Transplantation of mitochondria from human malignant tumor cells as a method of tumor growth formation in the lungs of laboratory animals by O. I. Kit, E. M. Frantsiyants, A. I. Shikhlyarova, I. V. Neskubina

“…Respiratory problems in mice with mitochondrial transplantation occurred between days 113 and 123, when a drop in body weight ≥ 25 % was observed. A uniform formation of tumor nodes together with an active filling of the lung space with blood was clearly visible on lung preparations of a Balb/c Nude male mouse after intravenous transplantation of mitochondria from the lung of a patient with non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. …”

Durable responders in advanced NSCLC with elevated TMB and treated with 1L immune checkpoint inhibitor: a real-world outcomes analysis by David P Carbone, David Spigel, Jeffrey S Ross, Karthikeyan Murugesan, Gerald Li, Richard S P Huang, Ryon P Graf, Geoffrey R Oxnard, Alexa Schrock, Liangliang Zhang, Khaled Tolba, Jacob Sands

“…In the low PD-L1 (TS <50%) cohort, TMB <20 muts/Mb showed a more favorable rwPFS (HR: 0.56 (95% CI: 0.40 to 0.79)) and rwOS (HR 0.74 (95% CI: 0.58 to 0.96)) on chemoICPI when compared with ICPI alone while the point estimate in rwPFS favored monoICPI in the TMB ≥20 muts/Mb cohort, the CI is wide and does not reach statistical significance (HR: 1.68 (95% CI: 0.52 to 5.48)).Conclusion This study provides evidence that higher TMB cut-offs, such as 20 muts/Mb, can identify patients with prolonged benefit from ICPI. …”
