Highlights•A postmortem bedside surgical procedure was developed for COVID-19 and control patients•Ciliated cells are the main target cell type SARS-CoV-2 in respiratory mucosa•Sustentacular (non-neuronal) olfactory mucosa•No evidence infection of sensory neurons or bulb parenchymaSummaryAnosmia, loss smell, is a common often sole symptom COVID-19. The onset sequence pathobiological events leading to dysfunction remains obscure. Here, we have harvest endoscopically samples mucosae whole...
Context.— The number of neonates with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is increasing, and in a few there are reports intrauterine infection. Objective.— To characterize the placental pathology findings preselected cohort infected by transplacental transmission arising from maternal SARS-CoV-2, to identify risk factors for fetal Design.— Case-based retrospective analysis multinational group 19 perinatal specialists cohorts infants delivered mothers...
In melanoma, the lymphocytic infiltrate is a prognostic parameter classified morphologically into ‘brisk’, ‘non-brisk’ and ‘absent’ entailing functional association that has never been proved. Recently, it shown populations can be very heterogeneous, anti-PD-1 immunotherapy supports activated T cells. Here, we characterize immune landscape in primary melanoma by high-dimensional single-cell multiplex analysis tissue sections (MILAN technique) followed image analysis, RT-PCR shotgun...
Context.— SARS-CoV-2 can undergo maternal–fetal transmission, heightening interest in the placental pathology findings from this infection. Transplacental transmission is typically accompanied by chronic histiocytic intervillositis together with necrosis and positivity of syncytiotrophoblast for SARS-CoV-2. Hofbauer cells are macrophages that have been involved viral diseases, including HIV Zika virus, but their involvement unknown. Objective.— To determine whether extend beyond to enter...

Abstract Defective cell migration causes delayed wound healing (WH) and chronic skin lesions. Autologous micrograft (AMG) therapies have recently emerged as a new effective affordable treatment able to improve capacity. However, the precise molecular mechanism through which AMG exhibits its beneficial effects remains unrevealed. Herein we show that improves re-epithelialization by accelerating of fibroblasts keratinocytes. More specifically, AMG-treated wounds showed improvement...
Aims As important prognostic and predictive information can be obtained from the composition, functionality spatial arrangement of different immune cell subtypes, this study aims at characterizing infiltrate in breast tumours. Methods results Tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) 62 patients with luminal B‐like cancer were characterised by immunohistochemical staining standard markers, subsequently classified quantified use QuPath software. In delineated tumour regions, proportion density...
Abstract The low abundance of Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells in lymph node biopsies classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) complicates the analysis somatic genetic alterations HRS cells. As circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) contains tumor (ctDNA) from cells, we prospectively collected cfDNA 177 patients with newly diagnosed, mostly early-stage cHL a monocentric study at Leuven, Belgium (n = 59) and multicentric BREACH by Lymphoma Study Association 118). To catalog patterns frequencies genomic...
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas with poor prognosis. Up to 30% PTCL lack distinctive features and are classified as PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). To further improve our understanding the genetic landscape biology PTCL-NOS, we perform RNA-sequencing 18 cases validate results in an independent cohort 37 cases. We identify FYN-TRAF3IP2, KHDRBS1-LCK SIN3A-FOXO1 new in-frame fusion transcripts, FYN-TRAF3IP2 recurrent detected 8 55...
We performed a phase I-II trial of escalating doses cisplatin (CDDP: 50-100 mg/m2 per course) plus carboplatin (CBDCA: 300-400 as potential way in which to maximize platinum without causing excessive toxic effects patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Thirty-three nonoptimally debulked disease FIGO (International Federation Gynecology and Obstetrics) stages IIc-IV [median age: 60 yr; median WHO (World Health Organization) performance status: 2; no prior chemotherapy] received six courses...
Breast-implant associated (BIA) lymphoma is an infrequent type of cancer occurring in the fluid and fibrous capsule around a textured breast implant. Recently, both 2022 WHO 5th edition classification Haematological tumours (WHO HAEM5) International Consensus Classification Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms (22ICC), recognized implant-associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) as definitive entity, defined mature CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma, confined by capsule, implant setting.

The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors has dramatically changed the therapeutic landscape for patients with advanced melanoma. However, relatively low response rates and a high incidence severe immune-related adverse events have prompted search predictive biomarkers. A positive value been attributed to aberrant expression Human Leukocyte Antigen-DR (HLA-DR) by melanoma cells, but it remains unknown why this is case. In study, we examined microenvironment HLA-DR metastatic samples...
