F-344 rats were inoculated intracerebrally at 1 and at 133 days of age with the Bratislava-77 strain of avian sarcoma virus. Groups of rats were sequentially sacrificed following inoculation so that early stages of microtumor formation could be evaluated. In neonatally inoculated rats incipient tumors developed in the subependymal region of the lateral ventricles in close juxtaposition to clusters of poorly differentiated germinal cells. Among these animals microtumors were detected as soon as 2 weeks after inoculation; by 4 weeks post-inoculation all rats inoculated at 1 day of age had tumors. In contrast among rats inoculated as adults incipient tumors developed in the cerebral cortex away from the subependymal region but adjacent to the locus of inoculation. Incipient tumors were uncommon in rats inoculated as adults during the first 2 months after inoculation.

There is a renewed interest in neutrophil biology, largely instigated by their prominence in cancer. From an immunologist's perspective, a conceptual breakthrough is the realization that prototypical inflammatory, cytotoxic leukocytes can be tamed to promote the survival and growth of other cells. This has sparked interest in defining the biological principles and molecular mechanisms driving the adaptation of neutrophils to cancer.

The development of hepatic metastases is the leading cause of mortality in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and substantial research efforts have been focused on elucidating the intricate mechanisms by which tumor cells successfully migrate to, invade, and ultimately colonize the liver parenchyma. Recent evidence has shown that perturbations in myeloid biology occur early in cancer development, characterized by the initial expansion of specific innate immune populations that promote tumor growth and facilitate metastases. This review summarizes the pathophysiology underlying the proliferation of myeloid cells that occurs with incipient neoplasia and explores the role of innate immune-host interactions, specifically granulocytes and neutrophil extracellular traps, in promoting hepatic colonization by tumor cells through the formation of the "premetastatic niche".

Background: The proximity between people and their domestic animals with wild animal populations can result in the spread of diseases with a significant impact on public health. Infection by parasites in wildlife is considered an important bioindicator of the current state of ecosystems, and studying the epidemiology of these infections is essential for a better understanding of natural foci. However, research on parasites in southern Brazil, especially in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), is considered incipient.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how certain cell types change during and after cancer treatment to better understand how patients respond to therapies like stem cell transplants.
- They found that changes in DNA from mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) happen together with changes in the main DNA during cancer relapses after a transplant.
- By using advanced techniques to analyze these changes, they can distinguish between healthy cells and cancer cells, which could help doctors make better treatment choices in the future.

Objective: To establish baseline ophthalmic parameters for an endangered, semi-wild population of healthy whooping cranes (Grus americana) (WHCR) and Mississippi sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis pulla) (SACR).
Animals Studied: Eighteen WHCR and 16 SACR.
Procedures: Ophthalmic examination was performed by a single observer, followed by conjunctival swab collection for aerobic bacterial culture and measurement of tear production (phenol red thread test, PRTT) and corneal diameter (CD) as tolerated.
