Robotic iliopubic tract (r-IPT) repair: technique and preliminary outcomes of a minimally invasive tissue repair for inguinal hernia
The iliopubic tract repair was first introduced by Nyhus in 1959, as an open non-mesh posterior preperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia. We have adapted this repair using a robotic approach to offer a minimal...

Open AccessDurable targeting of B-lymphocytes in living mice
Transfer to and enduring expression of genes in B cells has proved a vexing challenge. We report here a novel method for the specific and durable targeting of B lymphocytes in living mice. The method involves ...

Open AccessWhole-exome sequencing of cell-free DNA and circulating tumor cells in multiple myeloma
Liquid biopsies including circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) have enabled minimally invasive characterization of many cancers, but are rarely analyzed together. Understanding the detectab...

The LIN28B/let-7 axis is a novel therapeutic pathway in multiple myeloma
MYC is a major oncogenic driver of multiple myeloma (MM) and yet almost no therapeutic agents exist that target MYC in MM. Here we report that the let-7 biogenesis inhibitor LIN28B correlates with MYC expression ...

Phase I/II trial of everolimus in combination with bortezomib and rituximab (RVR) in relapsed/refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
We examined the combination of the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus with bortezomib and rituximab in patients with relapsed/refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) in a phase I/II study...

Intestinal adenoma formation and MYC activation are regulated by cooperation between MYB and Wnt signaling
Aberrant Wnt signaling mediated by mutations affecting APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) or β-catenin initiates the majority of human colorectal cancers (CRC) and drives tumorigenesis through the activation of spe...
