Evaluation of Ancestry-Associated Bias in Tumor Mutational Burden Calculation in the TruSight Oncology 500 Platform (AMP 2024)
Because no significant bias was identified in this limited cohort, an ancestry-based calibration constant or normalization procedure cannot be systematically applied. However, the TMB calling algorithm used by TSO500 relies upon population databases. Therefore, the underlying variants and calculations used to determine TMB should be manually evaluated on a case-by-case basis, particularly for tumors with TMBs close to treatment thresholds in patients of ancestries underrepresented in population databases.

Performance of Idylla MSI and Promega LMR Assays for Pan-Cancer Testing of Microsatellite Instability at Temple University Health System (AMP 2024)
Both assays showed comparable sensitivity in establishing MSI status for CRC and the expanded spectrum of non-CRC tumors. Advantages such as increased number of LMR loci in the Promega assay and the need for only tumor specimen in the Idylla assay increase the utility of these assays in determination of MSI status in a variety of cancers.

Correcting for Observation Bias in Cancer Progression Modeling. (PubMed, J Comput Biol)
In colon adenocarcinoma, we observe a significantly higher rate of clinical detection for TP53-positive tumors, while in lung adenocarcinoma, the same is true for EGFR-positive tumors. Compared to classical MHNs, this approach eliminates several spurious suppressive interactions and uncovers multiple promoting effects.

Design and development of dual targeting CAR protein for the development of CAR T-cell therapy against KRAS mutated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using computational approaches. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Mutant KRAS therapeutics are limited, while Sotorasib and Adagrasib were the only FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of KRASG12C mutated NSCLC. Conclusively, we have designed and developed a dual targeting (MSLN & CEA) CAR protein towards KRAS-mutated PDAC using computational approaches. Alongside, we further recommend to engineer this designed CAR in T-cells and evaluating their therapeutic efficiency in in vitro and in vivo studies in the near future.
