Retromer mediates retrograde transport of protein cargos from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). γ-secretase is a protease that cleaves the transmembrane domain of its target proteins. Although retromer can form a stable complex with γ-secretase, the functional consequences of this interaction are not known.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma and affects an estimated 1,500 people annually in the United States. DFSP frequently exhibits extensive local infiltration. Initial treatment is through surgical excision, and care should be taken to ensure that negative margins are achieved to minimize recurrence.

Article Synopsis
  • - PDEMA, previously known as CCPDMA, allows for complete histologic visualization of tumor margins, which helps in accurately removing cancerous tissue while preserving healthy tissue.
  • - It is the preferred treatment method by NCCN for certain skin cancers due to its high cure rates, with Mohs micrographic surgery being the most common PDEMA technique used in the U.S.
  • - The article discusses the differences between Mohs and Tubingen PDEMA techniques, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between surgeons and pathologists, and includes a step-by-step Tubingen protocol with visual aids.

Unlabelled: Rab GTPases control intracellular vesicular transport, including retrograde trafficking of human papillomavirus (HPV) during cell entry, guiding the virus from the endosome to the Golgi network (TGN), the Golgi apparatus, and eventually the nucleus. Rab proteins have been identified that act prior to the arrival of HPV at the TGN, but Rab proteins operating in later stages of entry remain elusive. Here, we report that knockdown of Rab6a impairs HPV entry by preventing HPV exit from the TGN and impeding intra-Golgi transport of the incoming virus.
