Automated neuronal reconstruction with super-multicolour Tetbow labelling and threshold-based clustering of colour hues.

Fluorescence imaging is widely used for the mesoscopic mapping of neuronal connectivity. However, neurite reconstruction is challenging, especially when neurons are densely labelled. Here, we report a strategy for the fully automated reconstruction of densely labelled neuronal circuits. Firstly, we establish stochastic super-multicolour labelling with up to seven different fluorescent proteins using the Tetbow method. With this method, each neuron is labelled with a unique combination of fluorescent proteins, which are then imaged and separated by linear unmixing. We also establish an automated neurite reconstruction pipeline based on the quantitative analysis of multiple dyes (QDyeFinder), which identifies neurite fragments with similar colour combinations. To classify colour combinations, we develop unsupervised clustering algorithm, dCrawler, in which data points in multi-dimensional space are clustered based on a given threshold distance. Our strategy allows the reconstruction of neurites for up to hundreds of neurons at the millimetre scale without using their physical continuity.

Revised Enskog theory and molecular dynamics simulations of the viscosities and thermal conductivity of the hard-sphere fluid and crystal.

Hard-sphere (HS) shear, longitudinal, cross, and bulk viscosities and the thermal conductivity are obtained by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, covering the entire density range from the dilute fluid to the solid crystal near close-packing. The transport coefficient data for the HS crystal are largely new and display, unlike for the fluid, a surprisingly simple behavior in that they can be represented well by a simple function of the density compressibility factor. In contrast to the other four transport coefficients (which diverge), the bulk viscosity in the solid is quite small and decreases rapidly with increasing density, tending to zero in the close-packed limit. The so-called cross viscosity exhibits a different behavior to the other viscosities, in being negative over the entire solid range, and changes sign from negative to positive on increasing the density in the fluid phase. The extent to which the viscosity tensor and thermal conductivity of the HS crystal can be represented by revised Enskog theory (RET) is investigated. The RET expressions are sums of an instantaneous (I), a kinetic (K), and a so-called α part. The I part of the transport coefficients evaluated directly by MD are statistically indistinguishable from those of the corresponding kinetic theory (Enskog and RET) expressions. For the K part the integral over the spatial two-particle distribution function at contact was determined and the α part was estimated using the direct correlation function and density functional theory approximations. All three parts were determined in this work which allowed the accuracy of RET for solid systems to be assessed rigorously. It is found that in the case of the thermal conductivity the predictions of RET are in excellent agreement with the MD results. Also, for the shear viscosity the agreement over the entire solid phase is quite good but is considerably worse for the three remaining viscosities in the solid phase.

Unlocking catalytic potential: a rhodium(II)-based coordination polymer for efficient carbene transfer reactions with donor/acceptor diazoalkanes.

Herein, we report the use of a molecular-defined rhodium(II) coordination polymer (Rh-CP) as a heterogeneous, recyclable catalyst in carbene transfer reactions. We showcase the application of this heterogeneous catalyst in a range of carbene transfer reactions and conclude with the functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.

Using the Zeno line to assess and refine molecular models.

The Zeno line is the locus of points on the temperature-density plane where the compressibility factor of the fluid is equal to one. It has been observed to be straight for a broad variety of real fluids, although the underlying reasons for this are still unclear. In this work, a detailed study of the Zeno line and its relation to the vapor-liquid coexistence curve is performed for two simple model pair-potential fluids: attractive square-well fluids with varying well-widths λ and Mie n-6 fluids with different repulsive exponents n. Interestingly, the Zeno lines of these fluids are curved, regardless of the value of λ or n. We find that for square-well fluids, λ ≈ 1.8 presents a Zeno line, which is the most linear over the largest temperature range. For Mie n-6 fluids, we find that the straightest Zeno line occurs for n between 8 and 10. Additionally, the square-well and Mie fluids with the straightest Zeno line showed the closest quantitative agreement with the vapor-liquid coexistence curve for experimental fluids that follow the principle of corresponding states (e.g., argon, xenon, krypton, methane, nitrogen, and oxygen). These results suggest that the Zeno line can provide a useful additional feature, in complement to other properties, such as the phase envelope, to evaluate molecular models.

Loss of Esr1 Does Not Affect Hearing and Balance.

Although estrogen affects the structure and function of the nervous system and brain and has a number of effects on cognition, its roles in the auditory and vestibular systems remain unclear. The actions of estrogen are mediated predominately through two classical nuclear estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2). In the current study, we investigated the roles of ESR1 in normal auditory function and balance performance using 3-month-old wild-type (WT) and Esr1 knockout (KO) mice on a CBA/CaJ background, a normal-hearing strain. As expected, body weight of Esr1 KO females was lower than that of Esr1 KO males. Body weight of Esr1 KO females was higher than that of WT females, while there was no difference in body weight between WT and Esr1 KO males. Similarly, head diameter was higher in Esr1 KO vs. WT females. Contrary to our expectations, there were no differences in auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds, ABR waves I-V amplitudes and ABR waves I-V latencies at 8, 16, 32, and 48 kHz, distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) thresholds and amplitudes at 8, 16, and 32 kHz, and rotarod balance performance (latency to fall) between WT and Esr1 KO mice. Furthermore, there were no sex differences in ABRs, DPOAEs, and rotarod balance performance in Esr1 KO mice. Taken together, our findings show that Esr1 deficiency does not affect auditory function or balance performance in normal hearing mice, and suggest that loss of Esr1 is likely compensated by ESR2 or other estrogen receptors to maintain the structure and function of the auditory and vestibular systems under normal physiological conditions.

Efficient Electrochemical Lead Detection by a Histidine-Grafted Metal-Organic Framework MOF-808 Electrode Material.

As the excessive presence of heavy metals in the environment significantly affects human health, it becomes necessary to develop efficient, selective, and sensitive methods for their detection. In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of Pb2+ ions is described. The proposed sensor is based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by a thin film of histidine-grafted metal-organic framework (MOF-808-His). The MOF-808 was obtained solvothermally, and then postsynthetically modified by substituting the coordinated acetate with histidinate. By electrochemistry, the MOF-808-His-modified GCE demonstrated high charge selectivity, while electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and kinetic studies gave a lower charge transfer resistance (4196 Ω) and a better standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (1.80 × 10-5 cm s-1) on MOF-808-modified GCE. These results indicated a swift and direct electron transfer rate from [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- to the electrode surface. Using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV), the rapid and highly sensitive determination of Pb2+ was achieved on MOF-808-His-modified GCE. By optimizing the accumulation-detection parameters including pH of the detection medium, deposition time and potential, and concentration, a remarkable limit of detection (LoD, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3) of (1.12 × 10-10 ± 0.10 × 10-10) mol L-1 was obtained, with a sensitivity of (9.6 ± 0.1) µA L µmol-1. After interference and stability studies, the MOF-808-His-modified GCE was applied to the detection of Pb2+ in a tap water sample with a concentration of 10 µmol L-1 Pb2+.

Bimetallic CPM-37(Ni,Fe) metal-organic framework: enhanced porosity, stability and tunable composition.

A newly synthesized series of bimetallic CPM-37(Ni,Fe) metal-organic frameworks with different iron content (Ni/Fe ≈ 2, 1, 0.5, named CPM-37(Ni2Fe), CPM-37(NiFe) and CPM-37(NiFe2)) demonstrated high N2-based specific SBET surface areas of 2039, 1955, and 2378 m2 g-1 for CPM-37(Ni2Fe), CPM-37(NiFe), and CPM-37(NiFe2), having much higher values compared to the monometallic CPM-37(Ni) and CPM-37(Fe) with 87 and 368 m2 g-1 only. It is rationalized that the mixed-metal nature of the materials increases the structural robustness due to the better charge balance at the coordination bonded cluster, which opens interesting application-oriented possibilities for mixed-metal CPM-37 and other less-stable MOFs. In this work, the CPM-37-derived α,ß-Ni(OH)2, γ-NiO(OH), and, plausibly, γ-FeO(OH) phases obtained via decomposition in the alkaline medium demonstrated a potent electrocatalytic activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The ratio Ni : Fe ≈ 2 from CPM-37(Ni2Fe) showed the best OER activity with a small overpotential of 290 mV at 50 mA cm-2, low Tafel slope of 39 mV dec-1, and more stable OER performance compared to RuO2 after 20 h chronopotentiometry at 50 mA cm-2.

Exceptionally Stable And Super-Efficient Electrocatalysts Derived From Semiconducting Metal Phosphonate Frameworks.

Two new isostructural semiconducting metal-phosphonate frameworks are reported. Co2 [1,4-NDPA] and Zn2 [1,4-NDPA] (1,4-NDPA4- is 1,4-naphthalenediphosphonate) have optical bandgaps of 1.7 eV and 2.5 eV, respectively. The electrocatalyst derived from Co2 [1,4-NPDA] as a precatalyst generated a low overpotential of 374 mV in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a Tafel slope of 43 mV dec-1 at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline electrolyte (1 mol L-1 KOH), which is indicative of remarkably superior reaction kinetics. Benchmarking of the OER of Co2 [1,4-NPDA] material as a precatalyst coupled with nickel foam (NF) showed exceptional long-term stability at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 for water splitting compared to the state-of-the-art Pt/C/RuO2 @NF after 30 h in 1 mol L-1 KOH. In order to further understand the OER mechanism, the transformation of Co2 [1,4-NPDA] into its electrocatalytically active species was investigated.

Cutaneous lesions and clinical outcomes in five cats after frunevetmab injections.

CASE SERIES SUMMARY: This case series describes five cats with cutaneous adverse events after subcutaneous administration of frunevetmab, a felinised anti-nerve growth factor monoclonal antibody, including histopathological findings in one case. All cats displayed moderate to severe pruritus resulting in self-trauma to the neck and/or head, causing lesions ranging from superficial dermatitis to alopecia and ulcerations. There were no reactions at the injection sites. In one cat, clinical signs developed after the second frunevetmab dose the cat received, with no reaction noted after the first dose. For the remaining cats, clinical signs were observed after their first dose of frunevetmab. The onset of the first episode of pruritus and self-trauma was 3-18 days after the most recent frunevetmab injection. Three cats had one or more additional frunevetmab injections after the original adverse event and all had subsequent reactions. Subsequent reactions were either similar in time frame or occurred more rapidly, with similar or more severe pruritus compared with the original reactions. Treatments and outcomes varied between cases. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION: Frunevetmab is a novel, monthly injectable monoclonal antibody for the management of pain associated with osteoarthritis in cats. This is the first published report detailing the nature of cutaneous adverse events associated with this treatment, and the first report of the histopathological findings.

Challenges and advanced concepts for the assessment of learning and memory function in mice.

The mechanisms underlying the formation and retrieval of memories are still an active area of research and discussion. Manifold models have been proposed and refined over the years, with most assuming a dichotomy between memory processes involving non-conscious and conscious mechanisms. Despite our incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms, tests of memory and learning count among the most performed behavioral experiments. Here, we will discuss available protocols for testing learning and memory using the example of the most prevalent animal species in research, the laboratory mouse. A wide range of protocols has been developed in mice to test, e.g., object recognition, spatial learning, procedural memory, sequential problem solving, operant- and fear conditioning, and social recognition. Those assays are carried out with individual subjects in apparatuses such as arenas and mazes, which allow for a high degree of standardization across laboratories and straightforward data interpretation but are not without caveats and limitations. In animal research, there is growing concern about the translatability of study results and animal welfare, leading to novel approaches beyond established protocols. Here, we present some of the more recent developments and more advanced concepts in learning and memory testing, such as multi-step sequential lockboxes, assays involving groups of animals, as well as home cage-based assays supported by automated tracking solutions; and weight their potential and limitations against those of established paradigms. Shifting the focus of learning tests from the classical experimental chamber to settings which are more natural for rodents comes with a new set of challenges for behavioral researchers, but also offers the opportunity to understand memory formation and retrieval in a more conclusive way than has been attainable with conventional test protocols. We predict and embrace an increase in studies relying on methods involving a higher degree of automatization, more naturalistic- and home cage-based experimental setting as well as more integrated learning tasks in the future. We are confident these trends are suited to alleviate the burden on animal subjects and improve study designs in memory research.

Outpatient Motor Retraining for Functional Movement Disorder: Predictors of a Favorable Short-Term Response.

Background: Treating functional movement disorder (FMD) with motor retraining is effective but resource intensive. Objectives: Identify patient, disease, and program variables associated with favorable treatment outcomes. Methods: Retrospective review of the 1 week intensive outpatient FMD program at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota from February 2019 to August 2021. Outcomes included patient-reported measures (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure-Performance and Satisfaction subscales [COPM-P and COPM-S, range 0-10] and Global Rating of Change [GROC, -7 to +7]) and a retrospective investigator-rated scale (0-3, worse/not improved to significantly improved/resolved). Linear regression models identified variables predicting favorable outcomes. Results: Participants (n = 201, 74% female, mean age = 46) had median FMD duration of 24 months. The commonest FMD subtypes were gait disorder (65%), tremor (41%) and weakness (17%); 53% had ≥2 subtypes. Most patients (88%) completed a therapeutic screening process before program entry. Patient-reported outcomes at the end of the week improved substantially (COPM-P average change 3.8 ± 1.9; GROC post-program average 5.5 ± 1.7). Available investigator-rated outcomes from short-term follow-up were also positive (102/122 [84%] moderately to significantly improved/resolved). Factors predicting greater improvement in COPM-P were completing therapeutic screening, higher number of non-motor symptoms, shorter FMD duration, earlier program entry, lower baseline COPM scores, and (among screened patients) higher GROC between therapeutic screening and program start. Conclusion: Patients with diverse FMD subtypes improved substantially over a 1 week period. Utilization of therapeutic screening and greater improvement between therapeutic screening and program start were novel predictors of favorable outcomes. Non-motor symptoms did not preclude positive responses, although patients with predominant non-motor burden were excluded.

The efficient removal of ibuprofen, caffeine, and bisphenol A using engineered egusi seed shells biochar: adsorption kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and mechanism.

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), also known as micropollutants, have been recognized in recent years as substantial water pollutants because of the potential threats they pose to the environment and human health. This study was aimed at preparing biochar (BC) based on egusi seed shells (ESS) with well-developed porosity and excellent adsorption capacity towards CECs including ibuprofen (IBP), caffeine (CAF), and bisphenol A (BPA). BC samples were prepared by pyrolysis at different temperatures (400 to 800 °C) and were characterized using nitrogen sorption, FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), SEM/EDS, elemental analysis, and thermal analysis. The nitrogen sorption and SEM results showed that the textural properties were more prominent as the pyrolysis temperature increased. The BC sample obtained at 800 °C which exhibited the largest specific surface area (688 m2/g) and the highest pore volume (0.320 cm3/g) was selected for the adsorption study of CECs. The kinetic study shows that the adsorption equilibrium of CAF and BPA was faster than that of IBP. The pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models best fitted the adsorption data. The Langmuir maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of biochar were found to be ~ 180, 121, and 73 mg/g respectively for IBP, CAF, and BPA. The thermodynamic study shows that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic for the three CECs. The results of the adsorption and the analysis of BC after adsorption showed that hydrogen bonding, van der Waals, π-π, n-π interactions, and pore filling were involved in the adsorption mechanism. The prepared biochar BC from ESS displayed a large surface area and good morphology and significantly promotes adsorption of CECs and good efficiency on synthetic effluent. Finally, it offers a low-cost and cleaner production method.

Effective Hand Rearing of Neonatal Mice for Developmental Studies.

Chronic manipulation in neonatal mice is a technical challenge, but it can achieve greater insights into how mice develop immediately after birth. However, these manipulations can often result in maternal rejection and consequently serious malnourishment and occasional death. Here, we describe a method to effectively hand rear mice to develop normally during the first post-natal week. In our experiments, we were able to negate the feeding deficiencies of anosmic mutant mice when compared to littermate controls. As a result, the delayed neuronal remodeling seen in maternally reared mutant mice was not seen in the hand-reared mutant mice. This methodology is user intensive but can be useful for a broad range of studies either requiring many interventions or one intervention that can result in maternal rejection or being outcompeted by healthy littermates.

Activity-dependent local protection and lateral inhibition control synaptic competition in developing mitral cells in mice.

In developing brains, activity-dependent remodeling facilitates the formation of precise neuronal connectivity. Synaptic competition is known to facilitate synapse elimination; however, it has remained unknown how different synapses compete with one another within a post-synaptic cell. Here, we investigate how a mitral cell in the mouse olfactory bulb prunes all but one primary dendrite during the developmental remodeling process. We find that spontaneous activity generated within the olfactory bulb is essential. We show that strong glutamatergic inputs to one dendrite trigger branch-specific changes in RhoA activity to facilitate the pruning of the remaining dendrites: NMDAR-dependent local signals suppress RhoA to protect it from pruning; however, the subsequent neuronal depolarization induces neuron-wide activation of RhoA to prune non-protected dendrites. NMDAR-RhoA signals are also essential for the synaptic competition in the mouse barrel cortex. Our results demonstrate a general principle whereby activity-dependent lateral inhibition across synapses establishes a discrete receptive field of a neuron.

From Atoms to Colloids: Does the Frenkel Line Exist in Discontinuous Potentials?

The Frenkel line has been proposed as a crossover in the fluid region of phase diagrams between a "nonrigid" and a "rigid" fluid. It is generally described as a crossover in the dynamical properties of a material and as such has been described theoretically using a very different set of markers from those with which is it investigated experimentally. In this study, we have performed extensive calculations using two simple yet fundamentally different model systems: hard spheres and square-well potentials. The former has only hardcore repulsion, while the latter also includes a simple model of attraction. We computed and analyzed a series of physical properties used previously in simulations and experimental measurements and discuss critically their correlations and validity as to being able to uniquely and coherently locate the Frenkel line in discontinuous potentials.

DeepStruc: towards structure solution from pair distribution function data using deep generative models.

Structure solution of nanostructured materials that have limited long-range order remains a bottleneck in materials development. We present a deep learning algorithm, DeepStruc, that can solve a simple monometallic nanoparticle structure directly from a Pair Distribution Function (PDF) obtained from total scattering data by using a conditional variational autoencoder. We first apply DeepStruc to PDFs from seven different structure types of monometallic nanoparticles, and show that structures can be solved from both simulated and experimental PDFs, including PDFs from nanoparticles that are not present in the training distribution. We also apply DeepStruc to a system of hcp, fcc and stacking faulted nanoparticles, where DeepStruc recognizes stacking faulted nanoparticles as an interpolation between hcp and fcc nanoparticles and is able to solve stacking faulted structures from PDFs. Our findings suggests that DeepStruc is a step towards a general approach for structure solution of nanomaterials.

Sex differences in body composition, voluntary wheel running activity, balance performance, and auditory function in CBA/CaJ mice across the lifespan.

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic health condition affecting older adults and age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most common form of hearing impairment. Significant sex differences in hearing have been documented in humans and rodents. In general, the results of these studies show that men lose their hearing more rapidly than women. However, the cellular mechanism underlying sex differences in hearing or hearing loss remains largely unknown, and to our knowledge, there is no well-established animal model for studying sex differences in hearing. In the current study, we examined sex differences in body composition, voluntary wheel running activity, balance performance, auditory function, and cochlear histology in young, middle-age, and old CBA/CaJ mice, a model of age-related hearing loss. As expected, body weight of young females was lower than that of males. Similarly, lean mass and total water mass of young, middle-age, and old females were lower than those of males. Young females showed higher voluntary wheel running activity during the dark cycle, an indicator of mobility, physical activity, and balance status, compared to males. Young females also displayed higher auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave I amplitudes at 8 kHz, wave II, III, V amplitudes at 8 and 48 kHz, and wave IV/I and V/I amplitude ratios at 48 kHz compared to males. Collectively, our findings suggest that the CBA/CaJ mouse strain is a useful model to study the cellular mechanisms underlying sex differences in physical activity and hearing.

Gene Therapy for High Grade Glioma: The Clinical Experience.

INTRODUCTION: High-grade gliomas (HGG) are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in adults, with a median survival of ~18 months. The standard of care (SOC) is maximal safe surgical resection, and radiation therapy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide. This protocol remains unchanged since 2005, even though HGG median survival has marginally improved. AREAS COVERED: Gene therapy was developed as a promising approach to treat HGG. Here, we review completed and ongoing clinical trials employing viral and non-viral vectors for adult and pediatric HGG, as well as the key supporting preclinical data. EXPERT OPINION: These therapies have proven safe, and pre- and post-treatment tissue analyses demonstrated tumor cell lysis, increased immune cell infiltration, and increased systemic immune function. Although viral therapy in clinical trials has not yet significantly extended the survival of HGG, promising strategies are being tested. Oncolytic HSV vectors have shown promising results for both adult and pediatric HGG. A recently published study demonstrated that HG47Δ improved survival in recurrent HGG. Likewise, PVSRIPO has shown survival improvement compared to historical controls. It is likely that further analysis of these trials will stimulate the development of new administration protocols, and new therapeutic combinations that will improve HGG prognosis.

Tethered hard spheres: A bridge between the fluid and solid phases.

The thermodynamics of hard spheres tethered to a Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice is investigated using event-driven molecular-dynamics. The particle-particle and the particle-tether collision rates are related to the phase space geometry and are used to study the FCC and fluid states. In tethered systems, the entropy can be determined by at least two routes: (i) through integration of the tether collision rates with the tether length rT or (ii) through integration of the particle-particle collision rates with the hard-sphere diameter σ (or, equivalently, the density). If the entropy were an entirely analytic function of rT and σ, these two methods for calculating the entropy should lead to the same results; however, a non-analytic region exists as an extension of the solid-fluid phase transition of the untethered hard-sphere system, and integration paths that cross this region will lead to values for the entropy that depend on the particular path chosen. The difference between the calculated entropies appears to be related to the communal entropy, and the location of the non-analytic region appears to be related to conditions where the regions of phase space associated with the FCC configuration become separated from those associated with the disordered fluid. The non-analytic region is finite in extent, vanishing below rT/a ≈ 0.55, where a is the lattice spacing, and there are many continuous paths that connect the fluid and solid phases that can be used to determine the crystal free energy with respect to the fluid.

H3.3-G34 mutations impair DNA repair and promote cGAS/STING-mediated immune responses in pediatric high-grade glioma models.

Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children in the USA. Sixteen percent of hemispheric pediatric and young adult HGGs encode Gly34Arg/Val substitutions in the histone H3.3 (H3.3-G34R/V). The mechanisms by which H3.3-G34R/V drive malignancy and therapeutic resistance in pHGGs remain unknown. Using a syngeneic, genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) and human pHGG cells encoding H3.3-G34R, we demonstrate that this mutation led to the downregulation of DNA repair pathways. This resulted in enhanced susceptibility to DNA damage and inhibition of the DNA damage response (DDR). We demonstrate that genetic instability resulting from improper DNA repair in G34R-mutant pHGG led to the accumulation of extrachromosomal DNA, which activated the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of IFN genes (cGAS/STING) pathway, inducing the release of immune-stimulatory cytokines. We treated H3.3-G34R pHGG-bearing mice with a combination of radiotherapy (RT) and DNA damage response inhibitors (DDRi) (i.e., the blood-brain barrier-permeable PARP inhibitor pamiparib and the cell-cycle checkpoint CHK1/2 inhibitor AZD7762), and these combinations resulted in long-term survival for approximately 50% of the mice. Moreover, the addition of a STING agonist (diABZl) enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of these treatments. Long-term survivors developed immunological memory, preventing pHGG growth upon rechallenge. These results demonstrate that DDRi and STING agonists in combination with RT induced immune-mediated therapeutic efficacy in G34-mutant pHGG.
