BACKGROUND: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an escalating global health issue, characterized by rising rates of morbidity and mortality annually. Consequently, further investigation of potential damage mechanisms and potential preventive strategies for PF...
BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer (BCa) is a common malignancy of the urinary tract. Due to the high heterogeneity of BCa, patients have poor prognosis and treatment outcomes. Immunotherapy has changed the clinical treatment landscape for many advanced mali...

There has been considerable progress in the development of computational methods for designing protein-protein interactions, but engineering high-affinity binders without extensive screening and maturation remains challenging. Here, we test a protein...
INTRODUCTION: Combination immunotherapy holds promise for improving survival in responsive glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in immune microenvironment (IME) is the most important predictive biomarker for immun...
INTRODUCTION: Small-molecule Programmable Cell Death Protein 1/Programmable Death-Ligand 1 (PD1/PDL1) inhibition via PDL1 dimerization has the potential to lead to inexpensive drugs with better cancer patient outcomes and milder side effects. However...
UNLABELLED: Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) IHC is the most commonly used biomarker for immunotherapy response. However, quantification of PD-L1 status in pathology slides is challenging. Neither manual quantification nor a computer-based mimicking...
BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy has significantly improved survival of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) patients, however the clinical benefit was limited to only a small portion of patients. This study aimed to perform a deep learning signature base...
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is currently used in the clinic to assess eligibility for immune-checkpoint inhibitors via the tumor proportion score (TPS), but its efficacy is limited by high interobserver variability. Multiple papers h...

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and aggressive, yet understudied, urothelial carcinoma (UC). The more frequent UC of the bladder comprises several molecular subtypes, associated with different targeted therapies and overlapping with...
AIMS: Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have shown promising clinical outcomes in urothelial carcinoma (UC). The combined positive score (CPS) quantifies PD-L1 22C3 expression in UC, but it can vary between path...
