Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an intermediate-grade fibroblastic neoplasm commonly seen in young and middle-aged patients and rarely in pediatric patients. Fibrosarcomatous transformation is common in adults but extremely uncommon in children. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old child who presented with a progressively enlarging subcutaneous mass in the knee.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas are classified as astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma based on the recent application of mutation, mutation, and 1p/19q co-deletion. Astrocytomas classically show and mutations, whereas oligodendrogliomas are defined by 1p/19q co-deletion. However, there are reports of gliomas that harbor both astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma morphologically and molecularly.

Primary intracranial sarcomas constitute a rare group of tumors, with the most common types described in the literature being chondrosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) is a high-grade sarcoma that sometimes metastasizes to the brain. However, a primary intracranial DDLS is exceedingly rare.

Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) is a nuclear protein primarily recognized for its role in the development and differentiation of thyroid, lung, and certain diencephalic tissues. Although well-established as an immunohistochemical marker in thyroid and lung cancers, recent studies have explored its expression and diagnostic value in primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. This systematic review aims to consolidate current knowledge on TTF-1 immunohistochemistry in primary CNS tumors, assessing its prevalence, diagnostic utility, and clinical implications.

Article Synopsis
  • The study presents a new phagemid-based system that produces CRISPR-Cas13a-loaded antibacterial capsids (AB-capsids) specifically targeting multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
  • By optimizing phagemid copy numbers, researchers achieved higher yields and purity of AB-capsids, illustrating a direct relationship between phagemid quantity and capsid production.
  • The developed AB-capsids effectively eliminate targeted S. aureus strains while leaving non-target strains unharmed, showcasing their potential as effective tools against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
