Spatial profiling of chromatin accessibility in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples represent a vast, untapped resource for epigenomic research, yet molecular tools for deep analysis of these specimens remain limited. We introduce spatial FFPE-ATAC-seq, an approach for in situ profiling chromatin accessibility within archived tissues. This approach overcomes formalin-induced crosslinking challenges, allowing high-resolution mapping of chromatin landscapes while preserving tissue architecture.

Accurately resolving the composition of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes is pivotal for advancing cancer immunotherapy strategies. Despite the success of some clinical trials, applying these strategies remains limited due to the challenges in deciphering the immune microenvironment. In this study, we developed a streamlined, two-step workflow to address the complexity of bioinformatics processes involved in analyzing immune cell composition from transcriptomics data.

Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer but is typically cured with surgical excision when detected early. As an access point to medical care, primary care providers (PCP) play an integral role in early skin cancer detection. However, limited time for examinations and dermatologic training may present barriers to effective skin examination in the primary care setting.

Purine alkaloids were proven to have significant cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines via modulating several cellular pathways, leading to inhibition of cell proliferation and increasing cell death. The search for new potential cytotoxic compounds produced by natural eco-friendly means is of great importance. The microbial transformation of natural purine alkaloids, caffeine (Cf), theophylline (Tp), theobromine (Tb), and theacrine (Tc) via filamentous fungi was explored using Aspergillus versicolor (AUMC 4807), Aspergillus niger (NRRL 328), Cunninghamella echinulata (ATCC 1382), and Penicillium chrysogeneum (ATCC 9480).
