Article Synopsis
  • The WHO Classification of Tumours (WCT) serves as a key guide for cancer diagnosis and research, but it needs updates based on evolving research evidence.
  • A study focused on creating evidence maps for lung and thymus tumors based on the WCT-5, analyzing 1434 studies for lung and 677 for thymus tumors.
  • Findings revealed that the majority of studies had low levels of evidence, with only a small percentage classified as high quality, highlighting the need for improvement in future WCT editions.

Southeast Asian countries are at the forefront of public health pressures due to a confluence of factors such as population growth, urbanization, environmental pollution, and infectious diseases (re)emergence. Therefore, the ability to be able to conduct research addressing local and regional needs is of paramount importance. As such, biobanking activities, the standardized collection of biological samples, and associated data, developed over the past few decades supporting ongoing biomedical and clinical research, as well as surveillance are of critical importance.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to investigate the link between cervical dilatation during dilatation and curettage (D&C) and the risk of preterm delivery in subsequent pregnancies.
  • The analysis compared outcomes of pregnancies following D&C with cervical dilatation versus those without, focusing on preterm delivery rates and other maternal and neonatal outcomes.
  • Results showed no significant difference in preterm delivery rates between the two groups, although higher rates of small for gestational age infants were observed in the D&C group; further research is encouraged to validate these findings.

Background: Autophagy plays multifaceted roles in regulating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the mechanisms involved are under-explored. Regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to target autophagy proteins but their roles in HCC is not well studied. Using HCC patient tissues, this study aims to investigate the association of autophagy with several clinicopathological parameters as well as identifying the autophagy-related miRNAs and the possible pathways.

Studying primordial events in cancer is pivotal for identifying predictive molecular indicators and for targeted intervention. While the involvement of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in cancer is growing, GPCR-based therapies are yet rare. Here, we demonstrate the overexpression of protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2), a GPCR member in the fallopian tubes (FTs) of high-risk BRCA carriers as compared to null in healthy tissues of FT.
