Immunological differences between monophasic and biphasic synovial sarcoma with implications for immunotherapy by S. J. Luk, M. E. IJsselsteijn, A. Somarakis, I. Acem, I. Briaire de Bruijn, K. Szuhai, J. V. M. G. Bovee, N. F. C. C. de Miranda, J. H. F. Falkenburg, M. H. M. Heemskerk

“…In these tumors, the immune and endothelial cells were mostly located within the stromal like, spindle cell compartment and excluded from the epithelial compartment, greatly resembling the spatial organization of healthy epithelium such as in the colon. Together these data demonstrate that biphasic synovial sarcoma is immunologically different from monophasic synovial sarcoma and might be more susceptible to immunotherapies such as adoptive T-cell therapy. …”

Polygenic prediction of human longevity on the supposition of pervasive pleiotropy by M. Reza Jabalameli, Jhih-Rong Lin, Quanwei Zhang, Zhen Wang, Joydeep Mitra, Nha Nguyen, Tina Gao, Mark Khusidman, Sanish Sathyan, Gil Atzmon, Sofiya Milman, Jan Vijg, Nir Barzilai, Zhengdong D. Zhang

“…Finally, using the proteomic correlates of iLGS, we identified protein markers associated with exceptional longevity irrespective of chronological age and prioritized drugs with repurposing potentials for gerotherapeutics. Together, our approach demonstrates a promising framework for polygenic modeling of additive liability conferred by ARTs in defining exceptional longevity and assisting the identification of individuals at a higher risk of mortality for targeted lifestyle modifications earlier in life. …”
