Abstract
DNA origami is a popular nanofabrication strategy that employs self-assembly of a long single scaffold strand, typically less than 10 kilobases in length, with hundreds of shorter staple strands into a desired shape. In particular, origami arranged as a single-layer rectangle has proven popular as flat pegboards that can display functionalities at staple-strand breakpoints, off the sides of the constituent double helices, with a ∼5.3 nm rhombic-lattice spacing. For applications that demand tighter spacing, functionalities can be displayed instead on the termini of helices of multilayer DNA origami. However, pegboards with the greatest addressable surface area are often found to be the most versatile. Given the practical limitations of the length of the scaffold that can be easily realized, designs that minimize the length of each helix would have advantages for maximizing the number of helices and therefore the number of addressable pixels on each terminal surface. Here we present an architecture for multilayer DNA origami displaying flush terminal interfaces from over 200 helices that each are only 5.3 turns in length. We characterize an example using cryo-EM imaging paired with single-particle analysis for further analysis of the global structure.

Abstract
Nanoscale stepper motors such as kinesin and dynein play a key role in numerous natural processes such as mitotic spindle formation during cell division or intracellular organelle transport. Their high efficacy in terms of operational speed and processivity has inspired the investigation of biomimetic technologies based on the use of programmable molecules. In particular, several designs of molecular walkers have been explored using DNA nanotechnology. Here, we study the actuation of a DNA-origami walker on a DNA-origami track based on three principles: 1) octapedal instead of bipedal walking for greater redundancy; 2) three pairs of orthogonal sequences, each of which fuels one repeatable stepping phase for cyclically driven motion with controlled directionality based on strain-based step selection; 3) designed size of only 3.5 nm per step on an origami track. All three principles are innovative in the sense that earlier demonstrations of steppers relied on a maximum of four legs on at least four orthogonal sequences to drive cyclic stepping, and took steps much larger than 3.4 nm in size. Using gel electrophoresis and negative-stain electron microscopy, we demonstrate cyclic actuation of DNA-origami structures through states defined by three sets of specific sequences of anchor points. However, this mechanism was not able to provide the intended control over directionality of movement. DNA-origami-based stepper motors will offer a future platform for investigating how increasing numbers of legs can be exploited to achieve robust stepping with relatively small step sizes.

Abstract
Decoding the identity of biomolecules from trace samples is a longstanding goal in the field of biotechnology. Advances in DNA analysis have substantially affected clinical practice and basic research, but corresponding developments for proteins face challenges due to their relative complexity and our inability to amplify them. Despite progress in methods such as mass spectrometry and mass cytometry, single-molecule protein identification remains a highly challenging objective. Towards this end, we combine DNA nanotechnology with single-molecule force spectroscopy to create a mechanically reconfigurable DNA nanoswitch caliper capable of measuring multiple coordinates on single biomolecules with atomic resolution. Using optical tweezers, we demonstrate absolute distance measurements with ångström-level precision for both DNA and peptides, and using multiplexed magnetic tweezers, we demonstrate quantification of relative abundance in mixed samples. Measuring distances between DNA-labelled residues, we perform single-molecule fingerprinting of synthetic and natural peptides, and show discrimination, within a heterogeneous population, between different posttranslational modifications. DNA nanoswitch calipers are a powerful and accessible tool for characterizing distances within nanoscale complexes that will enable new applications in fields such as single-molecule proteomics.

Abstract
DNA origami, in which a long scaffold strand is assembled with a many short staple strands into parallel arrays of double helices, has proven a powerful method for custom nanofabrication. However, currently the design and optimization of custom 3D DNA-origami shapes is a barrier to rapid application to new areas. Here we introduce a modular barrel architecture, and demonstrate hierarchical assembly of a 100 megadalton DNA-origami barrel of ~90 nm diameter and ~250 nm height, that provides a rhombic-lattice canvas of a thousand pixels each, with pitch of ~8 nm, on its inner and outer surfaces. Complex patterns rendered on these surfaces were resolved using up to twelve rounds of Exchange-PAINT super-resolution microscopy. We envision these structures as versatile nanoscale pegboards for applications requiring complex 3D arrangements of matter, which will serve to promote rapid uptake of this technology in diverse fields beyond specialist groups working in DNA nanotechnology. The design and optimisation of 3D DNA-origami can be a barrier to rapid application. Here the authors design barrel structure of stacked 2D double helical rings with complex surface patterns.

Abstract
Life operates at the intersection of chemistry and mechanics. Over the years, we have made remarkable progress in understanding life from a biochemical perspective and the mechanics of life at the single-molecule scale. Yet the full integration of physical and mechanical models into mainstream biology has been impeded by technical and conceptual barriers, including limitations in our ability to 1) easily measure and apply mechanical forces to biological systems, 2) scale these measurements from single-molecule characterization to more complex biomolecular systems, and 3) model and interpret biophysical data in a coherent way across length scales that span single molecules to cells to multicellular organisms. In this manuscript, through a look at historical and recent developments in force spectroscopy techniques and a discussion of a few exemplary open problems in cellular biomechanics, we aim to identify research opportunities that will help us reach our goal of a more complete and integrated understanding of the role of force and mechanics in biological systems.

Abstract
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes are the core molecular machinery of membrane fusion, a fundamental process that drives inter- and intracellular communication and trafficking. One of the questions that remains controversial has been whether and how SNAREs cooperate. Here we show the use of self-assembled DNA-nanostructure rings to template uniform-sized small unilamellar vesicles containing predetermined maximal number of externally facing SNAREs to study the membrane-fusion process. We also incorporated lipid-conjugated complementary ssDNA as tethers into vesicle and target membranes, which enabled bypass of the rate-limiting docking step of fusion reactions and allowed direct observation of individual membrane-fusion events at SNARE densities as low as one pair per vesicle. With this platform, we confirmed at the single event level that, after docking of the templated-SUVs to supported lipid bilayers (SBL), one to two pairs of SNAREs are sufficient to drive fast lipid mixing. Modularity and programmability of this platform makes it readily amenable to studying more complicated systems where auxiliary proteins are involved.

Abstract
The primary cilium is an organelle that serves as a signaling center of the cell and is involved in the cAMP, Wnt, and hedgehog signaling pathways. Adenylyl cyclase type III (ACIII) is enriched in primary cilia and acts as a marker that is involved in cAMP signaling, while also playing an important role in regulating ciliogenesis and sensory functions. Ciliary function relies on the transportation of molecules between the primary cilium and the cell, which is facilitated by intraflagellar transport (IFT). The detailed localization and interactions of these important proteins remain unclear due to the limited resolution of conventional microscopy. We conducted superresolution imaging of immunostained ACIII and IFT88 in human fibroblasts using stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. Instead of a homogeneous distribution along a primary cilium, our STED images revealed that ACIII formed a periodic punctate pattern with a roughly equal spacing between groups of puncta. Superresolution imaging of IFT88, an important protein of the IFT complexes, demonstrated two novel distinct distribution patterns at the basal end: a triangle of three puncta with similar fluorescence intensities, and a Y-shaped configuration of a bright punctum connected to two branches. We also performed STED imaging of IFT88 in mouse inner medullary collecting duct cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The similar three-puncta and Y-shape patterns were observed in these cells, suggesting that these distribution patterns are common among primary cilia of different cell types. Our results demonstrate the ability of superresolution STED microscopy to reveal novel structural characteristics in primary cilia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the efficacy and toxicity of liposomal daunorubicin administered as a two-hour intravenous infusion to patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had relapsed or refractory NHL with measurable or evaluable disease, and low grade, select intermediate grade, or mantle cell pathologic types. Prior exposure to an anthracycline or anthracenedione was allowed. Liposomal daunorubicin at a dose of 100 mg/m2 was given intravenously over a minimum of 120 minutes every 3 weeks. as a single agent. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were accrued: twenty-three (70%) had low-grade histologies; six (18%) had intermediate-grade histologies (follicular large-cell and diffuse small cleaved); and four (12%) patients had mantle-cell lymphoma. Eighteen (55%) had received two or more prior regimens; fourteen (42%) received a prior anthracycline. A median of six cycles of liposomal daunorubicin were administered (range 1-15). Of 31 patients evaluable for response, 2 complete and 10 partial remissions were documented for a major response rate of 39% (95% confidence interval (CI): 22%-58%). The median duration of response was 19.5 months (range 4.3-41.1+). Six responders (50%) had received a prior anthracycline; one responder had mantle-cell histology. The major toxicities were grade 3 or 4 neutropenia in 26 patients (79%), mild to moderate nausea in 22 (67%), and fatigue in 16 (48%). CONCLUSIONS Liposomal daunorubicin at 100 mg/m2 every three weeks has activity in patients with relapsed or refractory NHL, including patients with prior exposure to an anthracycline. Further studies of liposomal daunorubicin in combination with other agents are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cladribine (2-chlorodeoxyadenosine) is a purine nucleoside analog with cytotoxic activity against both resting and proliferating cells. Clinical studies with cladribine have reported antitumor activity against various hematologic malignancies. METHODS The authors studied responses to cladribine among patients with low and intermediate grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that had been refractory to or relapsed after prior chemotherapy. Cladribine was given intravenously over 2 hours at a dose of 0.14 mg/kg daily for 5 consecutive days, repeated every 4 weeks. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients (16 males, 12 females) with a median age of 58 years (range, 41-75 years) were accrued. Twenty-three patients had low grade and 5 had intermediate grade lymphoma. Stage IV disease was present in 22 (79%), and 17 (61%) had systemic B-symptoms. The majority (57%) had received 2 or more prior chemotherapy regimens (median, 2; range, 1-5); 6 had had prior fludarabine therapy. Major responses were documented in 32% (9 of 28 patients), with 4 complete remissions (CR) and 5 partial remissions (PR) after a median of 4 cycles (range, 1-9). One CR occurred in one patient with intermediate grade diffuse large cell lymphoma, and three of six patients who had had prior fludarabine therapy experienced CR or PR with cladribine. Severe hematologic toxicities included reversible neutropenia, protracted thrombocytopenia, and lymphopenia. Other reported adverse effects included mild-to-moderate fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. CONCLUSIONS Cladribine is an active single agent in the treatment of patients with refractory or relapsed advanced stage indolent lymphoma, with major responses in one third of patients.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) develops in a variety of clinical states and is the most common tumor seen in patients with HIV-1 infection. KS develops as a multifocal mucocutaneous disease with subsequent spread to visceral organs, and it has been argued to be a benign proliferation caused by its multifocality at initial presentation, lack of aneuploidy, and spontaneous regression upon withdrawal of immunosuppressive agents in iatrogenically induced disease. We wished to determine whether KS lesions are clonal, indicative of a true neoplasm. Also, we tested whether multifocal KS lesions are clonally related, derived from a common progenitor cell or of independent cellular origin. We studied the X-chromosome inactivation pattern of the human androgen receptor gene in tumor biopsies of women with KS. This procedure tests for the clonality of a tissue specimen, a hallmark of neoplasia. Each specimen was microdissected to minimize normal cell contamination. Of 12 evaluable cases, 10 were HIV-seropositive and 2 were HIV-seronegative. Twenty-four biopsies from the 12 patients were examined. Five cases were consistent with individual KS lesions being clonal. In two cases, multiple KS specimens derived from the individual patients had different androgen receptor alleles inactivated, proving unequivocally that these KS lesions arose independently from distinct transformed cells. In seven cases, only a polyclonal pattern of inactivation was observed, whereas two others had tumor areas of both clonal and polyclonal inactivation patterns. These findings suggest that KS can be a clonal neoplasm, and in some of the cases multiple KS lesions in a given patient can arise from independent cellular origins and acquire clonal characteristics. The polyclonal inactivation pattern observed in other KS lesions may represent a premalignant stage or false negative results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of multiagent chemotherapy has been associated with complete remission (CR) in approximately 50% of patients with newly diagnosed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-lymphoma, although additional AIDS-related complications may occur. Both chemotherapy and antiretroviral therapy were employed in an attempt to ascertain if the combination was safe, and associated with changes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) p24 antigen levels during the course of treatment. METHODS Low dose methotrexate, bleomycin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dexamethasone(M-BACOD) chemotherapy and zalcitabine (ddC) were employed in 28 patients. Since both vincristine and zalcitabine may cause peripheral neuropathy, a Phase I/II study design was employed. Serum was analyzed for immune complex dissociated (ICD) HIV p24 antigen and interleukin (IL)-6 levels during therapy. RESULTS CR was achieved in 14 of 25 patients (56%), with partial response (PR) in 5 (20%). CRs were equivalent in patients with good or poor prognostic indicators, including a history of AIDS prior to lymphoma (CR = 60%); and/or CD4 lymphocytes < 200/mm3 (CR = 53%). Five patients with a CR subsequently relapsed (36%); median survival of CR patients was 29.2 months (4.1-61+), whereas that of all of the treated patients was 8.1 months. No significant peripheral neuropathy or other toxicity was observed. Serum ICD p24 antigen levels either fell (7/14) or remained consistently negative (2/14) in 9 of 14 patients (64%), whereas 36% experienced an increase. Elevated serum IL-6 levels at diagnosis were associated with systemic "B" symptoms (P = 0.023), whereas changes in IL-6 correlated with response to therapy over time (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Combination antineoplastic and zalcitabine antiretroviral therapy may be safely administered to patients with AIDS-related lymphoma, resulting in CR in 56%, lack of significant neurotoxicity, and favorable effect on HIV p24 antigen in 50%. Elevation of serum IL-6 is associated with systemic "B" symptoms, whereas changes in serum IL-6 may correlate with response.

Abstract
A population-based case control study of intermediate- and high-grade lymphoma in the County of Los Angeles, CA, was initiated in 1989. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive lymphoma patients are compared to HIV-negative lymphoma patients, to HIV-positive controls with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome but without lymphoma, and to HIV-positive asymptomatic individuals. The HIV-negative lymphoma cases are compared to neighborhood controls, who are matched in terms of age, sex, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. All cases are reviewed for pathology by a single group of pathologists. All cases and controls are studied for HIV, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human herpesvirus 6 antigens and antibodies. Tissues from HIV-positive and -negative cases are studied for immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, presence of EBV and HIV, c-myc oncogene rearrangements, and karyotypic analysis. To date, with 294 lymphoma cases and 181 control cases interviewed, high-grade lymphoma has been diagnosed in 82% of the HIV-positive cases versus 40% of the HIV-negative cases (P = 0.001). Although elevated titers of EBV-viral capsid antigen were demonstrated in 82% of HIV-positive versus 50% of HIV-negative lymphoma cases, the geometric mean titer of EBV-viral capsid antigen is similar among HIV-positive lymphoma cases and HIV-positive controls. The geometric mean titer of human herpesvirus 6 antibodies was similar in HIV-positive and HIV-negative lymphoma cases and in the control populations. Monoclonality was demonstrated in all cases of lymphoma. EBV genome was demonstrated within lymphoma DNA in 68% of HIV-positive and 15% of HIV-negative lymphoma cases. Further study will be required to elucidate the full mechanisms of pathogenesis of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related lymphomas.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA was detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded lymph node biopsies after in vitro DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. Twenty-three of 25 biopsies from HIV seropositive individuals were positive for HIV DNA including 11 with follicular hyperplasia, six with follicular involution, two who were partially involved with Kaposi's sarcoma, one with granulomatous lymphadenitis, and three with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The remaining two biopsies from seropositive individuals lacking detectable HIV DNA also contained non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. An average of 0.0001 to 0.01 HIV DNA copies per cell was estimated to be present in biopsies with follicular hyperplasia or involution. The positive lymphoma biopsies contained approximately tenfold fewer HIV DNA. In contrast, 19 of 20 biopsies from seronegative or low risk individuals were negative for HIV DNA. The sole exception was a seronegative individual with chronic adenopathy from follicular hyperplasia and a history of prostitute contact. The studies demonstrated a high prevalence of HIV DNA in non-lymphomatous lymph node biopsies from HIV infected individuals.

Abstract
Interdigitating reticulum cells (IRC) are dendritic, nonphagocytic histiocytes found in thymus-dependent areas of lymphoid tissues. We report two cases of large cell lymphoma having features of IRC in patients 13 and 17 years old. In each case the diagnosis was suggested by light and electron microscopic features, positive immunoperoxidase staining for S-100 protein, and additional immunoperoxidase findings. Both patients presented with aggressive lymphomas and were treated with intensive combination chemotherapy. Each patient achieved a complete clinical remission, then rapidly relapsed and died with disseminated disease 3 and 9 months after presentation. Novel findings included strong staining of specimens with an antibody to epithelial membrane antigen, staining of one specimen with peanut agglutinin in the pattern previously described in normal IRC, and a DNA content analysis that showed aneuploid stem cell lines in both patients.

Abstract
The histologic features of thymuses from three patients who underwent thymectomy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma in complete clinical remission are described. The thymuses from all three patients were fibrotic with a variability in the appearance of the lobules. Some of the lobules consisted predominantly of epithelial cells with small numbers of mature appearing lymphocytes, while other lobules were expanded and composed predominantly of cells having morphological features of immature lymphoid cells consistent with residual or recurrent disease.

Abstract
OSHA mandated programs of pulmonary cytology among coke oven workers have resulted in detection of a number of unsuspected tumors. While it is too early to determine the eventual impact of these programs, this report describes the detection of a 0.3 cm peripheral lesion, believed to the smallest identified by cytology. In addition to being diminutive, the tumor proved to be of the epidermoid type, unusual for the location. Further investigation is required to determine whether peripheral epidermoid neoplasms are associated with exposure to coke oven vapors.
