Article Synopsis
  • - Tumour angiogenesis is crucial for supplying malignant cells with oxygen and nutrients, facilitating their invasion and spread, often resulting in the formation of disorganized and leaky blood vessels due to cytokine activity.
  • - Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT) is elevated in many cancers, acting not only as a necessary enzyme for energy production but also as a pro-inflammatory cytokine that correlates with cancer aggressiveness and prognosis, especially in breast cancer.
  • - In triple-negative breast cancer, eNAMPT promotes angiogenesis and metastasis by attracting NG2 pericytes and activating pro-inflammatory signaling, with potential therapeutic effects demonstrated by neutralizing eNAMPT with an antibody, pointing towards new anti-

Membrane-less compartments and organelles are widely acknowledged for their role in regulating cellular processes, and there is an urgent need to harness their full potential as both structural and functional elements of synthetic cells. Despite rapid progress, synthetically recapitulating the nonequilibrium, spatially distributed responses of natural membrane-less organelles remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the activity of nucleic-acid cleaving enzymes can be localized within DNA-based membrane-less compartments by sequestering the respective DNA or RNA substrates.

Introduction: Surgery is still the main line of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with a current trend for de-intensified treatment based on an excellent prognosis. The role of a routine prophylactic central neck dissection (PCND) is still debated as its impact on oncologic outcomes has never been cleared by a randomized clinical trial. In this study, we aimed to report our long-standing experience in PCND and its potential contemporary role in the treatment of PTC.

Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer that arises sporadically or due to hereditary syndromes. Data on germline variants (GVs) in sporadic ACC are limited. Our aim was to characterize GVs of genes potentially related to adrenal diseases in 150 adult patients with sporadic ACC.
