A neural epigenetic signature detectable via plasma analyses is prognostic in patients with glioblastoma, resembling an oligodendrocyte-progenitor- and neuronal-progenitor-cell-like state and showing increased neuro-to-glioma synapse formation.
A deep learning model is used to classify central nervous system tumors based on their DNA methylation profile directly from histopathology, and showed high accuracy in a large set of external validation cohorts, potentially informing downstream treatment.
Multi-omics profiling of the blood and heart of two human decedents receiving pig heart xenografts, including single-cell studies, reveals early immune responses and perioperative cardiac xenograft dysfunction in one of the two decedents, which may be due to mismatched heart size and/or insufficient immunosuppression.
In a randomized trial testing two types of catheter ablation treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation, a large-tip, dual pulsed field and radiofrequency catheter with a large footprint was non-inferior to a conventional radiofrequency catheter.
Data from a large randomized trial show that a personalized diet can improve cardiometabolic health, providing support for a ‘food as medicine’ concept that, although centuries old, still lacks robust evidence.
Findings from a multicenter study of 197,080 singleton live births in China show maternal hypertension as a mediator of the risks imposed by heat exposure between conception and 20 weeks of gestation on preterm birth and its various clinical subtypes.
In a retrospective study of individuals living with diabetes and obesity, conducted from 2008 through 2021, treatment with bariatric metabolic surgery was more effective than treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists for prevention of incident congestive heart failure.
In a prespecified interim analysis of the multicenter, randomized, phase 3 FLAMES trial, maintenance therapy with a PARP inhibitor in patients with ovarian cancer showed prolonged progression-free survival compared with placebo in all subgroups defined by BRCA or homologous recombination status.
Exploratory analyses of the DESTINY-Gastric01 trial show that baseline HER2-associated biomarkers in circulating tumor DNA or tissue samples were associated with therapeutic response in patients with HER2-positive tumors, and these analyses identify potential drivers of resistance.
Data from pediatric populations with neurodevelopmental disorders, obtained through a combinatorial strategy of literature review scoping and in-patient appointments, were used to construct a Phenomics Aggregation Database (PhenomAD-NDD) that can aid clinical diagnosis of comorbidities.
Cognitive variability with age has been examined in 21,051 recallable volunteers and has highlighted a potential role of microglia and glycogen metabolism in the individual differences in general cognitive ability.
Interim results from the low-dose cohort of the PROCLAIM trial show that AAV-based delivery of the progranulin gene in patients with frontotemporal dementia was safe and was associated with increased CSF progranulin.
Dapagliflozin improved a hierarchical composite outcome, including death, a worsening kidney disease event, and estimated glomerular filtration rate slope, compared with placebo, in patients with heart failure. This hierarchical outcome — analyzed with win statistics — might provide the statistical power to evaluate the effect of treatments on kidney function in heart failure trials.
In an era of expanding perioperative approaches for resectable non–small-cell lung cancer, new data demonstrate that dual neoadjuvant immunotherapy targeting PD-1 and LAG-3 is feasible; future analyses may enhance patient selection by identifying immune signatures predictive of response.
Enzymes produced by Akkermansia muciniphila generated group O blood by degrading A and B antigens, which could help solve blood donor shortages in the future.
A two-step, video-based deep learning model is developed to first screen for cardiac anomalies using noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging, followed by diagnosis of 11 types of cardiovascular disease using gadolinium enhancement-based imaging.
In a prospective observational study, symptoms of anxiety and/or depression were associated with worse response to first-line treatment with immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
Genome-wide analyses of vaccine antibody responses in 2,499 infants from Uganda, South Africa and Burkina Faso identify associations between specific HLA genes and response to eight vaccines, providing insights that could be considered for population-adjusted vaccine design strategies.
