Tumor-driven immune suppression is a major barrier to successful immunotherapy in ovarian carcinomas (OvCa). Among various mechanisms responsible for suppression, arginase-1 (ARG1)-carrying small extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerge as important contributors tumor growth and escape from the host system. Here, we report that EVs found ascites plasma of OvCa patients contain ARG1. suppress proliferation CD4+ CD8+ T-cells vitro vivo mouse models. In mice, ARG1-containing are transported draining...

Abstract During the diagnostic workup of lung adenocarcinomas (LAC), pathologists evaluate distinct histological tumor growth patterns. The percentage each pattern on multiple slides bears prognostic significance. To assist with quantification patterns, we constructed a pipeline equipped convolutional neural network (CNN) and soft-voting as decision function to recognize solid, micropapillary, acinar, cribriform non-tumor areas. Slides primary LAC were obtained from Cedars-Sinai Medical...

β-catenin is the key protein in WNT signalling pathway and it forms adherent junctions together with E-cadherin. In ovarian carcinoma, abnormal expression of β-catenin, E-cadherin WNT-1 was observed, but their prognostic predictive role unclear. The aim this study to clarify E-cadherin, advanced epithelial carcinoma (AEOC). determined by immunohistochemistry AEOC. correlation between these proteins progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) evaluated. Statistical analyses included...

The aim of the study was to determine prognostic value expression levels biomarkers selected on basis literature: p53, Ki-67, survivin, β-catenin, E-cadherin and N-cadherin in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Immunohistochemistry performed sections primary papillary carcinoma removed during transurethral resection tumor 134 patients. β-catenin found all analyzed cases demonstrated 3.73% tissues examined. p53 protein confirmed 96.27% Ki-67 cases. Survivin 95.52% group....

Ovarian cancer has one of the highest death/incidence rates and is commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage. In recent WHO classification, new histotypes were classified which respond differently to chemotherapy. The e-standardized synoptic pathology reports offer clinicians essential reliable information. aim our project was develop e-template for standardized reporting ovarian carcinoma [based on checklist College American Pathologists (CAP) WHO/FIGO classification] introduce a uniform...

New scaffold materials composed of biodegradable components are great interest in regenerative medicine. These should be: stable, nontoxic, and biodegrade slowly steadily, allowing the stable release biologically active substances. We analyzed peptide-polysaccharide conjugates derived from peptides containing RGD motif (H-RGDS-OH (1), H-GRGDS-NH2 (2), cyclo(RGDfC) (3)) polysaccharides as scaffolds to select most appropriate biomaterials for application Based on results MTT Ki-67 assays, we...
