Small cell carcinoma of the ovary of hypercalcaemic type: a clinicopathological analysis of sixteen cases (PubMed, Zhonghua Bing Li Xue Za Zhi)
The typical age distribution, a panel of various staining results, especially concomitant loss of BRG1 and BRM may be of diagnostic aid and can be used to distinguish SCCOHT from its histological mimics. After the diagnosis of SCCOHT, genetic testing and genetic counseling are recommended.

Metastatic Mesothelioma of the Tunica Vaginalis Presenting as Scrotal and Abdominal Nodules: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. (PubMed, Am J Dermatopathol)
The International Mesothelioma Interest Group recommends using at least 2 mesothelial markers, such as calretinin, WT1, CK5/6 or D2-40, and 2 epithelial markers, such as claudin-4, CEA, MOC-31, as well as a broad-spectrum cytokeratin stain (AE1/AE3) as part of an initial immunohistochemical panel. Metastatic mesothelioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of malignant epithelioid dermal tumors with unusual staining patterns.

Wilms Tumor With Raised Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein: Highlighting the Need for Novel Circulating Biomarkers. (PubMed, Pediatr Dev Pathol)
The resection specimen was comprised of ~55% and ~45% stromal and epithelial elements, respectively, with no anaplasia, but immunohistochemistry using AFP staining revealed positive mucinous intestinal epithelium, consistent with the serum AFP observations. The lack of correlation between tumor response and serum AFP levels in this case highlights a more general clinical unmet need to identify WT-specific circulating tumor markers.

Conformation-selective rather than avidity-based binding to tumor associated antigen derived peptide-MHC enables targeting of WT1-pMHC low expressing cancer cells by anti-WT1-pMHC/CD3 T cell engagers. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
The augmented avidity conferred by the binding of two anti-WT1-HLA-A*02:01 Fab arms has only minimal influence on cell killing potency. These findings demonstrate the need for careful examination of key design parameters for the development of next-generation T cell engagers targeting low density TAA-pMHCs on tumor cells.

Real-World Experience with Selinexor -Containing Regimens in Post-Transplant AML/MDS Patients Who MRD Still Positive after First-Line Preemptive Treatment (ASH 2023)
The selinexor-containing regimens used in this study were either selinexor (35mg/m 2 biw) alone or in combination with other drugs (decitabine, azacytidine, venetoclax, low-dose cytarabine, and CAG (cytarabine, aclarubicin, G-CSF) regimen). Selinexor-containing regimens have been shown to be effective and well tolerated in post-transplant AML/MDS patients with MRD-positive, including those who have failed first-line preemptive treatment.

High-grade Serous Carcinoma can Show Squamoid Morphology Mimicking True Squamous Differentiation. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
In conclusion, HG-SC can on rare occasions show a "squamoid component" mimicking "squamous differentiation." However, the "squamoid component" in HG-SC does not represent true "squamous differentiation." The "squamoid component" is one part of the morphologic spectrum of HG-SC, which should be interpreted carefully for the differential diagnosis of HG-SC and EC. An immunohistochemical panel including p40, p53, p16, and WT1 is a useful adjunct to achieve a correct diagnosis.

MORPHOLOGICAL PHENOTYPE ATLAS OF THE KIDNEY IN THE DEVELOPING C57BL/6 MICE (ISN-WCN 2023)
Since different developmental stages have distinct inherent morphological changes which could affect the interpretation of the final results, special attention should be given when selecting the age of C57BL/6 mice for individual settings. The availability of the morphology atlas of the kidney would be a new and significant resource for mechanistic investigations and testing of potential therapeutic interventions.

Persistence of Mutations in Complete Remission Including DNMT3A, TET2 and ASXL1 Mutations Is Associated with Worse Prognosis in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treated in ALFA 0702 Study (ASH 2022)
In the homogeneously treated ALFA-0702 population, MRD-NGS positivity after the first induction course predicts shorter LFS and OS independently of ELN17 risk stratification. Detection of a higher number of mutations in CR is associated with a worse prognosis. Contrary to previous studies accruing older patients treated less intensively persistence of DTA mutations has similar prognostic relevance than non-DTA mutations.

Mechanism of action of DSP-7888 (adegramotide/nelatimotide) Emulsion, a peptide-based therapeutic cancer vaccine with the potential to turn up the heat on non-immunoreactive tumors. (PubMed, Clin Transl Oncol)
DSP-7888 Emulsion can promote both cytotoxic and helper T-cell-mediated immune responses against WT1-positive tumors. Adegramotide enhances CTL numbers, and the CTLs induced by treatment with both nelatimotide and adegramotide are capable of functioning within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The ability of anti-PD-1 to enhance the antitumor activity of DSP-7888 Emulsion in mice implanted with WT1-positive tumors suggests the potential for synergy.
