CAV2-expressing nerves induce metabolic switch toward mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to promote cancer stemness. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
This interplay observed between cancer cells, neurons, and glial cells suggests a potential mechanism through which tumor-associated nerves might influence cancer stemness via metabolic reprogramming. This highlights a possible direction for anticancer therapy that warrants further investigation.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue in Captive Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta). (PubMed, J Med Primatol)
The clinical manifestations and pathological examination of the three cases were consistent with the characteristics of highly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, immunohistochemical analysis revealed positive expression of p63, CK5/6, p40, CK19, CK7, and CK20. In three cases, the results of human papillomavirus were negative. This study provides an important reference for the diagnosis of TSCC in rhesus monkeys.

The prognostic value of lymphatic vessel density in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol)
The major conclusion of this study is that overall LVD is an indicator of aggressiveness of TSCC and a negative prognostic factor strongly associated with nodal metastasis. LVD assessment can improve risk stratification and lead to personalized treatment approaches in TSCC management.

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 expressed in satellite glial cells in the trigeminal ganglion contributes to tongue-cancer-associated pain. (PubMed, J Oral Biosci)
MMP9, which originates from activated satellite glial cells in the TG, post-SCC inoculation, contributes to tongue-cancer-associated pain.

Adipocytes enhance tongue cancer progression potentially via IL-6 and extracellular vesicles. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
We conclude that adipocytes increase the proliferation of cancer cells and enhance their motility without direct cell contact. The protumourigenic effect of adipocytes is likely mediated by secreted cytokines, such as IL-6, and transported via EVs.

MTHFD2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of FOXO1 promote tongue squamous cell carcinoma progression. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Res)
Critically, pharmacological inhibition of MTHFD2 (e.g., DS18561882) blocks FOXO1 degradation, establishing the MTHFD2-FOXO1 axis as a promising therapeutic target for TSCC through its novel metabolic-epigenetic regulatory mechanism. Implications: This study identifies the MTHFD2-FOXO1 axis as a druggable metabolic-epigenetic pathway in TSCC, providing both a prognostic marker and a therapeutic target.

A Case of Rare Adipocytic Tumor of the Tongue: Lipoblastoma-Like Tumor With RB1 Gene Deletion. (PubMed, Cureus)
This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of differentiating LLTs from spindle cell lipomas (SCLs), particularly in the context of pRB deficiency and RB1 deletion. This case exemplifies the molecular heterogeneity of neoplasms with lipoblastoma-like features.

The Biological and Prognostic Implications of the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor α3, α5, and α7 Subunits in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
Differential expression of CHRNA3, CHRNA5, and CHRNA7 indicates different EMT states in OSCC/HNC, influencing proliferation, differentiation, cell adhesion, immune reactions, and treatment efficacy, and warrants further experimental validation.

Fenestrating Adenocarcinoma: A Novel Salivary Gland Cancer With EWSR1::BEND2 Fusion and Predilection for the Pharynx. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
A tissue microarray (TMA) stained with an antibody directed against the BEND2 protein showed no significant staining in any other salivary tumor type. The constellation of findings in this cohort is highly suggestive of a specific entity, and we propose the appellation "Fenestrating Adenocarcinoma (FAC)" of the salivary gland.
