Multidimensional proteomics analysis of amniotic fluid to provide insight into the mechanisms of idiopathic preterm birth. by Irina A Buhimschi, Guomao Zhao, Victor A Rosenberg, Sonya Abdel-Razeq, Stephen Thung, Catalin S Buhimschi

“…<h4>Background</h4>Though recent advancement in proteomics has provided a novel perspective on several distinct pathogenetic mechanisms leading to preterm birth (inflammation, bleeding), the etiology of most preterm births still remains elusive. We conducted a multidimensional proteomic analysis of the amniotic fluid to identify pathways related to preterm birth in the absence of inflammation or bleeding.…”

Integrating Immunotherapy With Targeted Therapy: Evaluating Efficacy in NSCLC Treatment Through Computational Analysis of Gene Regulatory Networks by Pranabesh Bhattacharjee, Aditya Lahiri, Tanmay Sindhwani, Norman Peter Reeves, Aniruddha Datta

“…Key results show that the inclusion of immunotherapy&#x2014;particularly PD-L1 inhibitors such as Durvalumab&#x2014;significantly improves therapeutic outcomes, especially in networks with multiple co-occurring mutations. The most effective four-drug combination identified (Durvalumab + Lumakras + Ribociclib + Capivasertib) targets immune evasion, KRAS signaling, cell cycle regulation, and AKT activation, reducing tumor-promoting signals by 89.2% compared to the untreated state. …”
