ZIP10 as a potential therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukaemia.

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a haematopoietic malignancy that continues to demonstrate lapses in current treatment modalities as evidenced by therapy refractory disease, disease relapse and high rates of lethality. The influence of nutritional factors, including trace elements, on disease development and progression is not yet well understood. We utilized AML cell lines and patient samples to further investigate zinc homeostasis and the dependency of leukaemic cells on zinc.

PFS24 as a prognostic milestone in patients with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma.

High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has significantly improved overall survival (OS) in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). However, early identification of long-term survivors remains a challenge. Progression-free survival at 24 months (PFS24) has emerged as a key prognostic marker in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but its relevance in PCNSL is still unclear.

Late-onset telomere biology disorders in adults: clinical insights and treatment outcomes from a retrospective registry cohort.

Pathogenic germ line variants affecting proper telomere maintenance result in premature telomere shortening and cause telomere biology disorders (TBDs). Although classical dyskeratosis congenita in children is rather well defined, late-onset ("cryptic") TBDs remain underrecognized, resulting in underdiagnosis and inadequate treatment in affected adults. Here, we present a series of adult TBD cases collected through the German TBD reference center between 2014 and 2024.

Hepatocellular loss of mTOR aggravates tumor burden in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-related HCC.

Obesity and associated nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are on the rise globally. NASH became an important driver of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in recent years. Activation of the central metabolic regulator mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) is frequently observed in HCCs.

The potential of eHealth for cancer patients-does COVID-19 pandemic change the attitude towards use of telemedicine services?

Background: Internet penetration worldwide has increased rapidly over the recent years. With this growth, modern information and communication technologies (ICT) have become increasingly important. They do not only change daily life but also patient-physician interaction and health related information search, which can be summarized as electronic Health (eHealth).

A Newly Established Murine Cell Line as a Model for Hepatocellular Cancer in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has become a major risk factor for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) due to the worldwide increasing prevalence of obesity. However, the pathophysiology of NASH and its progression to HCC is incompletely understood. Thus, the aim of this study was to generate a model specific NASH-derived HCC cell line.
