Oral amelanotic melanoma in a 73-year-old patient: A rare case report and literature review. (PubMed, J Clin Exp Dent)
Clinically, the case was challenging because it mimicked a non-neoplastic proliferative process and, microscopically, presented as an amelanotic variant. An immunohistochemical panel is recommended to avoid diagnostic pitfalls; this is the first report of TRP-2 immunoexpression in oral amelanotic melanoma.

Gelatin-methacryloyl hydrogel stiffness influences epithelial-mesenchymal transition in MCF7 but not MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in 3D culture. (PubMed, Biol Open)
This study demonstrates the impact of microenvironmental stiffness on breast cancer cell phenotype and highlights 3D GelMA hydrogels as a platform to investigate tumour microenvironment dynamics. The findings provide insights into how matrix stiffness influences EMT and breast cancer behaviour in biomimetic settings.

GPX4 Inhibitor Resistance and Metastatic Features in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Small molecule inhibitors such as RSL3 and ML210 trigger ferroptosis by targeting glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a key enzyme that neutralizes lipid peroxides. Tumors derived from GPX4i-resistant cells compared to parental cells had unique metabolic and lipidomic profiles, were associated with a shift toward an epithelial-like state (decreased vimentin, increased EpCAM expression), formed decreased spontaneous metastases from primary tumors, but had no differences in overall metastatic burden upon intravenous injection. Collectively, these data demonstrate that long-term maintenance with GPX4-inhibitors in vitro leads to altered metastatic profiles in vivo.

Connexin 32 constrains a mesenchymal-like switch in differentiated urothelium and luminal cancers. (PubMed, Life Sci Alliance)
Our findings identify Cx32 cell-cell communication as suppressing migratory and proliferative behaviours in normal urothelial differentiation and suggest that Cx32 assessment, within the context of luminal muscle-invasive bladder cancer, can predict more invasive biology. This reveals the potential for differentiated cancers to exhibit EMT.

Spontaneous regression of intraoral spindle cell carcinoma with subsequent regional nodal metastasis - A unique case report with review of literature. (PubMed, J Oral Maxillofac Pathol)
A literature review revealed very few documented instances of SR in oral malignancies, often following diagnostic procedures, potentially due to biopsy-induced immune activation and alterations in the tumour microenvironment. This case underscores the enigmatic nature of SR in oral cancers and highlights the need for long-term surveillance, while raising important considerations about immune mechanisms and their potential therapeutic implications in head and neck oncology.

Decoding myoepithelioma: Highlighting diagnostic dilemmas through a series of rare cases. (PubMed, J Oral Maxillofac Pathol)
Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are the best myoepithelioma diagnostic methods. Malignant myoepithelioma must be ruled out by thorough invasion testing.

The Airway As the First Signal of Relapse: Metachronous Endobronchial Metastasis From Cutaneous Melanoma. (PubMed, Cureus)
Pembrolizumab was initiated, but disease progression ultimately occurred after several months, accompanied by functional decline...Endobronchial metastasis should be considered in patients with a remote history of melanoma presenting with new respiratory symptoms. Prompt diagnosis through bronchoscopy and immunohistochemistry enables timely implementation of palliative and supportive management.

PKMYT1/FOXM1/Snail Axis Promotes Metastasis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma by Inducing Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition. (PubMed, Cell Biol Int)
Inhibition of the FoxM1/Snail/EMT pathway reversed PKMYT1-induced metastasis in mice. Collectively, our findings identify the PKMYT1/FoxM1/Snail axis as a driver of ccRCC metastasis via EMT induction, highlighting PKMYT1 as a potential therapeutic target for ccRCC.

Pathological features and clinical outcomes of hemangioblastoma in the spinal cord of three dogs. (PubMed, J Vet Med Sci)
Immunohistochemically, neoplastic stromal cells were immunolabeled for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neuron specific antigen (NSE), and vimentin, and capillary endothelia and vessel walls were immunolabeled for CD31 and smooth muscle actin (SMA). Postoperative follow-up revealed improvements in neurological symptoms and no evidence of tumor recurrence for 3 months to 3 years, suggesting that surgical excision is a beneficial treatment method.

Suppressive role of SCN4B in the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition of lung adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Oncol Rep)
Notably, restoring SCN4B levels suppressed LUAD cell viability, migration and invasion in vitro, accompanied by inhibition of EMT. These findings highlighted SCN4B as a potential tumor suppressor and a promising therapeutic target for LUAD.

Atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the skull: a case report of temporal bone involvement and comprehensive literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Accurate diagnosis relies on careful histopathologic evaluation and exclusion of histologic mimickers using a comprehensive immunohistochemical panel. Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, and long-term follow-up is recommended due to the tumor's intermediate malignant potential.

Establishment and characterization of primary epithelial cell cultures from healthy canine mammary gland tissue. (PubMed, Front Vet Sci)
This study provides the first detailed protocol for establishing primary CMG epithelial cultures and validates their suitability as a reference model for future oncological studies. Overall, this platform supports translational research, including drug testing and biomarker discovery, contributes to personalized veterinary therapies and enhanced understanding of mammary gland pathology in both dogs and humans.
