Article Synopsis
- Endometriosis is a painful condition in women that can cause problems with getting pregnant and may increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
- Researchers studied over 370,000 cells from different tissue types related to endometriosis and found that cells behaved differently depending on where they came from.
- They discovered that certain changes in the cells and their functions could play a role in the disease itself and its connection to ovarian cancers.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate differences in genomic characteristics and gene expression between African American (AA) and European American (EA) patients with high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
- A retrospective analysis of 26 patients revealed that while subtype distributions were similar, AAs showed upregulation of 10 specific genes linked to cancer progression and treatment resistance compared to EAs.
- Results indicated potential racial differences in therapeutic responses and underlying biological mechanisms, suggesting that gene expression variations could inform race-based approaches to bladder cancer treatment.
