    Abstract 3D models of cancer have the potential to improve basic, translational, and clinical studies. Patient-derived xenografts, spheroids, and organoids are broad categories of 3D models of cancer, and to date, these 3D models of cancer have been established for a variety of cancer types. In lung cancer, for example, 3D models offer a promising new avenue to gain novel insights into lung tumor biology and improve outcomes for patients afflicted with the number one cancer killer worldwide. However, the adoption and utility of these 3D models of cancer vary, and demonstrating the fidelity of these models is a critical first step before seeking meaningful applications. Here, we review use cases of current 3D lung cancer models and bioinformatic approaches to assessing model fidelity. Bioinformatics approaches play a key role in both validating 3D lung cancer models and high dimensional functional analyses to support downstream applications.

    Abstract Background: Genetic changes that drive the transition from lepidic to invasive cancer development within a radiographic ground glass or semi-solid lung lesion (SSL) are not well understood. Biomarkers to predict the transition to solid, invasive cancer within SSL are needed.
    Methods: Patients with surgically resected SSL were identified retrospectively from a surgical database. Clinical characteristics and survival were compared between stage I SSL (n = 65) and solid adenocarcinomas (n = 120) resected during the same time period. Areas of normal lung, in situ lepidic, and invasive solid tumor were microdissected from within the same SSL specimens and next generation sequencing (NGS) and Affymetrix microarray of gene expression were performed.
    Results: There were more never smokers, Asian patients, and sub-lobar resections among SSL but no difference in 5-year survival between SSL and solid adenocarcinoma. Driver mutations found in both lepidic and solid invasive portion were EGFR (43%), KRAS (21%), and DNMT3A (5%). CEACAM5 was the most upregulated gene found in solid, invasive portions of SSL. Lepidic and invasive solid areas had many similarities in gene expression, however there were some significant differences with the gene SPP1 being a unique biomarker for the invasive component of a SSL.
    Conclusions: Common lung cancer driver mutations are present in in situ lepidic as well as invasive solid portions of a SSL, suggesting early development of driver mutations. CEACAM5 and SPP1 emerged as promising biomarkers of invasive potential in semi-solid lesions. Other studies have shown both genes to correlate with poor prognosis in lung cancer and their role in evolution of semi-solid lung lesions warrants further study.

    Abstract Next-generation sequencing has changed the face of cancer immunotherapy research by making tumor-specific cancer vaccines a reality. Whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing combined with bioinformatic pipelines allow the prediction of neoantigen targets for cancer vaccines. In this review, we discuss the preclinical and early clinical evidence for cancer vaccines; describe methods and challenges in neoantigen prediction; and summarize emerging new technologies that will improve neoantigen cancer vaccine development.

    Abstract There remains a critical need for improved staging of non-small-cell lung cancer, as recurrence and mortality due to undetectable metastases at the time of surgery remain high even after complete resection of tumors currently categorized as 'early stage.' A 14-gene quantitative PCR-based expression profile has been extensively validated to better identify patients at high-risk of 5-year mortality after surgical resection than conventional staging - mortality that almost always results from previously undetectable metastases. Furthermore, prospective studies now suggest a predictive benefit in disease-free survival when the assay is used to guide adjuvant chemotherapy decisions in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer patients.

    Abstract Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare and have variable presentations, which range from an incidental finding to sudden death. We report a case of a female presenting with chest pain and signs of cardiac tamponade who underwent a computed tomography (CT) pulmonary embolus protocol and was found to have haemopericardium with accumulation of contrast adjacent to the aorta. She underwent emergent sternotomy and was found to have a ruptured giant right coronary artery aneurysm, which was ligated and bypassed. This report highlights the difficulty of diagnosing a ruptured giant coronary artery aneurysm via CT and provides valuable information on an atypical presentation.

    Abstract Tissue repair responses in metazoans are highly coordinated by different cell types over space and time. However, comprehensive single-cell-based characterization covering this coordination is lacking. Here, we captured transcriptional states of single cells over space and time during skin wound closure, revealing choreographed gene-expression profiles. We identified shared space-time patterns of cellular and gene program enrichment, which we call multicellular "movements" spanning multiple cell types. We validated some of the discovered space-time movements using large-volume imaging of cleared wounds and demonstrated the value of this analysis to predict "sender" and "receiver" gene programs in macrophages and fibroblasts. Finally, we tested the hypothesis that tumors are like "wounds that never heal" and found conserved wound healing movements in mouse melanoma and colorectal tumor models, as well as human tumor samples, revealing fundamental multicellular units of tissue biology for integrative studies.
