- Monitoring tumor-derived cell-free DNA in patients with solid tumors: Clinical perspectives and research opportunities.
- Esposito A1, Bardelli A2, Criscitiello C1, Colombo N3, Gelao L1, Fumagalli L1, Minchella I1, Locatelli M1, Goldhirsch A4, Curigliano G5.Author information 1Division of Early Drug Development for Innovative Therapies, Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, Via Ripamonti 435, 20133 Milano, Italy.2Department of Oncology, University of Torino, Candiolo, Torino, Italy; IRCC Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment, Candiolo, Torino, Italy; FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology (IFOM), Milano, Italy.3Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, Via Ripamonti 435, 20133 Milano, Italy.4Breast Cancer Program Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, Via Ripamonti 435, 20133 Milano, Italy.5Division of Early Drug Development for Innovative Therapies, Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, Via Ripamonti 435, 20133 Milano, Italy. Electronic address: giuseppe.curigliano@ieo.it.AbstractCirculating cell-free DNA represents a non-invasive biomarker, as it can be isolated from human plasma, serum and other body fluids. Circulating tumor DNA shed from primary and metastatic cancers may allow the non-invasive analysis of the evolution of tumor genomes during treatment and disease progression through 'liquid biopsies'. The serial monitoring of tumor genotypes, which are instable and prone to changes under selection pressure, is becoming increasingly possible. The "liquid biopsy" provide novel biological insights into the process of metastasis and may elucidate signaling pathways involved in cell invasiveness and metastatic competence. This review will focus on the clinical utility of circulating cell free DNA in main solid tumors, including genetic and epigenetic alterations that can be detected.

- Naive T cells: The crux of cellular immune aging?
- Appay V1, Sauce D2.Author information 1Sorbonne Universités, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, CR7, Centre d'Immunologie et des Maladies Infectieuses (CIMI), F-75013, Paris, France. Electronic address: victor.appay@upmc.fr.2Sorbonne Universités, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, CR7, Centre d'Immunologie et des Maladies Infectieuses (CIMI), F-75013, Paris, France.AbstractWhen encountering foreign antigens, naïve T cells become activated and differentiate into effector and memory T cells. They represent therefore the primary source to mount an immune response against pathogens or tumors. Recent evidence of both quantitative and qualitative alterations of naïve T cells has accumulated in aged mice, indicating that the successful generation of primary T cell responses from the naïve T cell pool may be compromised with old age. However, the vast majority of the data supporting compromised naïve T cell priming efficacy with old age have been produced in animal models, and the situation is much less clear in humans. In the elderly, the involution of the thymus and the associated decline in thymic output result in a decreased number of naïve T cells, which is partially compensated by homeostatic proliferation. Emerging evidence suggest that alterations of the TCR repertoire diversity and intrinsic defects of old CD4+ naïve T cells may impact on their responsiveness to antigenic stimulation. Increasing focus on the study of naïve T cells (in particular CD8+) in old humans are needed to fill the gaps in our understanding of reduced cellular immunity with aging.

- A comparison on inclusive practices for children with special needs in faith-based kindergartens in Hong Kong.
- Lai YS1, Zhang KC.Author information 1St. Paul's College, Pokfulam, Hong Kong.AbstractThis qualitative study aimed to examine the inclusive practices implemented in three faith-based kindergartens in Hong Kong. A questionnaire was used to collect information about school backgrounds, students' special needs, teacher training, special education services, curriculum design, school policy, parental involvement, and challenges faced by these schools when implementing their inclusive practices. The primary focus of this study was the influence of faiths on the provision of inclusive services for children with special needs. The results indicated that faiths, along with other factors, have played a significant role in contributing to the inclusive education services provided to children in these schools.
