Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Outperform Other Populations in the New Hepatitis C Era
Long term results of HCC liver transplants (LTx) in the recent era of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) against hepatitis C (HCV) are not available. We aimed to examine the access, treatments and cure rates with DAA’s utilized in HCC LTx with HCV. Secondarily, we aimed to determine the long term impact of the Liver Cancer Program and DAA therapies on survival of HCC LTx.

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) caused by thymic aplasia due to a mutation in TBX1
We report one of the first cases of TBX1 haploinsufficiency causing complete thymic aplasia and SCID.

Assessing Microenvironment Immunogenicity Using Tumor Specimen Exomes: Co-detection of TcR-α/β V(D)J Recombinations Correlates with PD-1Expression
This is the first report of any unproductive recombinations in tumor specimen exome files, indicating opportunities to identify lymphocytes in the microenvironment that could have impacts on tumor development other than via antigen presentation to T-cells. Based on α/β relative recombination rates, α recombinations are more frequent. The association of detection of alpha-beta V(D)J recombinations, with high PD-1 RNA levels and high RNA levels representing antigen presenting functions.

Exploiting Polypharmacology in Precision Oncology: Identification of Differential Kinase Off-targets Among Clinical PARP Inhibitors
Can we use computational methods to identify previously unknown off-targets of PARP inhibitors that can explain their observed differences?

Immunotherapy on Chip: “Under the Microscope” Drug-induced Modulation of the Immune Response
The immune system is a striking example of an integrated information system, engaged in coordinated host-protective activities. Organs-on-chip approach (OOC) models allow the direct simultaneous observation of hundreds of different cells, moving, interacting and responding to signals coming from the microenvironment nearby, that give access to a number of parameters describing the system that must be properly measured and elaborated.
