Roche’s bid to build a better Piqray yields phase 3 breast cancer win, opening door to regulators
Roche’s pitch to reset the standard of care in a breast cancer population has cleared a late-phase hurdle. The drugmaker’s attempt to improve on Novartis’ Piqray and deliver a first-line PI3K inhibitor has yielded an improved progression-free survival (PFS) in phase 3, teeing up talks with regulatory authorities. The investigational…

PTEN-induced kinase 1 gene single-nucleotide variants as biomarkers in adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer: a retrospective study | BMC Gastroenterology
Tissue samples A total of 84 analytic samples from surgical or biopsy specimens were collected from 84 patients who underwent radical surgery for CRC at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center between January and December 2016. One case was excluded because the specimen was too small; therefore, we used a…
Alginate Beads as a Tool for Production of Human IPSCs
Introduction There are several promising applications for human-induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs), including cell replacement therapies, tissue engineering, and high-throughput toxicological and pharmacological screening.1 The scalable expansion and differentiation of IPSCs are demanding and inefficient; in particular, they commonly require the use of two-dimensional (2D) cultures.2 Data on stem cell…

A fungal sesquiterpene biosynthesis gene cluster critical for mutualist-pathogen transition in Colletotrichum tofieldiae
A Ct strain severely inhibits plant growth in a nutrient-dependent manner A Ct strain, Ct61, isolated from a wild A. thaliana population in Spain, promotes plant growth under low Pi conditions by transferring phosphorus to the host3. In addition to Ct61, five different Ct strains have been isolated from various…
From the cancer research bench to the vascular disease bedside
From penicillin to CRISPR, the greatest scientific discoveries often have the humblest origin stories. Who knew that a little fungal contamination or a bacterial defense system would revolutionize human health and medicine? Pau Castel, a cancer researcher at New York University, has experienced this serendipity in his own lab. When…
Failure of beta estimates to converge in DESeq2 despite noncollinearity and reasonable counts
Hello, I am running DESeq2 on a large number (n=166) of paired RNA-seq samples, but the estimate for beta is non-convergent for ~500 of 17.3k genes. I’m fairly familiar with general{ , ized} linear modeling, and I know that collinearity can produce so-called numerical instability during estimation of beta; as…

mitochondrial dna damage triggers an ifn mediated immune response
2.6 Mitochondrial Damage-Induced Mitochondrial DNA Release is Central to Chronic Kidney Disease-Induced Type-I-Interferon Response in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells DNA released from nuclear or mitochondria is the main source of endogenous DNA that activates cGAS-STING pathway. This is thought to be mediated by the presence 75 of leaked mitochondrial DNA…
