Real-world insights into the prevalence and prognostic significance of trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 and folate receptor alpha in uterine carcinosarcoma. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Complete resection and advanced stage were suggested as prognostic factors in UCS. FRα and Trop-2 are increasingly recognized as therapeutic targets and their elevated expression levels in the epithelial component of UCS are promising, although not associated with prognosis in this cohort.

Decellularized lymph node sections with preserved extracellular matrix for stromal cell culture. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Decellularized LNs had comparable collagen and GAG concentrations to native tissue, and immunofluorescence staining showed the presence of other ECM proteins. Decellularized sections sustained 21-day FRC culture, enabled FRC-T cell co-culture, and supported high-resolution imaging and flow cytometric analyses, revealing altered gp38 and PDGFRα expression in FRCs relative to 2D culture.

The efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer: an update systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
MIRV demonstrates significant efficacy and an acceptable safety profile in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. Its use in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with high FRα expression represents a particularly promising Therapeutic approach. Furthermore, the combination of MIRV and bevacizumab shows substantial potential for improving outcomes in patients with platinum-resistant disease.

Prognostic implications of HER2 in ovarian cancer: Associations with homologous recombination deficiency and folate receptor alpha expression. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol)
HER2 overexpression is relatively common and had prognostically relevant in BRCA1/2-mutated/HRD and in mucinous or clear cell OC. Further clinical trials are warranted to optimize use of HER2- and FRα-targeted ADCs in these group.

Involvement of the Endothelial N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor on Vessel-Associated Positioning and Differentiation of Cortical Oligodendrocytes and on Motor Activity. (PubMed, J Neurosci)
These molecular, cellular, and functional phenotypes are associated with neonatal and long-term motor impairments. Our findings highlight the contribution of the endothelial NMDA receptor on the differentiation of oligodendrocytes entering the sensorimotor cortex along microvessels.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine in the ovarian cancer treatment landscape: influence of prior taxane exposure on outcomes. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Cancer)
Real-world experience with mirvetuximab demonstrated a favorable safety profile and clinical benefit in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Taxane therapy immediately preceding mirvetuximab was associated with shorter overall survival but not increased neurotoxicity.
