Cerebrovascular regulation in patients with active tumors and an acute ischemic stroke: a retrospective analysis by Lehel-Barna Lakatos, Manuel Bolognese, Mareike Oesterreich, Martin Müller, Grzegorz Marek Karwacki

“…We hypothesized that cerebrovascular regulation in active tumor patients with a stroke is different from other patients with stroke who have no active tumor disease.MethodsWithin the first 72 h after the acute ischemic stroke, cerebral blood flow regulation was analyzed by means of transfer function analysis between middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and blood pressure with estimation of coherence, gain and phase in the very low (0.02–0.07 Hz), low (0.07–0.20 Hz) and high frequencies (0.20–0.5 Hz) in four stroke groups: active tumors, inactive tumors (untreated and in remission), hypertensive lacunar stroke (LS), and non-hypertensive embolic stroke (NHES).ResultsThe 4 groups did not differ regarding age, sex distribution, and brain infarct size on magnet resonance imaging Between the four stroke groups, phase was not different in any frequency range in both hemispheres. …”

Gasdermin E in glioblastoma –pyroptosis resistance and tumor-promoting functions by Ege Solel, Egil Brudvik, Lars Andreas Rømo Ystaas, Yahaya A. Yabo, Emma Rigg, Romi Roy Choudhury, Halala Sdik Saed, Dieter Henrik Heiland, Rolf Bjerkvig, Jubayer Hossain, Hrvoje Miletic

“…Gsdme knockout (KO) in mouse GB cells unexpectedly prolonged the survival of immunocompetent mice, demonstrating a tumor-promoting role of GSDME independent of its pyroptotic function. Analysis of the immune microenvironment revealed that Gsdme KO promoted infiltration of T cells, which was confirmed by spatial transcriptomic analysis of GB patient samples. …”
