Macrophages in the Mammary Gland Stem Cell Niche: A Double-Edged Sword in Tissue Regeneration and Tumor Initiation. (PubMed, Bioessays)
Targeting TRMs early in cancer development could delay, or even prevent, malignant initiation. More broadly, we propose that TIC-niche crosstalk constitutes a tractable vulnerability, and that incorporating TRM-directed interventions alongside conventional and immune-based therapies may shift the balance toward durable tumor control.

Metatypic Carcinoma of the Pancreas: Delineation of a Clinicopathologically Distinct Entity, Characterized by Centrally Necrotic Demarcated High-Grade Carcinoma With Divergent Patterns, Basal Immunophenotype, and Altered Molecular Profile. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
It is the first pancreatic carcinoma type in which a basal molecular phenotype can be indicated clinically by both imaging and histopathology, with major potential management implications (as it is also enriched in actionable targets like ARID1A). Recognition of this category is critical for cancer research, as it offers an invaluable group to study plasticity, stroma versatility, necrosis mechanisms, and the basal type in pancreatic cancer.

Beyond neurons: Impact of cannabidiol on glial cells in ischemic stroke. (PubMed, Neural Regen Res)
Despite these promising effects, clinical translation is hindered by a lack of standardized formulations, dosing regimens, and human trials. This review highlights the impact of cannabidiol on glial cell activity in ischemic stroke, proposing it as a multi-target agent with therapeutic potential in post-stroke recovery and neuroprotection.

Gross Intrahepatic Mass Formation Predicts the Primary Site of Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma Based on Molecular Pathologic Studies. (PubMed, J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci)
Gross intrahepatic mass formation indicates an intrahepatic contextual profile and provides a useful criterion for subclassifying hCCA. This contextual framework shows that hCCA-M and hCCA-NM represent biologically distinct tumor groups.

Significance of MALAT1 long non-coding RNA and miR-20a-5p in regulating epithelial mesenchymal transition in luminal breast cancer patients. (PubMed, J Egypt Natl Canc Inst)
Our findings suggest that miR-20a-5p plays an oncogenic role in luminal breast cancer by promoting EMT, while MALAT1 may contribute to disease progression through indirect regulatory mechanisms. Finally, MALAT1 and miR-20a-5p might serve as potential therapeutic and prognostic targets in LBC.

Pediatric intramedullary spinal tumors: Pathological and clinical outcomes in a 96-case single-institution cohort study. (PubMed, Neurol Sci)
Astrocytoma was the most prevalent pathology in this study. H3K27M mutation did not significantly affect survival in high-grade spinal astrocytoma, while high Ki-67 and p53 expression correlated with poorer prognosis. Tumor length was associated with short-term but not long-term neurological function. Long-term neurological outcomes were mainly linked to inherent tumor properties and postoperative neurological status; postoperative PLR changes may partly indicate long-term neurological function.

HSF4 alleviates ferroptosis in colorectal cancer through transcriptional regulation of MBOAT1/2. (PubMed, Funct Integr Genomics)
This study found that HSF4 overexpression markedly attenuated Erastin-induced cell death and mitochondrial damage in HT29 and HCT116 cells...In vivo experiments, MBOAT1/2 knockdown effectively reduced tumor volume and downregulated the number of Ki-67-positive cells, GPX4, and SLC7A11, while upregulating ACSL4. In conclusion, HSF4 alleviates ferroptosis in CRC cells and facilitates tumor progression by upregulating MBOAT1/2 transcription, thereby limiting lipid peroxidation and Fe2+ accumulation.

Copy-number amplification drives IFI30 overexpression and coordinated immune activation, identifying a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target in gastric adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Its high expression integrates tumor-intrinsic programs (cell cycle, EMT, hypoxia) with tumor-extrinsic immune activation, predicts differential drug sensitivities, and outperforms established biomarkers in forecasting response to immune-checkpoint blockade-particularly in MSI-high disease. These findings nominate IFI30 as a promising diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

Integrating network toxicology, machine learning, and molecular dynamics simulations to reveal tanshinone iia's dual mechanisms in TNBC and doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Our analyses reveal that Tan IIA regulates 13 core targets of Dox cardiotoxicity-with enrichment in pathways including canonical cancer and small cell lung cancer pathways-and that six of these targets exhibit high binding affinity for Tan IIA or Dox; notably, machine learning prioritized the histone methyltransferase EZH2 as the central target for Tan IIA's anti-TNBC activity, and we further show EZH2 is highly expressed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) tissues and correlates positively with infiltration of immune cells (e.g., B cells, CD4⁺ T cells) and expression of immune-related molecules (including immunosuppressors and MHC-associated antigen-presenting molecules). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Tan IIA may mitigate Dox cardiotoxicity via modulation of targets such as APAF1, AR, and TERT (and their associated signaling cascades) while targeting EZH2 to exert anti-TNBC effects, providing a mechanistic framework for repurposing Tan IIA to improve the safety and efficacy of Dox-based BC therapy.

Multiomics analysis reveals that senescent CXCL16+ macrophages promote lung adenocarcinoma progression through TGF-β signalling. (PubMed, J Transl Med)
CXCL16 promotes macrophage senescence, and senescent CXCL16+ macrophages drive LUAD progression through TGF-β signalling. These findings identify CXCL16+ macrophages as a biologically and therapeutically relevant immune cell population, highlighting a potential target for precision intervention in LUAD.
