Rees Cosgrove, Keith L. Ligon, Isabel Arrillaga-Romany, Jennifer L. Clarke, David A. Reardon, Timothy F. Cloughesy, Robert M. Prins, Patrick Y. Wen

“…However, we did not confirm a survival benefit to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in recurrent glioblastoma and our secondary endpoint of PFS-6 was 19.5% (95% CI: 9.29-41.2%) for the pooled neoadjuvant cohorts. Our new data suggests some patients may exhibit innate resistance to pre-surgical ICI and require other concomitant therapies to sensitize effectively.…”

Phylogeography of the woolly mammoth (<i>Mammuthus primigenius</i>) in the Minusinsk Depression of southern Siberia in the Late Pleistocene by S. A. Modina, M. A. Kusliy, D. G. Malikov, A. S. Molodtseva

“…The assignment of mammoth mitotypes in the Minusinsk Depression to different clusters within clade I may indicate a sufficiently high diversity of their gene pool. Phylogeographic reconstructions revealed a genetic proximity of mitochondrial lineages of Late Pleistocene mammoths of the Minusinsk Depression and other regions of eastern Siberia and estimated their divergence time in the range of 100–150 thousand years ago, which indicates active migrations of woolly mammoths over vast territories of eastern Siberia in the late Middle Pleistoceneearly Late Pleistocene.…”
