- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the immune microenvironment and survival outcomes in patients with vulvovaginal melanoma.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 42 patients, examining tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and genetic mutations, with significant findings on immune cell presence related to better disease-free survival.
- The researchers concluded that specific types of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes could indicate disease progression and response to treatments, suggesting the need for further multicenter studies to confirm these results.
Recurrent oncogenic drivers have been identified in a variety of sweat gland tumors. Recently, integration of human papillomavirus type 42 (HPV42) has been reported in digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA). The main objectives of the present study were (i) to provide an overview of the prevalence of previously identified oncogenic drivers in acral sweat gland tumors and (ii) to genetically characterize tumors in which no recurrent genetic alteration has been identified yet.

- Habitat anthropization negatively impacts global biodiversity, but some species show adaptive life-history responses, like increased reproduction, to cope with these changes.
- The study focused on the yellow-bellied toad and utilized a large dataset of over 21,000 individuals from various European populations to examine the effects of anthropogenic environments on their survival and reproduction.
- Results indicated that while adult toads had lower survival and shorter lifespans in human-modified habitats, their increased reproductive output compensated for these losses, helping to maintain stable population growth rates despite habitat alterations.
