Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) has a median survival of <2 years. Pexidartinib (PLX3397) is a small-molecule inhibitor of CSF1R, KIT, and oncogenic FTL3, which are implicated in GBM treatment resistance. Results from glioma models indicate that combining radiation therapy (RT) and pexidartinib reduces radiation resistance.

In sun-drenched regions, balancing solar exposure for thermal comfort and minimization of cooling energy presents a key challenge. While passive shading mitigates summer heat gain, it also hinders winter solar benefits, a problem that is echoed by active systems such as photovoltaic panels. Existing adaptive solutions, adjusting to seasonal sun angles, offer flexibility, but introduce complexity, maintenance demands, and potentially higher costs.

Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the most common endocrine neoplasia, with its incidence increasing in the last 40 years worldwide. The determination of genetic and/or protein markers for thyroid carcinoma could increase diagnostic precision. Accumulated evidence shows that Protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) contributes to tumorigenesis and therapy resistance in cancer.
