Pediatric high-grade neuroepithelial BCOR tandem duplicated tumor: An illustrative case. (PubMed, Surg Neurol Int)
He remains neurologically intact at the past follow-up 9 months after surgery. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of pediatric CNS BCOR-ITD, emphasizing the need to attempt early GTR and multimodal chemotherapy in providing a meaningful functional recovery for this patient.

Claudins proteins in brain tumors: expression patterns and therapeutic target. (PubMed, Biochem Med (Zagreb))
Presented results suggest that CLDNs may serve as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis as well as therapeutic targets in CNS tumors. Further investigation is essential to clarify their clinical relevance and therapeutic potential.

Dramatic Response to Entrectinib in a Rare Glioneuronal Tumor Harboring an NTRK2 Fusion. (PubMed, Oncologist)
This case highlights the essential role of DNA methylation profiling in resolving diagnostic ambiguity and guiding targeted treatment in CNS tumors. It further supports the potential efficacy of entrectinib in NTRK fusion-positive glioneuronal tumors.

Pediatric H3 K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas may consist of two clinically relevant subsets based on patient age and molecular genetic profile. (PubMed, Neurooncol Adv)
We present findings that suggest "adolescent" DMGs carry more favorable prognosis and are molecularly distinct from earlier onset pediatric DMGs. These findings have implications in the design and interpretation of clinical trials, in addition to informing clinical practice.

Quantitative susceptibility mapping for the comprehensive assessment of adult-type diffuse gliomas. (PubMed, Eur J Radiol)
Noninvasive imaging parameters extracted from QSM images can reflect glioma WHO grade, molecular markers, prognosis, and recurrence risk. These preliminary findings showed that the QSM might be a noninvasive imaging biomarker for comprehensive evaluation of adult-type diffuse gliomas.

Integrative bulk and single-cell transcriptomic profiling identifies core gene networks and potential therapeutic targets in glioma. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
The six identified hub genes are consistently downregulated in glioma and exhibit strong diagnostic potential. Their close association with the immune microenvironment and tumor-cell lineage highlights their value as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.

EF24 targets METTL3 to reprogram m6A methylation and induce ferroptosis: an epitranscriptomic mechanism with therapeutical potential for glioma. (PubMed, Cell Commun Signal)
EF24 disrupts this complex through suppressing NRF2 mRNA stability and impairing its protein translation, ultimately depleting GPX4 and triggering ferroptosis cascades. For the first time, our study proposes an epitranscriptomic axis of METTL3/YTHDF1/NRF2/GPX4 as a regulator of ferroptosis in glioma, which may be targeted to design an effective and safe therapeutic strategy.
