scRiskCell is an interpretable intelligent computational framework that leverages nearly 500,000 islet cell expression profiles from 106 donors across different continuous disease states. By calculating the intrinsic relationship between donor disease states and cell expression profiles, it assigns a pseudo-cell state index to each cell. Sorting the pseudo-indexes of cells enables the identification of risk cells truly disrupted by the disease. Importantly, scRiskCell reveals the dynamic aggregation pattern of risk cells during disease progression, providing mechanistic insights for early disease prediction and clinical dynamic monitoring of disease progression.

We previously used a disease-specific B cell receptor (BCR) point mutation (IGLV3-21R110) for selective targeting of a high-risk subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Since CLL is a disease of the elderly and a significant fraction of patients is not able to physically tolerate CAR T cell treatment, we explored bispecific antibodies as an alternative for precision targeting of this tumor mutation. Heterodimeric IgG1-based antibodies consisting of a fragment crystallizable region (Fc) attached to both an anti-IGLV3-21R110 Fab and an anti-CD3 (UCHT1) single chain variable fragment (R110-bsAb) selectively killed cell lines engineered to express high levels of the neoepitope as well as primary CLL cells using healthy donor and CLL patient-derived T cells as effectors.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disease that leads to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells and thus requires lifelong insulin therapy. Constraints and adverse events associated to insulin therapy are well known as well as the risk of long-term complications linked to chronic hyperglycaemia. Symptomatic T1D is preceded by a preclinical asymptomatic period, which is characterized by the presence of at least two auto-antibodies against beta cell without disturbances of blood glucose control (stage 1) or, in addition to immunological biomarkers, by the presence of mild dysglycaemia reflecting a defect of early insulin secretion (stage 2).

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is defined as a localized dilation of the abdominal aorta measuring at least 1.5 times its normal diameter. If left untreated, AAA can progress to a life-threatening condition.

Purpose: Hormonal contraceptives are linked to a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms. Given their popularity in Western countries, understanding the biochemical effects on neuronal cells is crucial to minimizing mental health risks.
Experimental Design: Neural progenitor cells were treated with ethinyl estradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG), two synthetic sex hormones commonly used in oral contraception, and S-23, a selective androgen receptor modulator developed as a potential synthetic sex hormone for male hormonal contraception.

Osteoporotic hip fractures are a considerable cause of pain and disability particularly among the elderly. Osteoporosis causes loss of bone stability, which in turn leads to an increased risk of fractures especially in metaphyseal bone. Moreover, the body's capacity for healing is diminished, resulting in prolonged recovery times following these fractures.
