP1 mutations in N.B.
Prognosis:
Methods:
A dataset of 121 NB patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas database was used to analyze BDP...

Developing ecological approaches for disease control is critical for future sustainable aquaculture development. White spot syndrome (WSS), caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), is the most severe disease in cultured shrimp production. Culturing specific pathogen-free (SPF) broodstock is an effective and widely used strategy for controlling W...
Background: Ectosomes are recognized as shedding from the plasma membranes into the extracellular
environment. Recent research has demonstrated that ectosomes are surrounded by phospholipid membranes
containing lipid rafts and caveolae. Some ectosomes contain cytokines in the lumen and have high levels
of phosphatidylserine exposed to the outer mem...

Purpose
Repairing the irradiation-induced osteogenic differentiation injury of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) is beneficial to recovering haematopoiesis injury in radiotherapy; however, its mechanism is elusive. Our study aimed to help meet the needs of understanding the effects of radiotherapy on BM-MSC osteogenic potential.

An increasing number of reports indicate that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an essential role in promoting tumorigenesis and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Using the MSC model system, this study analyzes the molecular pathway by which diffe...

Macrophages are widely distributed in tissues and function in homeostasis. During cancer development, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) dominatingly support disease progression and resistance to therapy by promoting tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immu-nosuppression, thereby making TAMs a target for tumor immunotherapy. Here, w...
Background The tumor microenvironment consists of both physical and chemical factors. Tissue elasticity is one physical factor contributing to the microenvironment of tumor cells. To test the importance of tissue elasticity in cell culture, primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) stem cells were cultured on soft polyacrylamide (PAA) hydrogel plates...

Common clinical options, currently, for necessary splenectomy are vaccinations and antibiotic prophylaxis. However, despite these two adjuncts, there still occur numerous cases of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection.

Due to the limited understanding of the characteristics of predator-pathogen-prey interactions, few attempts to use selective predation for controlling diseases in prey populations have been successful. The global pandemic of white spot syndrome (WSS), caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), causes devastating economic losses in farmed shrimp p...
The development of single-cell subclones, which can rapidly switch from dormant to dominant subclones, occur in the natural pathophysiology of multiple myeloma (MM) but is often "pressed" by the standard treatment of MM. These emerging subclones present a challenge, providing reservoirs for chemoresistant mutations. Technological advancement is req...

Background:
Radiation induces rapid bone loss and enhances bone resorption and adipogenesis, leading to an increased risk of bone fracture. There is still a lack of effective preventive or therapeutic method for irradiation-induced bone injury. Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) provides the crucial signal to induce osteoclast...
Allogenic stem-cell therapies benefit patients in the treatment of multiple diseases; however, the side effects of stem-cell therapies (SCT) derived from the concomitant use of immune suppression agents often include triggering infection diseases. Thus, analysis is required to improve the detection of pathogen infections in SCT. We develop a polyme...

Resistance to ionizing radiation (IR), which is a conventional treatment for osteosarcoma that cannot be resected, undermines the efficacy of this therapy. However, the mechanism by which IR induces radioresistance in osteosarcoma is not defined. Here, we report that CR6-interacting factor-1 (CRIF1) is highly expressed in osteosarcoma and undergoes...
in English, Spanish NP185, a neuronal-specific protein of 185 kDa, was first discovered when we prepared monoclonal anti-bodies (mAbs) against bovine brain clathrin coated vesicles. Two mAbs, 8G8 and 6G7, permitted us to characterize this protein both biochemically and in development (NP185 is expressed in a NGF-dependent manner in PC12 cells). The...
Splenectomy in an animal model requires a standardized technique utilizing best practice to avoid variability which can result in adverse impact to the animal resulting in flawed physiologic responses simply due to technique rather than to the studied variables. In the case of the spleen, often investigators are analyzing the animal immune or infla...
Radiation induces rapid bone loss and enhances bone resorption and RANKL expression. RANKL provides the crucial signal to induce osteoclast differentiation and plays an important role in bone resorption. However, the mechanisms of radiation-induced osteoporosis are not fully understood. Here, we show that Crif1 expression increases in bone marrow c...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains an incurable brain tumor.

Cytogenetic alterations form the basis for risk stratification for multiple myeloma (MM) and guide the selection of therapy; however, current pathology assays performed on bone marrow samples can produce false negatives due to the unpredictable distribution and rarity of MM cells.
