Evaxion Biotech Expands Its EVX-03 DNA Vaccine Program Into Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Evaxion Biotech A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) (“Evaxion” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of AI-driven immunotherapies, today announced that it has selected EVX-03 as the product candidate within its DNA technology platform to target a new indication with…
Single-cell analyses define a continuum of cell state and composition changes in the malignant transformation of polyps to colorectal cancer
Mapping molecular changes across malignant transformation We generated single-cell data for 81 samples collected from eight FAP and seven non-FAP donors (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Tables 1 and 2). For each tissue, we performed matched scATAC-seq and snRNA-seq (10x Genomics). We obtained high-quality single-cell chromatin accessibility profiles for 447,829 cells…
Researchers use nanotechnology to destroy and prevent relapse of solid tumor cancers
Generation and characterization of DCNV-rAd-Ag. a, Generation of DCNVs derived from adenovirus-infected mature dendritic cells. (1) The genes of tumor-specific antigen were genetically engineered into the adenovirus vector. (2) Recombinant adenovirus infected the immature DC2.4 cells to express the modified antigen on the cell surface and stimulate it. (3) Differentiation,…

L-BFGS-B needs finite values of ‘fn’
Let me preface this with the admission that I am not an “expert” here by any means, which means I’m learning as I’m going. I have been tasked with the analysis of high dimensional (spectral) flow cytometry data with 32 parameters (time, six linear parameters (FSC and SSC) and 24…
Requirement of Xk and Vps13a for the P2X7-mediated phospholipid scrambling and cell lysis in mouse T cells
Significance The extracellular concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) reaches several hundred micromoles in the inflamed tissues or tumor environment. A high concentration of ATP activates P2X7, a purinergic receptor, and induces the formation of a nonselective cation channel, accompanied by reversible phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) exposure, leading to cell lysis. Here, we…
Glutamine synthetase licenses APC/C-mediated mitotic progression to drive cell growth

Identification of a four-gene signature & PTC.
Introduction Thyroid carcinoma (THCA) is the most common type of endocrine malignancy and its incidence is increasing.1 Based on its histopathological characteristics, thyroid carcinoma can be classified into multiple subtypes, such as papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma, and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.2 PTC is the most common subtype of…
A cell-based phenotypic library selection and screening approach for the de novo discovery of novel functional chimeric antigen receptors
Cell lines and culture Unless stated otherwise, all tumor target cell lines were sourced from the ATCC via LGC Standards. Human endogenous mesothelin (MSLN)-positive target cell lines H-226 (lung carcinoma, MSLN+, ATCC® CRL-5826™) and AsPC-1 (ATCC CRL-1682), and MSLN-negative Raji control cells (ATCC CCL-86) were cultured in RPMI-1640 Glutamax (Life Technologies,…
Identification of a regulatory pathway inhibiting adipogenesis via RSPO2
Integration of APC scRNA-seq data reveals heterogeneity of adipocyte progenitor cells In a previous study9, we defined Lin−Sca1+CD142+ APCs as adipogenesis regulatory (Areg) cells and demonstrated that these cells are both refractory toward adipogenesis and control adipocyte formation of APCs through paracrine signaling. In contrast, Merrick et. al.4 observed that Lin−CD142+ cells…
Characterization of Blood- Based Molecular Profiling in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Introduction Most cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are diagnosed in the metastatic or locally advanced stage. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States,1,2 with a 5-year overall survival (OS) around 10% in this country2 despite years of research and therapeutic development. For those patients…
Identification of lipid metabolism-associated gene signature
Background Female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer. Despite the dramatic improvement in breast cancer prognosis due to recent therapeutic advances, such as more effective adjuvant and neo-adjuvant chemotherapies, together with more radical and safer surgery, advances in early diagnosis and treatment over the…
Single-cell DNA and RNA sequencing reveals the dynamics of intra-tumor heterogeneity in a colorectal cancer model | BMC Biology
Organoid culture of small intestinal cells and lentiviral transduction C57BL/6J mice and BALB/cAnu/nu immune-deficient nude mice were purchased from CLEA Japan (Tokyo, Japan). The small intestine was harvested from wild-type male C57BL/6J mice at 3–5 weeks of age (Additional file 1: Figure S9A). Crypts were purified and dissociated into single cells,…
