Unraveling syndrome-driven osteosarcoma: genetic insights and therapeutic frontiers. (PubMed, Orphanet J Rare Dis)
However, the rarity and heterogeneity of syndrome-related osteosarcomas pose significant challenges for diagnosis and treatment, including difficulties in early detection, incomplete elucidation of molecular mechanisms, and limitations of conventional therapeutic approaches. This article aims to systematically review the clinical characteristics, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic challenges of these syndromes, providing a comprehensive reference for clinicians and directions for future research.

Naringin Mitigates Synergistic Brain Aging Model Induced by D-Galactose and Gamma Radiation via Targeting Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Senescence. (PubMed, J Biochem Mol Toxicol)
Collectively, these findings highlight naringin's therapeutic potential in mitigating brain aging by targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. This study offers a robust experimental framework for investigating senescence and supports naringin as a promising candidate for intervention in age-related neurodegenerative disorders.

Chromosome 3p deletion leads to extensive genomic alterations in diverse cancers and confers synthetic lethality in uveal melanoma. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We further show that MITF, MYC, and GNAQ/GNA11 form coupled regulatory feedback loops in the melanocyte lineage, and MITF deletion in UVM creates acute dependency on MYC-mediated rescue via chr8q amplification, often as a consequence of isochromosome formation. The discovered feedback loops predict both overall and relapse-free patient survival within the most aggressive UVM subtype, explain sensitivity to therapeutic gene perturbations, and inform effective combinatorial therapies.

Identification and inhibition of the Cyclin D Rb-docking interface that drives cell division. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
The specific interface of cyclin D's A2' helix is unique among cyclins and its mutation slows proliferation. Taken together, our work identifies a cyclin D-substrate docking mechanism that can be targeted by novel cancer therapeutics.

Mutations with prognostic value in uveal melanoma. Analytical study of variants detected by targeted NGS. (PubMed, Can J Ophthalmol)
Mutations in BAP1, CHEK2, and DICER1 are independently associated with poorer prognosis in UM, while SF3B1 defines a distinct histologic subgroup. Routine mutational profiling by targeted NGS may aid in risk stratification and follow-up of UM patients.

Retinoblastoma in Argentina: study of germline variants of the RB1 gene (PubMed, Medicina (B Aires))
This study allowed us to describe the genetic variants of the RB1 gene in Argentine pediatric patients with retinoblastoma. The distribution and types of variants observed in this patient group are similar to those described in other populations. Currently, next-generation sequencing is in the process of being incorporated in order to describe variants with higher throughput technology.

Post-Traumatic Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (Masson Tumor) of the Eyelid. (PubMed, J Craniofac Surg)
No recurrence was observed during follow-up. This case underscores the extreme rarity of eyelid involvement and emphasizes that, despite a history of trauma, accurate subtype classification of IPEH relies on histopathologic rather than clinical findings.

The role of enucleation in the development of nystagmus in children with retinoblastoma. (PubMed, J AAPOS)
In our study cohort, nystagmus occurred in a minority of children, predominantly at presentation rather than as a consequence of enucleation, and was strongly associated with RB1 mutation and early disease onset. These findings provide reassurance for families that unilateral enucleation in infancy rarely induces nystagmus when the fellow eye is healthy.
