During the COVID-19 pandemic, genomics and bioinformatics have emerged as essential public health tools. The genomic data acquired using these methods have supported the global health response, facilitated the development of testing methods and allowed the timely tracking of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Yet the virtually unlimited potential for rapid generation and analysis of genomic data is also coupled with unique technical, scientific and organizational challenges. Here, we discuss the application of genomic and computational methods for efficient data-driven COVID-19 response, the advantages of the democratization of viral sequencing around the world and the challenges associated with viral genome data collection and processing.

Whole-slide histology images (WSIs) can exceed 100 k × 100 k pixels, making direct pixel-level segmentation infeasible and requiring patch-level classification as a practical alternative for downstream WSI segmentation. However, most approaches either treat patches independently, ignoring spatial and biological context, or rely on deep graph models prone to oversmoothing and loss of local tissue ...

Vamotinib (PF-114) is a 3rd -generation, ATP-competitive oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) active against wild-type and mutated BCR::ABL1 isoforms including BCR::ABL1T315I. We present final results of a phase-1 vamotinib dose-escalation study to identify maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) followed by expansion cohorts. 51 subjects with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) failing ≥ 1 2nd generation TKI or with BCR::ABL1T315I were ...

In the initial stage of our study, participants were shown Polunin’s pantomime 10,000-Meter Race (1981), in which he portrayed a runner growing increasingly exhausted through different stages of the race. In individual interviews, participants were asked about their impressions of the pantomime. Then an emergent turn in the research occurred. One of the participants found and sent ...

Glioblastomas are the most prevalent primary brain tumors and are associated with a dramatically poor prognosis. Despite an intensive treatment approach, including maximal surgical tumor removal followed by radio- and chemotherapy, the median survival for glioblastoma patients has remained around 18 months for decades. Glioblastoma is distinguished by its highly complex mechanisms of immune evasion ...

Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions. However, how imagery perspective influences corticospinal excitability across different effectors remains unclear. Using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we compared kinesthetic (KMI), first-person visual (VMI-1PP), and third-person visual (VMI-3PP) imagery of elbow flexion-extension ...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains one of the principal challenges in cancer chemotherapy, necessitating new strategies to restore drug efficacy. In this study we developed and characterize a redox-responsive nanoplatform based on trithiocyanuric acid and polyethylene glycol (TTCA-PEG NPs) as a potential tool to overcome MDR and provide a biocompatible delivery system for conventional antitumor drugs. ...

Introduction:
While self-referential attention is thought to enhance interoceptive sensitivity, its effect on cardiac modulation of corticospinal excitability remains unexplored. This pilot study investigated how viewing one’s own face (self-face processing) modulates the cardiac-phase coupling of motor output and whether this heart-brain coupling depends on interoceptive accuracy (heartbeat perception).
Methods:
In 15 healthy adults, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were ...

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), a transcriptionally driven pediatric malignancy, exhibits a remarkable clinical and biological heterogeneity. Two major subtypes, adrenergic and mesenchymal, are differentially governed by distinct subsets of transcription factors that constitute the core regulatory circuitry (CRC). The adrenergic subtype is often associated with MYCN amplification and is particularly aggressive and therapy-resistant, underscoring the need ...

The formation of drug resistance poses the ultimate threat in modern oncology. Targeted therapy lacks versatility, while conventional therapy is famous for its side effects. However, for the new therapeutics to address the challenge of drug resistance, such compounds should combine properties of both modalities. In this review, we argue that metal-based therapeutics are paramount ...

Copper–organic compounds are being investigated as antitumor candidates. Besides their efficacy as cytotoxic agents alone, the oxidative potential of electrochemical Cu2+-to-Cu1+ transition emerges as an attractive approach for elimination of tumor cells otherwise resistant to chemotherapy. To minimize side effects of the potent oxidative burst upon Cu(II) reduction, the metal cations should be delivered to the ...

The recalcitrance of tumors to photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been linked to PDT-induced activation of survival pathways in sublethally afflicted cancer cells that modulate cellular responses to oxidative stress and damage. Survival signaling manifests in regions of the tumor where the tumor cells are insufficiently photosensitized or subjected to inadequate fluence rates. The survival signaling ...
