    Abstract The chemical synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides and their assembly into synthons, genes, circuits, and even entire genomes by gene synthesis methods has become an enabling technology for modern molecular biology and enables the design, build, test, learn, and repeat cycle underpinning innovations in synthetic biology. In this perspective, we briefly review the techniques and technologies that enable the synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides and their assembly into larger DNA constructs with a focus on recent advancements that have sought to reduce synthesis cost and increase sequence fidelity. The development of lower-cost methods to produce high-quality synthetic DNA will allow for the exploration of larger biological hypotheses by lowering the cost of use and help to close the DNA read-write cost gap.

    Abstract DNA is increasingly being explored as an alternative medium for digital information storage, but the potential information loss from degradation and associated issues with error during reading challenge its wide-scale implementation. To address this, we propose an atomic-scale encoding standard for DNA, where information is encoded in degradation-resistant analogues of natural nucleic acids (xNAs). To better enable this approach, we used directed evolution to create a polymerase capable of transforming 2'-

    Abstract Purpose: The management of solitary locoregional recurrence (sLRR) of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) previously treated with radiotherapy (RT) is challenging. We aimed to identify characteristics associated with improved outcome.
    Methods: We identified patients treated with non-sinus, mucosal HNSCC who initially received IMRT. We characterized overall survival (OS) and locoregional control (LRC). Multivariable analysis (MVA) on survival and patterns-of-failure were performed using Cox and Fine-Gray competing risks analysis.
    Results: We identified 90 patients with available follow-up. In total, 67 (74%) patients received curative-intent salvage, while 23 (26%) received palliative care. On MVA, significantly improved OS and LRC were associated with lower initial N-classification and use of salvage total laryngectomy (TL) or neck dissection (ND).
    Conclusion: A nontrivial number of patients with sLRR cannot undergo salvage. Among patients treated with curative intent, TL or ND were clearly associated with improved OS and LRC.

    Abstract Background: A useful clinical biomarker requires not only association but also a consistent temporal relationship. For instance, chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and epidermal growth-factor inhibitor-related acneiform rash both occur within weeks of treatment initiation, thereby providing information prior to efficacy assessment. Although immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated immune-related adverse events (irAE) have been associated with therapeutic benefit, irAE may have delayed and highly variable onset. To determine whether ICI efficacy and irAE could serve as clinically useful biomarkers for predicting each other, we determined the temporal relationship between initial efficacy assessment and irAE onset in a diverse population treated with ICI.
    Methods: Using two-sided Fisher exact and Cochran-Armitage tests, we determined the relative timing of initial efficacy assessment and irAE occurrence in a cohort of 155 ICI-treated patients (median age 68 years, 40% women).
    Results: Initial efficacy assessment was performed a median of 50 days [interquartile range (IQR) 39-59 days] after ICI initiation; median time to any irAE was 77 days (IQR 28-145 days) after ICI initiation. Median time to first irAE was 42 days (IQR 20-88 days). Overall, 58% of any irAE and 47% of first irAE occurred after initial efficacy assessment. For clinically significant (grade ≥2) irAE, 60% of any and 53% of first occurred after initial efficacy assessment. The likelihood of any future irAE did not differ according to response (45% for complete or partial response vs. 47% for other cases;
    Conclusions: In contrast to that seen with chemotherapy and molecularly targeted therapies, the temporal relationship between ICI efficacy and toxicity is complex and bidirectional. In practice, neither parameter can be routinely relied on as a clinical biomarker to predict the other.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that establishes lifelong latency in memory B cells and has been identified as a major risk factor of multiple sclerosis (MS). B cell depletion therapies have disease-modifying benefit in MS. However, it is unclear whether this benefit is partly attributable to the elimination of EBV
    Methods: In this study, we describe the establishment of spontaneous lymphoblastoid cell lines (SLCLs) generated ex vivo with the endogenous EBV of patients with MS and controls and treated with either an Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) inhibitor (VK-1727) or cladribine, a nucleoside analog that eliminates B cells.
    Results: We showed that a small molecule inhibitor of EBNA1, a critical regulator of the EBV life cycle, blocks the proliferation and metabolic activity of these SLCLs. In contrast to cladribine, a highly cytotoxic B cell depleting therapy currently used in MS, the EBNA1 inhibitor VK-1727 was cytostatic rather than cytotoxic and selective for EBV
    Discussion: This study shows that patient-derived SLCLs provide a useful tool for interrogating the role of EBV

    Abstract Purpose: Elective neck irradiation (ENI) has long been considered mandatory when treating head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with definitive radiotherapy, but it is associated with significant dose to normal organs-at-risk (OAR). In this prospective phase II study, we investigated the efficacy and tolerability of eliminating ENI and strictly treating involved and suspicious lymph nodes (LN) with intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
    Patients and methods: Patients with newly diagnosed HNSCC of the oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx were eligible for enrollment. Each LN was characterized as involved or suspicious based on radiologic criteria and an in-house artificial intelligence (AI)-based classification model. Gross disease received 70 Gray (Gy) in 35 fractions and suspicious LNs were treated with 66.5 Gy, without ENI. The primary endpoint was solitary elective volume recurrence, with secondary endpoints including patterns-of-failure and patient-reported outcomes.
    Results: Sixty-seven patients were enrolled, with 18 larynx/hypopharynx and 49 oropharynx cancer. With a median follow-up of 33.4 months, the 2-year risk of solitary elective nodal recurrence was 0%. Gastrostomy tubes were placed in 14 (21%), with median removal after 2.9 months for disease-free patients; no disease-free patient is chronically dependent. Grade I/II dermatitis was seen in 90%/10%. There was no significant decline in composite MD Anderson Dysphagia Index scores after treatment, with means of 89.1 and 92.6 at 12 and 24 months, respectively.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that eliminating ENI is oncologically sound for HNSCC, with highly favorable quality-of-life outcomes. Additional prospective studies are needed to support this promising paradigm before implementation in any nontrial setting.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) are released from virtually all cell types, and may package many inflammatory factors and, in the case of infection, viral components. As such, EVPs can play not only a direct role in the development and progression of disease but can also be used as biomarkers. Here, we characterized immune signatures of EVPs from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of individuals with HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM), other chronic neurologic diseases, and healthy volunteers (HVs) to determine potential indicators of viral involvement and mechanisms of disease.
    Methods: We analyzed the EVPs from the CSF of HVs, individuals with HAM, HTLV-1-infected asymptomatic carriers (ACs), and from patients with a variety of chronic neurologic diseases of both known viral and non-viral etiologies to investigate the surface repertoires of CSF EVPs during disease.
    Results: Significant increases in CD8+ and CD2+ EVPs were found in HAM patient CSF samples compared to other clinical groups (
    Discussion: These data suggest that CD8+ and CD2+ CSF EVPs may be important as: 1) potential biomarkers and indicators of disease pathways for viral-mediated neurological diseases, particularly HAM, and 2) as possible meditators of the disease process in infected individuals.
