Article Synopsis
  • The expression of p16, a potential marker for high-risk HPV, was observed in 20% of NSCLC cases, but none of the HPV-positive tumors exhibited p16 expression, raising questions about p16's reliability as a surrogate for HPV infection.
  • The study found a significant relationship between p16 expression and the pathological stage of cancer, but no overall survival impact was noted, aside from a meaningful association in squamous cell carcinoma cases.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the prevalence of HER2 protein expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) among Jordanian patients, analyzing 100 surgically resected cases from King Hussein Cancer Center between 2009 and 2021.
  • Findings revealed that HER2 overexpression (score 3+) was found in only 2% of cases, with no significant correlation between HER2 expression and various clinicopathological factors, including age, gender, and smoking status.
  • The research indicated that while overall HER2 expression had no impact on survival rates, advanced tumor stages and positive lymph node metastasis correlated with poorer overall outcomes.

Animal embryogenesis requires a precise coordination between morphogenesis and cell fate specification. During mesoderm induction, mesodermal fate acquisition is tightly coordinated with the morphogenetic process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In zebrafish, cells exist transiently in a partial EMT state during mesoderm induction.

The activation and transformation model of vertebrate nervous system formation posits that neural tissue is initially induced, or activated, with anterior forebrain character. Once established, a subset is then transformed into the more posterior midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord by signals emanating from the posterior of the embryo. This has been a predominant model in the field for decades.
