Predictive role of SLC1A5 in neuroblastoma prognosis and immunotherapy.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background: Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, demonstrates significant clinical heterogeneity, ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive metastatic disease. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains associated with poor survival. SLC1A5, a key glutamine transporter, plays a dual role in promoting tumor growth and immune modulation.

BMC Cancer
January 2025
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Affiliated Gaozhou People's Hospital, Guangdong Medical University, Maoming, 525200, P.R. China.
Background: DNA hypomethylation and uracil misincorporation into DNA, both of which have a very important correlation with colorectal carcinogenesis. Folate plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, acting as a coenzyme in one-carbon metabolism, which involves the synthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and methyl groups. MTHFR, a key enzyme in folate metabolism, has been widely studied in relation to neural tube defects and hypertension, but its role in colorectal cancer remains underexplored.

BMC Cancer
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, University of Cologne and Institute for Health Economics and Clinical Epidemiology, University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
Background: Patients who actively engage in their medical decision-making processes can experience better health outcomes. This exploratory study aimed to identify predictors of preferred and actual roles in decision-making in healthy women with BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants (PVs).
Methods: Women with BRCA1/2 PVs without a history of breast and/or ovarian cancer were recruited in six centres across Germany.
Background: Drivers of COVID-19 severity are multifactorial and include multidimensional and potentially interacting factors encompassing viral determinants and host-related factors (i.e., demographics, pre-existing conditions and/or genetics), thus complicating the prediction of clinical outcomes for different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) variants.

Department of Medicine and Robarts Research Institute, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, Western University, 4288A-1151 Richmond Street North, London, ON, N6A 5B7, Canada.
Clinical endpoints caused by hyperlipoproteinemia include atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and acute pancreatitis. Emerging lipid-lowering therapies targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9), lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein C-III, and angiopoietin-like protein 3 represent promising advances in the management of patients with hyperlipoproteinemia. These therapies offer novel approaches for lowering pathogenic lipid and lipoprotein species, particularly in patients with serious perturbations who are not adequately controlled with conventional treatments or who are unable to tolerate them.
