Three-dimensional cell culture conditions promoted the Mesenchymal-Amoeboid Transition in the Triple-Negative Breast Cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death among women, primarily due to its potential for metastasis. As BC progresses, the extracellular matrix (ECM) produces more type-I collagen, resulting in increased stiffness. This alteration influences cellular behaviors such as migration, invasion, and metastasis.

Molecular Characterization of Patients with Cryptorchidism: Preliminary Search for an Expression Profile Related to That of Testicular Germ-Cell Tumors.

Cryptorchidism (CO) is a risk factor for the development of testicular germ-cell tumors (TGCT). This is supported by reports showing the persistence of gonocytes in CO patients. These cells are proposed to be related to the development of germ-cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), which is considered the precursor stage/lesion of TGCT.

Transcriptomic profiles-based approach to decode the role of miR-122 in triple negative breast cancer.

miR-122 has been considered both as tumor suppressor miRNA and oncomiR in breast tumor phenotypes. However, the role of miR-122 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is still unknown. In this study, the clinical value of miR-122 was used to describe the transcriptomic landscape of TNBC tumors obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database.

Deciphering the epigenetic network in cancer radioresistance.

Radiotherapy, in addition to surgery and systemic chemotherapy, remains the core of the current clinical management of cancer. Radioresistance is one of the major causes of disease progression and mortality in cancer; therefore, it is a significant challenge in the treatment of locally advanced, recurrent and metastatic cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms that control hallmarks of cancer have a key role in the development of radiation resistance of cancer cells.
