Vaccine development: obligate intracellular bacteria new tools, old pathogens: the current state of vaccines against obligate intracellular bacteria.
van Schaik EJ, Fratzke AP, Gregory AE, Dumaine JE, Samuel JE
Obligate intracellular bacteria have remained those for which effective vaccines are unavailable, mostly because protection does not solely rely on an antibody response. Effective antibody-based vaccines, however, have been developed against extracellular bacteria pathogens or toxins. Additionally, obligate intracellular bacteria have evolved many mechanisms to subvert the immune response, making vaccine development complex. Much of what we know about protective immunity for these pathogens has...

Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Model of Z-Endoxifen Concentrations in Tamoxifen-Treated Patients from the CEPAM Cohort.
Mc Laughlin AM, Helland T, Klima F, Koolen SLW, van Schaik RHN, Mathijssen RHJ, Neven P, Swen JJ, Guchelaar HJ, Dalenc F, White-Koning M, Michelet R, Mikus G, Schroth W, Mürdter T, Brauch H, Schwab M, Søiland H, Mellgren G, Thomas F, Kloft C, Hertz DL, CYP2D6 Endoxifen Percentage Activity Model (CEPAM) Consortium
Tamoxifen is widely used in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The polymorphic enzyme CYP2D6 is primarily responsible for metabolic activation of tamoxifen, resulting in substantial interindividual variability of plasma concentrations of its most important metabolite, Z-endoxifen. The Z-endoxifen concentration thresholds below which tamoxifen treatment is less efficacious have been proposed but not validated, and prospective trials of individualized tamoxifen treatment to ach...

Sensitive B-cell receptor repertoire analysis shows repopulation correlates with clinical response to rituximab in rheumatoid arthritis.
Pollastro S, Musters A, Balzaretti G, Niewold I, van Schaik B, Hässler S, Verhoef CM, Pallardy M, van Kampen A, Mariette X, de Vries N, ABIRISK Consortium
Background: Although B-cell depleting therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is clearly effective, response is variable and does not correlate with B cell depletion itself. Methods: The B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire was prospectively analyzed in peripheral blood samples of twenty-eight RA patients undergoing rituximab therapy. Timepoints of achieved BCR-depletion and -repopulation were defined based on the percentage of unmutated BCRs in the repertoire. The predictive value of early BCR-depleti...

Doidge C, Ånestad LM, Burrell A, Frössling J, Palczynski L, Pardon B, Veldhuis A, Bokma J, Carmo LP, Hopp P, Guelbenzu-Gonzalo M, Meunier NV, Ordell A, Santman-Berends I, van Schaik G, Kaler J
For successful development and adoption of technology on dairy farms, farmers need to be included in the innovation process. However, the design of agricultural technologies usually takes a top-down approach with little involvement of end-users at the early stages. Living Labs offer a methodology that involve end-users throughout the development process and emphasize the importance of understanding users' needs. Currently, exploration of dairy farmers' technology needs has been limited...

Histopathologic diagnosis and classification of cancer plays a critical role in guiding treatment. Advances in next-generation sequencing have ushered in new complementary molecular frameworks. However, existing approaches do not independently assess both site-of-origin (e.g. prostate) and lineage (e.g. adenocarcinoma) and have minimal validation in metastatic disease, where classification is more difficult. Utilizing gradient-boosted machine learning, we developed ATLAS, a pair of separate AI T...

Prioritization of Kidney Cell Types Highlights Myofibroblast Cells in Regulating Human Blood Pressure.
Ganji-Arjenaki M, Kamali Z, International Consortium of Blood Pressure, Sardari S, de Borst M, Snieder H, Vaez A
Introduction: Blood pressure (BP) is a highly heritable trait with over 2000 underlying genomic loci identified to date. Although the kidney plays a key role, little is known about specific cell types involved in the genetic regulation of BP. Methods: Here, we applied stratified linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression to connect BP genome-wide association studies (GWAS) results to specific cell types of the mature human kidney. We used the largest single-stage BP genome-wide analysis to d...
