Cuproptosis: an emerging member of the immunogenic cell death family

Cell death was long considered the terminal consequence of cellular stress or damage, and distinct cell death modalities were classified according to their molecular execution mechanisms rather than their immunological impact [ 1 , 2 ]. This reductionist view has progressively be...

Best practices to master robotic preparation of ready-to-administer systemic anticancer therapy in hospital pharmacies

Automated reconstitution or preparation of systemic anticancer therapy has gained traction in the past decade. Transitioning from traditional manual workflows to fully automated production offers multiple benefits: decreased pharmacy staff workload, reduced risk of repetitive str...

Paediatric therapeutic development workshop on osteosarcoma

The fourth Paediatric Therapeutic Development Workshop focused on osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone cancer in children and young adults. Current treatment of osteosarcoma comprises surgery and chemotherapy. Outcome has shown very little improvement over the last four dec...

TSPO: a conserved mitochondrial conduit linking cellular homeostasis to disease

Abstract The translocator protein (TSPO) is an evolutionarily conserved 18 kDa protein localised to the outer mitochondrial membrane and increasingly recognised as a multifunctional regulator of cellular homeostasis. Although initially identified as the peripheral benzodiazepine...

Prospective analysis of pre-diagnostic untargeted plasma metabolomics and risk of triple-negative breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 10–15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer, and its aetiology is poorly understood compared to other breast cancer subtypes. We applied untargeted metabolomics to identify novel biological pathways associated with TNBC risk and poten...

Surgical Morbidity and Short-Term Oncologic Status after Prophylactic-Intent Thyroidectomy in a Cohort of Children with MEN2 from the Multicenter GTE ENDOCAN-RENATEN Study

BACKGROUND: Children carrying germline RET mutations associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) are at high risk of developing medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Prophylactic-intent thyroidectomy is recommended during childhood to prevent progression to advanced d...

Accelerating Translation of NK Cell Therapies to the Clinic: A European Perspective

Adoptive immunotherapies have emerged as a promising strategy in the treatment of hematological malignancies. To date, seven chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell products have obtained market authorization in Europe for B-cell malignancies, where they have revolutionized treatm...
