Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be used for sensitive detection of minimal residual disease (MRD). However, the probability detecting ctDNA in settings low burden is limited by number mutations analyzed and plasma volume available. We a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) approach patients with urothelial carcinoma.

Cells are the basic units of all living matter which harness flow energy to drive processes life. While biochemical networks involved in transduction well-characterized, energetic costs and constraints for specific cellular remain largely unknown. In particular, what budgets cells? What limits flows impose on processes? Do cells operate near these limits, if so how do impact functions? Physics has provided many tools study nonequilibrium systems define physical but applying cell biology...

Autophagy is a conserved biological stress response in mammalian cells that responsible for clearing damaged proteins and organelles from the cytoplasm recycling their contents via lysosomal pathway. In cases of mild stress, autophagy acts as survival mechanism, while severe may switch to programmed cell death. Understanding decision process moves apoptosis important since abnormal regulation occurs many diseases, including cancer. To integrate existing knowledge about this into rigorous,...

Lack of understanding endocrine resistance remains one the major challenges for breast cancer researchers, clinicians, and patients. Current reductionist approaches to molecular signaling driving have offered mostly incremental progress over past 10 years. As field systems biology has begun mature, network modeling tools being developed applied therein offer a different way think about how regulation critical cellular functions are integrated. To gain novel insights, we first describe some...

Abstract Using a gelatin microbial transglutaminase (gelatin-mTG) cell culture platform tuned to exhibit stiffness spanning that of healthy and diseased glomeruli, we demonstrate kidney podocytes show marked sensitivity. Podocyte-specific markers are critical in the formation renal filtration barrier found be regulated association with stiffness-mediated cellular behaviors.

Understanding the origins of resistance to anti-oestrogen drugs is critical importance many breast cancer patients. Recent experiments show that knockdown GRP78, a key gene in unfolded protein response (UPR), can re-sensitize resistant cells anti-oestrogens, and overexpression GRP78 sensitive cause them become resistant. These results appear arise from operation interaction three cellular systems: UPR, autophagy apoptosis. To determine whether our current mechanistic understanding these...

Abstract One of the most critical challenges in managing complex diseases like COVID-19 is to establish an intelligent triage system that can optimize clinical decision-making at time a global pandemic. The presentation and patients’ characteristics are usually utilized identify those patients who need more care. However, evidence shows unmet determine accurate optimal biomarkers under condition crisis. Here we have presented machine learning approach find group indicators from blood tests...

Abstract Background: Early detection of recurrence and monitoring MRD post-surgery is critical for clinical decision-making to tailor adjuvant therapy. In early-stage NSCLC, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) especially challenging, requiring highly sensitive specific assays. Therefore, we used a WGS approach (MRDetect) ultra-sensitive ctDNA in NSCLC patients (pts) undergoing curative surgery. Methods: We conducted pilot study evaluate the MRDetect serial plasma samples (including pre-surgery,...
