  • Lymphoproliferative diseases involve various types of malignant lymphocyte growth, making diagnosis challenging due to their diverse presentations and characteristics.
  • Flow cytometry has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing T-cell disorders, particularly when the number of cancerous cells is low.
  • A case study of a 55-year-old man with two distinct T-cell clones highlights the importance of accurate diagnostic methods, as the patient's quick decline prevented a conclusive identification of one of the clones.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has high mortality and recurrence rates. Malignancy resilience is ascribed to Glioblastoma Stem Cells (GSCs), which are resistant to Temozolomide (TMZ), the gold standard for GBM post-surgical treatment. However, Nitric Oxide (NO) has demonstrated anti-cancer efficacy in GBM cells, but its potential impact on GSCs remains unexplored.

Background And Aim: Vascular leiomyosarcomas are rare and generally originate from the muscular wall of the inferior vena cava. Leiomyosarcomas originating from the wall of the gonadal veins are rare and just about ten cases are described in literature. In the present paper, we have described a case of a LMS originating from the left gonadal vein.

The () gene was discovered about 40 years ago and shown to be required for both mitotic and meiotic cell division. Subsequent studies showed that is highly conserved and that mutations in its human ortholog (; or ) are the most common cause of autosomal recessive primary microcephaly. This finding greatly stimulated research on and its fly and mouse () orthologs.
