Papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) of the thyroid is its papillary carcinoma (TPC), which measures 1 cm or less (WHO). According to autopsy data, the incidence of PMC that cannot be identified during a patient's life is 1 to 36%. Proliferative activity was analyzed in 75 cases of PMC, by immunohistochemical assays using antibodies to the proliferation markers Ki-67, cycline DI, and MCM2 in paraffin block slides. The proliferative activity of PMC with a size of 1-7 mm is much decreased as compared with that with a size of 8-10 mm and TPC with a larger size. The proliferative activity of PMC with a size of 8-10 mm does not differ from that of PPC of a larger size. The proliferative activity of PMC does not correlate with the presence of tumor metastases or depend on the presence of a tumor capsule, but it is significantly increased in the tumors with some high-grade component PMC more than 50% and in those with invasion.

Objective: Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Protein kinase B (AKT) protein is associated with many pathways in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), such as proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. Mushrooms have a long history of being used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases.

Adoptive cell therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can mediate tumor regression, including complete and durable responses, in a range of solid cancers, most notably in melanoma. However, its wider application and efficacy has been restricted by the limited accessibility, proliferative capacity and effector function of tumor-specific TIL. Here, we develop a platform for the efficient identification of tumor-specific TCR genes from diagnostic tumor biopsies, including core-needle biopsies frozen in a non-viable format, to enable engineered T cell therapy.

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation addresses critical challenges in fertility preservation for prepubertal female cancer patients, such as the lack of viable eggs and hormonal deficiencies. However, mitigating follicle and granulosa cell damage during freeze-thaw cycles remains an urgent issue. Luteinizing hormone (LH), upon binding to luteinizing hormone receptors (LHR) on granulosa cells, enhances estrogen synthesis and secretion, contributing to the growth of granulosa cells and follicles.

Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (dTGCT) is a destructive but rare benign proliferative synovial neoplasm. Although surgery is currently the main treatment modality for dTGCT, the recurrence risk is up to 50%. Therefore, there is a great need for effective drugs against dTGCT with minor side effects.

Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL) arises from an aberrant chromosomal translocation involving the Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha (RARA) gene, predominantly with the Promyelocytic Leukaemia (PML) or Promyelocytic Leukaemia Zinc Finger (PLZF) genes. The resulting oncoproteins block the haematopoietic differentiation program promoting aberrant proliferative promyelocytes. Retinoic Acid (RA) therapy is successful in most of the PML::RARA patients, while PLZF::RARA patients frequently become resistant and relapse.
