• HuBMAP: High Resolution 3D Mapping of Cellular Heterogeneity Within Multiple Types of Mineralized Tissues

  The overall goal of the study was to generate 3D single cell maps of healthy human knee cartilage. Articular cartilage from the weightbearing and non-weightbearing regions of the femoral condyles in healthy knees from young donors (n=12) was analyzed by bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq), single nuclei RNA (snRNA-seq) and ATAC-sequencing and by spatial transcriptomic methods (GeoMx, MERFISH and Xenium). These multimodal data and additional single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were integrated to generate a comprehensive molecular, genomic and function annotation of chondrocyte populations. Regulatory mechanisms were derived by linking motifs in expressed genes, transcription factors and chromatin organization.

• Immune Checkpoint Blockade for Relapsed Hematologic Malignancy Post-HSCT

  Relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is characterized by poor outcomes and novel therapeutic options are urgently needed. Immune checkpoint blockade using CTLA-4 and PD-1 blocking antibodies are a potential concept for reinstating a dormant graft-versus-leukemia (Gvl) effect. This study investigated transcriptomic changes in biopsies obtained from patients who received immune checkpoint blockade for relapsed hematologic malignancy post-HSCT and elucidated transcriptional programs associated with successful reinvigoration of GvL. Differential gene expression analysis showed evidence of increased T cell infiltration in biopsies of responders to ipilimumab treatment and demonstrated shared gene programs between GvL and GvHD.

• Transcriptomic Profiling after B-Cell Depletion Reveals Central and Peripheral Immune Cell Changes in Multiple Sclerosis

  We investigated the immunological effects of B cell depletion therapy using ocrelizumab in treatment-naïve relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients. Our primary aim was to delineate transcriptomic alterations in immune cell populations in peripheral blood before and after therapy, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). This study included 18 newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve RRMS patients who provided matched pre- and 6-month post-treatment peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). A secondary cohort of five patients also contributed paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. All RRMS patients were treated with ocrelizumab, except one patient in the CSF cohort who received rituximab.

• Single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-seq of Embryonal Tumor with Multilayered Rosettes (ETMR)

  Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) is a pediatric brain tumor with dismal prognosis. We analyzed eleven ETMR patient samples using single-cell transcriptomics. We reveal a spatially distinct cellular hierarchy that spans highly proliferative neural stem-like cells and more differentiated neuron-like cells. C19MC is predominantly expressed in stem-like cells and controls a transcriptional network governing stemness and lineage commitment. Systematic analysis of receptor-ligand interactions between malignant cell types reveals FGFR and NOTCH signaling as oncogenic pathways. Our study provides fundamental insights into ETMR pathobiology and a powerful rationale for more effective targeted therapies.

• Amplicon sequencing of melanoma samples

  The types of biomarkers for skin tumors have been 1) biochemical markers in blood, urine, and body fluid, 2) histopathological markers, 3) genetic examination of tumor tissue, 4) tumor-susceptibility assessed by germ_x0002_line genetic examination. Biomarkers in a blood are frequently used in the treatment of cutaneous malignancies, but are not suitable for early detection of malignancies. Research on circulating tumor cells, cell free DNA, exosomes has been promoted in recent years, but clinical application is halfway. Based on these circumstances, the purpose of this study is to search for biomarkers for diagnosis, therapeutic effect, and follow-up of skin tumors, and to verify their usefulness.

• DNTR sequencing data of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  This study used the DNTR-seq method in leukaemia samples to profile the whole-genome and mRNA jointly in single cells. Direct tagmentation is used in a collection of single-cell whole genome sequencing (scWGS) methods, including DNTR-seq, which provide high quality data at ultra-low to low coverage. The overall goal was to characterize the genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity of cancer samples. To infer clonal structure and evolutionary history, copy number analysis based workflows were implemented. Bone marrow mononuclear cells from pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples were FACS sorted into 384 plates to generate the DNA and RNA profiles.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of SI-NET

  Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) arise from hormone-producing cells in the gut, yet the molecular changes driving malignant transformation remain poorly understood. Bulk tissue-based analyses make it challenging to distinguish signals derived from normal cells from those of normal hormone-producing cells. In this study, we analyzed SI-NETs at single-cell resolution and directly compared tumor cells with their corresponding normal hormone-producing counterparts using single-cell RNA sequencing. Tissue samples were obtained from two patients undergoing tumor resection surgery. Cells from corresponding normal intestinal mucosa and SI-NET tumors were isolated using specific markers and analyzed for direct comparison.

• Heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension - new genetic findings and environmental triggers

  Whole exome seqeuncing data were analysed for a total of 13 family members of five heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH) families to identify a disease causing variant. In a first step, variants only present in affected family members and absent in healthy relatives of the respective family were selected. Subseqeuntly, due to incomplete penetrance of genes in PAH, the analysis was extended to variants present both in affected and healthy individuals. Heterozygous variants were primarily investigated followed by homozygous, compound heterozygous, and bi-allelic variants of interest. This study led to the identification of rare deleterious variants in three out of five families.

• Cardiogenics_re_sequencing

  The Cardiogenics re-sequencing study will consist of three parts: Eight pools of 25 individuals will be sequenced using a Nimblegen hybrid-capture solution specific to miRNA sequences, 80 pools of 25 individuals will be sequenced using a custom Agilent SureSelect array covering genes associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI), 10 individuals from families with a history of CAD/MI will be exome sequenced using the Sanger exome array. The experiment will use the early onset patients from the German MI cohort and the UK BHF CAD/MI cohort both of which have strong family history. For controls we will consider individuals from the UKBS and KORA cohorts.

• Rapid response of APC/TP53/KRAS mutated stage IV colorectal cancer under FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab detected by liquid biopsy: a case report

  In our non-interventional liquid biopsy study, a male patient in his fifties diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer and polytope liver metastases rapidly progressed after completing chemotherapy and deceased 8 months after diagnosis. Retrospective cell free DNA testing showed that the APC/TP53/KRAS major clone responded quickly after 3 cycles of FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab. Retrospective exome sequencing of pre-chemotherapy and post-chemotherapy tissue samples including metastases confirmed that the APC/TP53/KRAS and other major clonal mutations (GPR50, SLC5A, ZIC3, SF3A1 and others) were present in all samples. After the last chemotherapy cycle,
