Article Synopsis
- - Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare, mostly benign tumors originating from mesenchymal tissue, often found in the pleura, and typically identified incidentally during imaging studies due to their asymptomatic nature.
- - Diagnosis requires a biopsy since imaging alone is insufficient; key markers for SFTs include CD34 and NAB2-STAT6, with a specific risk-stratification model assessing metastasis potential based on patient age, tumor size, mitotic count, and necrosis.
- - Treatment primarily involves surgical removal of the tumor, with long-term imaging follow-up for potential recurrence; current studies show no significant benefits from post-surgery radiation or chemotherapy.
Identifying the mechanisms behind neuronal fate specification are key to understanding normal neural development in addition to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. cell fate specification is difficult to study in vertebrates. However, the nematode , with its invariant cell lineage and simple nervous system of 302 neurons, is an ideal organism to explore the earliest stages of neural development.
