Decoding Radiation-Induced Fibrosis: a computational approach to understanding the damage pathway
Computational modeling of radiation-induced lung fibrosis via the agent-based paradigm provides valuable insights into the initiation and progression of toxicity.
A potential patient stratification biomarker for Parkinson's disease based on LRRK2-mediated cellular alterations in peripheral blood
A recent study substantiates a role for increased LRRK2 kinase activity in some idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients and suggests that blood-based patient stratification approaches hold promise in nominating patients who may benefit from LRRK2-related therapeutics.
A call for individual risk stratification on early morbidity and mortality in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Behind the paper of „Predictors of early morbidity and mortality in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: data from five randomized, controlled, phase III trials in 3700 patients” - an international team effort from the HOVON, EMN and GMMG study groups.
