Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-3 (MAPK3) Is the Main Target of Microsecond Pulsed Electric Field in Human Medulloblastoma. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
It can be concluded that, down-regulation of MAPK3 and KIT and up-regulation of BMP4 which are the consequence of microsecond PEF treatment inhibit medulloblastoma. The results exhibited the significant role of MAPK3 in response to microsecond PEF treatment.

POSTN+ fibroblast‑secreted small extracellular vesicles drive macrophage M2 polarization through BMP4/BMPR2/Smad signaling. (PubMed, Oncol Rep)
Additionally, sEVs derived from CAFs with POSTN knockdown reduced bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4 expression in macrophages, thereby inhibiting M2 polarization through the BMP receptor 2/Smad pathway. Collectively, these findings revealed that a POSTN+ fibroblasts fosters an immunosuppressive microenvironment via sEV‑mediated macrophage polarization, nominating POSTN as a potential therapeutic target to overcome ICB resistance in HNSCC.

Polyphenols as Modulators of the BMP Signaling Pathway to Counter Phenotypic Transformation of Colonocytes. (PubMed, Mol Nutr Food Res)
Our findings suggest that targeting the colonic BMP signaling pathway through dietary factors could contribute to the prevention of CRC. Apig-rich foods or supplements may play a role in this preventive nutrition, although further in vivo experiments are needed to confirm this potential.

In silico reconstruction of the gene network for cytokine regulation of ASD-associated genes and proteins. (PubMed, Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii)
Notably, eight of the 21 prioritized cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-4, VEGFA, IL-2, IL-1β, IFN-γ, IL-17) are known targets of drugs currently used as immunosuppressants and antitumor agents. The pivotal role of these cytokines in ASD pathogenesis provides a rationale for potentially repurposing such inhibitory drugs for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders.

Interrelationship Between SHH and TGF-beta in the Formation of Odontomas. (PubMed, Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol)
In developing teeth, the highest concentrations of these proteins were found in the odontogenic epithelium during the bud and cap stages. Differential expression occurred mainly in the ectomesenchyme of tumors, indicating that this component is indeed more proliferative.

Luffa cylindrica flower extract induces apoptosis and autophagy in breast cancer cells. (PubMed, Pak J Pharm Sci)
LCFE exerts an anti-tumor effect by activating apoptosis and autophagy processes in breast cancer cells, while having low cytotoxicity for normal breast cells, highlighting the potential of LCFE as a natural agent for cancer treatment.

Obesity-induced taste bud loss in mice is only partially remediated long after return to a healthy weight. (PubMed, Int J Obes (Lond))
Overall, data demonstrate that obesity has a persistent effect on taste buds long after excess weight is lost.

PIK3R1 acts as a prominent biomarker for tumor immune microenvironment modulation in intravenous leiomyomatosis. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)
This study has conducted an in-depth analysis of the molecular expression, immune microenvironment characteristics, and related mechanisms of IVL. Further studies on larger cohort are warranted to demonstrate the potential value of inhibiting PIK3R1 as the adjuvant medicine for IVL therapy.

Extracellular Matrix Degradation Products Inhibit Esophageal Cancer Cell Proliferation and Migration. (PubMed, Tissue Eng Part A)
These findings support the concept that biochemical cues from nonmalignant ECM modulate neoplastic cell behavior. Given the involvement of PI3K-Akt and BMP4 signaling in EAC progression, ECM-based strategies may warrant further investigation as potential therapeutic approaches following esophageal cancer resection.

Virtual Clinical Trials of BMP4 Differentiation Therapy: Digital Twins to Aid Successful Glioblastoma Trial Design. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Targeting glioma stem cells with BMP4 provides a novel opportunity to shift the complex cellular ecosystem of gliomas to enhance treatment efficacy. Mathematical modelling can facilitate optimal patient tumor feature selection when designing successful clinical trials.

Targeting tumor-intrinsic BCL9 reverses immunotherapy resistance by eliciting macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and antigen presentation. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
This in turn rejuvenates T cell immunity via enhanced macrophage-mediated antigen presentation. Our data extend our understanding of how tumor-derived Wnt/β-catenin signaling impedes the innate and adaptive immune responses in the tumor microenvironment and provide preliminary evidence that targeting BCL9 is a promising preclinical strategy to mitigate ICI resistance in HCC.
