Exploring for integrative signals guiding intracellular circadian clock synchronization: discovery of the BMAL1-ISR phenomenon (PubMed, Nihon Yakurigaku Zasshi)
Furthermore, mathematical simulation analysis supported the notion that increased phosphorylation levels of BMAL1 and its subsequent nuclear localization could serve as a driving force for phase shifts in the circadian oscillatory system. In conclusion, our findings suggest that BMAL1-ISR acts as a key integrative "switching signal" linking diverse synchronization cues to molecular clock oscillations.

Therapy and biomarker dependent progression-free survival in infant sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma: a multi-national retrospective cohort study. (PubMed, EClinicalMedicine)
Upfront CTx only regimens used were classified into three groups to reflect disease treatment conventions: standard-dose, high-dose (intensified regimens of sufficient dosage to require stem cell support) and those including intraventricular methotrexate (IVT-MTX)...With outcomes established, clinical trials are now encouraged to focus on quality-of-life following different intensified approaches to identify the kindest curative strategies.

Development and validation of a machine learning model to evaluate survival in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer with liver metastasis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The calibration curves indicated good agreement and DCA confirmed the clinical utility of the model. The proposed nomogram demonstrated robust predictive performance for patients with breast cancer and liver metastases and may provide valuable prognostic information, pending further validation.

HK2 knockdown is associated with context-dependent inflammatory and angiogenesis-related transcriptional programmes in glioblastoma cells. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
These findings suggest that HK2KD is associated with transcriptional changes extending beyond glycolytic pathways, linking metabolic activity to immunological and angiogenic transcriptional networks in a model-dependent manner. Although functional effects on the tumour microenvironment were not directly assessed, this study provides a transcriptomic framework for understanding how HK2 targeting may be associated with changes in tumour-associated signalling pathways, with potential implications for stratified metabolic and combination therapeutic strategies in glioblastoma.

Nanopore-based DNA methylation profiling for rapid molecular classification of NOS/NEC CNS tumors: multi-institutional evaluation using FFPE archives and frozen tissues. (PubMed, Acta Neuropathol Commun)
Nanopore sequencing enables rapid, accurate, multidimensional molecular classification of diagnostically intractable CNS tumors using routine FFPE and frozen tissue, achieving high diagnostic resolution in comparison with reference methods while drastically reducing turnaround time and cost, making precision neuropathology feasible beyond quaternary centers.

These suggest that only βCD increases NRF2 and ROS as an adaptive response of A172 cells. The incorporation of amphiphilic dendritic groups enables efficient cellular uptake of βCD-dendronized containers.

Pan-TRK expression and NTRK gene aberrations in meningiomas: association with tumor grade and proliferative activity. (PubMed, J Pathol Clin Res)
However, NTRK gene aberrations are rare, necessitating FISH or next-generation sequencing confirmation for pan-TRK-positive cases to identify candidates for TRK-targeted therapy. Further studies are needed to clarify the biological role of non-fusion-mediated pan-TRK overexpression in meningioma progression.
