Article Synopsis
  • Despite advancements in prenatal care, spontaneous miscarriage is still a prevalent complication affecting more women, with its causes largely unknown.
  • This study investigates the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome and related proteins (like IL-1β, IL-18) in miscarriages by analyzing serum and placental tissue samples from women who have experienced miscarriage compared to a control group.
  • Results show higher levels of NLRP3 and IL-18 in the serum of women with miscarriages and altered expression of key proteins related to apoptosis, suggesting that the inflammasome may contribute to miscarriages linked to oxidative stress rather than those related to NET formation.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) poses a challenge due to its heterogeneity, necessitating precise histopathological subtyping and prognostication for optimal treatment decision-making. Molecular markers emerge as a potential solution, overcoming the limitations of conventional methods and supporting the diagnostic-therapeutic interventions. In this study, we validated the expression of six genes (, , , , , and ), previously identified within a 53-gene signature developed by our team, utilizing gene expression microarray technology.

Proline metabolism has been identified as a significant player in several neoplasms, but knowledge of its role in gliomas is limited despite it providing a promising line of pursuit. Data on proline metabolism in the brain are somewhat historical. This study aims to investigate alterations of proline metabolism in gliomas of WHO grade 4 (GG4) in the context of the brain.

Non-small cell lung cancer is the predominant form of lung cancer and is associated with a poor prognosis. MiRNAs implicated in cancer initiation and progression can be easily detected in liquid biopsy samples and have the potential to serve as non-invasive biomarkers. In this study, we employed next-generation sequencing to globally profile miRNAs in serum samples from 71 early-stage NSCLC patients and 47 non-cancerous pulmonary condition patients.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) encompasses distinct histopathological subtypes, namely adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell lung carcinoma (SCC), which require precise differentiation for effective treatment strategies. In this study, we present a novel molecular diagnostic model that integrates tissue-specific expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) obtained through next-generation sequencing (NGS) to discriminate between AC and SCC subtypes of NSCLC. This approach offers a more comprehensive and precise molecular characterization compared to conventional methods such as histopathology or immunohistochemistry.
