AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a rare renal tumor. Only 4 cases of CCSK with vascular thrombus have been reported, and 2 of these were pediatric cases. One of the children had an intraatrial thrombus as well. We describe a 3-year-old boy who was diagnosed as having a Wilms tumor but did not respond to preresection chemotherapy. He underwent complete resection of the tumor under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histologic examination indicated that the tumor was a CCSK. The patient was then managed with appropriate chemotherapy and radiation therapy and is well 16 months after diagnosis.

Oxygen controls most metazoan metabolism, yet in mammals, tissue O levels vary widely. While extensive research has explored cellular responses to hypoxia, understanding how cells respond to physiologically high O levels remains uncertain. To address this problem, we investigated respiratory epithelia as their contact with air exposes them to some of the highest O levels in the body.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures produced and released into the extracellular space by all types of cells. Due to their characteristics, EVs play crucial roles in cellular communication and signaling, holding an immense potential as biomarkers and molecular transporters. Various methods have been developed to label and characterize EVs, however, visualizing EVs remains a process that requires highly specialized and expensive equipment, which is not always available in all the laboratories.

Purpose: A human model able to simulate the manifestation of corneal endothelium decompensation could be advantageous for wound healing and future cell therapy assessment. The study aimed to establish an ex vivo human cornea endothelium wound model where endothelium function can be evaluated by measuring corneal thickness changes.
Methods: The human cornea was maintained in an artificial anterior chamber, with a continuous culture medium infusion system designed to sustain corneal endothelium and epithelium simultaneously.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (KIRC) is the most prevalent subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accounting for 70% to 80% of all RCC cases. The CRYAB (αB-crystallin) gene is broadly expressed across various human tissues, yet its role in KIRC progression remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the function of CRYAB in KIRC progression and to assess its potential as a biomarker for early diagnosis, therapeutic targeting, and prognosis.
