Nat Commun . 2024 Feb; 15(1):1792. PMID: 38413586
Neutrophils are evolutionarily conserved innate immune cells playing pivotal roles in host defense. Zebrafish models have contributed substantially to our understanding of neutrophil functions but similarities to human neutrophil maturation...

Nat Commun . 2023 Jun; 14(1):3620. PMID: 37365178
Metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related deaths. Neuroblastoma (NB), a childhood tumor has been molecularly defined at the primary cancer site, however, the bone marrow (BM) as the metastatic...

Cancers (Basel) . 2021 Sep; 13(17). PMID: 34503120
While the bone marrow attracts tumor cells in many solid cancers leading to poor outcome in affected patients, comprehensive analyses of bone marrow metastases have not been performed on a...

Baumgartner A, Stepien N, Mayr L, Madlener S, Dorfer C, Schmook M, et al.
J Pers Med . 2021 Apr; 11(4). PMID: 33921303
Primary diffuse leptomeningeal melanomatosis (PDLMM) is an extremely rare and aggressive cancer type for which best treatment strategies remain to be elucidated. Herein, we present current and prospective diagnostic strategies...

Weiss T, Taschner-Mandl S, Janker L, Bileck A, Rifatbegovic F, Kromp F, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Mar; 12(1):1624. PMID: 33712610
Adult Schwann cells (SCs) possess an inherent plastic potential. This plasticity allows SCs to acquire repair-specific functions essential for peripheral nerve regeneration. Here, we investigate whether stromal SCs in benign-behaving...

Sci Data . 2020 Aug; 7(1):262. PMID: 32782410
Fully-automated nuclear image segmentation is the prerequisite to ensure statistically significant, quantitative analyses of tissue preparations,applied in digital pathology or quantitative microscopy. The design of segmentation methods that work independently...

Int J Cancer . 2017 Sep; 142(2):297-307. PMID: 28921546
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. The vast majority of metastatic (M) stage patients present with disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow (BM) at...

Clin Cancer Res . 2017 Feb; 23(15):4224-4232. PMID: 28228384
Tumor relapse is the most frequent cause of death in stage 4 neuroblastomas. Since genomic information on the relapse precursor cells could guide targeted therapy, our aim was to find...

Glia . 2016 Aug; 64(12):2133-2153. PMID: 27545331
The remarkable feature of Schwann cells (SCs) to transform into a repair phenotype turned the spotlight on this powerful cell type. SCs provide the regenerative environment for axonal re-growth after...
