Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies.

Cancer neuroscience has emerged as a transformative frontier in oncology research, focusing on the interplay between cancer cells and the nervous system. Cancer cells establish tumorspecific neural networks within tumor tissues via neurotrophic hijacking. The nervous system regulates tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis either directly by regulating signal transduction in tumor cells or indirectly by modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME). The positive feedback loop between cancer cells and nerves promotes tumor progression. Deciphering the regulatory role of nerves in tumor prog

Hypophosphatasia: Results of a Country-Wide Selective Screening Program Using NGS Technology as a First-Tier Test.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder caused by nucleotide variants (NVs) in the ALPL gene, leading to a deficiency of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). HPP has a variable clinical presentation (such as impaired mineralization of bones and teeth, respiratory dysfunctions, muscle weakness, muscle and bone pain, growth deficiency, nephrocalcinosis, seizures, encephalopathy, intracranial hypertension, and intellectual disability) overlapping with other disorders which often delays a correct diagnosis. In this study, we present the results of a two-center (

Редкое дерматологическое проявление фолликулярных смешений у пациента с множественной миеломой и конечной стадией почечной болезни при гемодиализе: отчет по делу.

Множественная миелома (ММ) — гематологическая порча, характеризующаяся клональным расширением злокачественных плазменных клеток в костном мозге, что приводит к различным системным осложнениям. Хотя резкие проявления MM редки, фолликулы представляют собой весьма специфический, но редкий дерматологический вывод, связанный с MM. В настоящем исследовании представлен пример 59-year-old Человек с MM, который демонстрировал фолликулярный акантоз и гиперкератоз в качестве скромных индикаторов злодеяний.

The Circular Life of Human CD38: From Basic Science to Clinics and Back.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were initially considered as a possible "magic bullet" for in vivo elimination of tumor cells. mAbs represented the first step: however, as they were murine in nature (the earliest experience on the field), they were considered unfit for human applications. This prompted the development of techniques for cloning the variable regions of conventional murine antibodies, genetically mounted on human IgG. The last step in this years-long process was the design for the preparation of fully human reagents. The choice of the target molecule was also problematic, since canc

Comprehensive molecular profiling of 718 Multiple Myelomas reveals significant differences in mutation frequencies between African and European descent cases.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with significantly greater incidence and mortality rates among African Americans (AA) compared to Caucasians (CA). The overall goal of this study is to elucidate differences in molecular alterations in MM as a function of self-reported race and genetic ancestry. Our study utilized somatic whole exome, RNA-sequencing, and correlated clinical data from 718 MM patients from the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation CoMMpass study Interim Analysis 9. Somatic mutational analyses based upon self-reported race corrected for ancestry revealed significan

Biochemical and Clinical Impact of Organic Uremic Retention Solutes: A Comprehensive Update.

In this narrative review, the biological/biochemical impact (toxicity) of a large array of known individual uremic retention solutes and groups of solutes is summarized. We classified these compounds along their physico-chemical characteristics as small water-soluble compounds or groups, protein bound compounds and middle molecules. All but one solute (glomerulopressin) affected at least one mechanism with the potential to contribute to the uremic syndrome. In general, several mechanisms were influenced for each individual solute or group of solutes, with some impacting up to 7 different biolo

Hematopoietic stem cell microtransplantation: current situation and challenges.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) stands as a cornerstone in the treatment of hematological malignancies, recognized for its remarkable efficacy. However, the persistent challenge of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) continues to represent a significant barrier, often being the leading cause of nonrelapse mortality after allo-HSCT. To address this limitation, hematopoietic stem cell microtransplantation (MST) has emerged as a novel therapeutic strategy that synergistically combines chemotherapy, allo-HSCT, and cellular immunotherapy. This innovative approach is desi

Aqueous Extract of Cimicifuga dahurica Reprogramming Macrophage Polarization by Activating TLR4-NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

PurposeCimicifuga dahurica (C. dahurica), which has been used in traditional oriental medicine for a long period, was reported to exert extensive antitumor activity, but the effect and molecular biological mechanism of C. dahurica on multiple myeloma (MM) has not been elaborated. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exhibit a sustained polarization between tumor killing M1 subtype and tumor supporting M2 subtype. And a lower ratio of M1/M2 is associated with tumor angiogenesis, proliferation and invasion. We explored the inhibitory effect of the aqueous extract of the root of C. dahurica (CRAE)

Current Uses of Mushrooms in Cancer Treatment and Their Anticancer Mechanisms.

Cancer is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Various chemotherapeutic drugs have been extensively used for cancer treatment. However, current anticancer drugs cause severe side effects and induce resistance. Therefore, the development of novel and effective anticancer agents with minimal or no side effects is important. Notably, natural compounds have been highlighted as anticancer drugs. Among them, many researchers have focused on mushrooms that have biological activities, including antitumor activity. The aim of this review is to discuss the anticancer potential of different mushroom

Vertebral Primary Bone Lesions: Review of Management Options.

The assessment and treatment of vertebral primary bone lesions continue to pose a unique yet significant challenge. Indeed, there exists little in the literature in the way of compiling and overviewing the various types of vertebral lesions, which can often have complicated intervention strategies. Given the severe consequences of mismanaged vertebral bone tumors-including the extreme loss of motor function-it is clear that such an overview of spinal lesion care is needed. Thus, in the following paper, we aim to address the assessment of various vertebral primary bone lesions, outlining the re

Curcumin and Its Derivatives as Anticancer Agents in Head and Neck Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms and Preclinical Evidence

Head and neck cancer (HNC), particularly oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), remains a major clinical challenge due to its aggressive behavior, high recurrence rates, and frequent resistance to conventional therapies. Natural compounds, especially curcumin and its derivatives, have gained increasing attention as potential anticancer agents due to their ability to target multiple molecular pathways involved in tumor progression. This review critically evaluates the current preclinical and translational evidence supporting curcumin and its derivatives as monotherapeutic agents in HNC, with part

Inflammation in cancer: therapeutic opportunities from new insights.

As one part of the innate immune response to external stimuli, chronic inflammation increases the risk of various cancers, and tumor-promoting inflammation is considered one of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Recently, there has been growing evidence on the role of anti-inflammation therapy in cancer prevention and treatment. And researchers have already achieved several noteworthy outcomes. In the review, we explored the underlying mechanisms by which inflammation affects the occurrence and development of cancer. The pro- or anti-tumor effects of these inflammatory factors

Advances in the research on myokine-driven regulation of bone metabolism.

The traditional view posits that bones and muscles interact primarily through mechanical coupling. However, recent studies have revealed that myokines, proteins secreted by skeletal muscle cells, play a crucial role in the regulation of bone metabolism. Myokines are widely involved in bone metabolism, influencing bone resorption and formation by interacting with factors related to bone cell secretion or influencing bone metabolic pathways. Here, we review the research progress on the myokine regulation of bone metabolism, discuss the mechanism of myokine regulation of bone metabolism, explore

Prospects and Advances in Adoptive Natural Killer Cell Therapy for Unmet Therapeutic Needs in Pediatric Bone Sarcomas.

Malignant bone tumors are aggressive tumors, with a high tendency to metastasize, that are observed most frequently in adolescents during rapid growth spurts. Pediatric patients with malignant bone sarcomas, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, who present with progressive disease have dire survival rates despite aggressive therapy. These therapies can have long-term effects on bone growth, such as decreased bone mineral density and reduced longitudinal growth. New therapeutic approaches are therefore urgently needed for targeting pediatric malignant bone tumors. Harnessing the power of the immune
