🔴🟠 HIGH PRIORITY (8+) — Best Finds by Topic

Hematologic malignancies + CBC/ML Hematology (cross-topic)

TR-2026-05-28-001 / PMID 42203504 · Interpretable ML model using peripheral blood for non-invasive detection of moderate-to-severe myelofibrosis in JAK2 V617F-positive MPNs · 8/10 · 🟢 NEAR_TERM_IMPLEMENTABLE
→ SVM model on peripheral blood (Hb, IL-1β, age) detects moderate-to-severe MF with AUC 0.916 in external validation (n=428 total); IL-1β reversal by ruxolitinib/pegIFN-α adds mechanistic depth. Multicentre pilot — non-invasive staging could reduce invasive BM biopsy burden for regular MPN monitoring.
Br J Haematol — Hao Z / Shanxi Medical University + Case Western Reserve

Early cancer detection / Liquid biopsy (see also: Precision oncology for HRDetect)

TR-2026-05-28-003 / PMID 42202254 · Detection of Ultralow-Frequency ctDNA Mutations Using a Dual Hairpin-Competition CRISPR/Cas14a System · 7/10 · 🔴 EARLY_CANCER_DETECTION
→ DHCC platform detects ctDNA at 0.002% VAF (250-fold gain over prior Cas14a; 58-fold improvement in discrimination); 100% concordance with ddPCR in 22 plasma samples on standard qPCR hardware. Potentially democratizes ultrasensitive liquid biopsy.
Anal Chem — Liu Z / Nanjing Medical University

TR-2026-05-28-004 / PMID 42202925 · Emerging Biomarkers for the Early Detection of High-Grade Serous Tubo-Ovarian Cancer · 6/10 · 🔴 EARLY_CANCER_DETECTION
→ Systematic review endorses DNA methylation-based liquid biopsy as strongest current evidence for HGSOC screening; no existing biomarker reduces mortality at population level. High-unmet-need area synthesized for multimodal approach development.
Crit Rev Oncol Hematol — Atiq S / University of Newcastle

TR-2026-05-28-005 / PMID 42202492 · ctDNA profiling + anti-EGFR history predicts dual HER2 therapy failure in HER2-amplified mCRC (TRIUMPH/MyPathway) · 6/10 · 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT
→ ctDNA resistance alterations (RAS/BRAF/PIK3CA) in 27.3% of patients predicted 0% objective response to pertuzumab+trastuzumab and median OS 7.6 vs 16.5 months (HR 2.15). Actionable patient selection framework for HER2-targeted mCRC.
ESMO Open — Nakamura Y / National Cancer Center Hospital East, Tokyo

Precision oncology / Genomic medicine

TR-2026-05-28-002 / PMID 42201779 · HRDetect in Tubo-ovarian Carcinoma: Stratification and Therapeutic Implications · 8/10 · 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT
→ WGS HRDetect-high OC had OS 6.2 vs 4.1 years (HR 0.60, p=0.007); in ARIEL2 validation, PARPi response rate 54% vs 22.5% (HR 0.44, p=0.03); 23.2% HRDetect-intermediate category reveals underappreciated genomic heterogeneity. Precision PARPi selection beyond binary HRD.
Clin Cancer Res — Nik-Zainal S / Swisher EM (Cambridge + Fred Hutch/UW), n=262

Rare diseases / Novel therapeutics

TR-2026-05-28-006 / PMID 42202045 · Controlled CRISPR genome editing (PRINCE/Little Prince) for hypercholesterolemia and neovascular AMD · 5/10 (capped, non-human) · 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT
→ Small-molecule-inducible PRINCE/Little Prince systems: 45-47% LDL reduction in humanized mouse models, AMD lesion reduction (p<0.0001), dramatically reduced off-target editing vs constitutive CRISPR. 2-year temporal precision in human cell cultures. Single-AAV delivery for rare disease gene therapy.
Sci Transl Med — Zhang J / Wang Y (Shenzhen + Fudan)

💡 Sentinel / Unsolicited HIGH

TR-2026-05-28-007 / PMID 42204136 · Phosphoproteomics distinguishes disease-specific mechanisms for human phospholamban cardiomyopathy reversible by RNA therapy · 6/10 · 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT (unsolicited)
→ RNA therapy reverses phospholamban cardiomyopathy-specific signaling dysregulation identified by phosphoproteomics — a rare genetic cardiomyopathy with high sudden death risk and no approved disease-modifying therapy. High-impact journal (Signal Transduct Target Ther, IF ~39) from van der Meer P (Groningen).
Signal Transduct Target Ther — Deiman FE / van der Meer P (UMCG)
