  Data-driven grading of acute graft-versus-host disease

  Acute GVHD severity grading is based on target organ assessments. Here, the authors show that data-driven grading can identify 12 distinct grades with specific aGVHD phenotypes, which are associated with clinical outcomes, and that their method outperformed conventional gradings.

  A lncRNA signature associated with tumor immune heterogeneity predicts distant metastasis in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

  Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be used for the development of prognostic signatures to predict tumour metastasis. Here the authors identify an immune-associated nine-lncRNA signature for predicting metastasis in a multicentre cohort of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients.

  Somatic mutations in arachidonic acid metabolism pathway genes enhance oral cancer post-treatment disease-free survival

  Chemical inhibitors of the tumour-progression promoting arachidonic acid metabolism pathway prolong post-treatment survival of cancer patients. Here the authors analyse sequence variation in oral cancer patients and show that loss-of-function mutations in this pathway prolong survival.
