The Cancer Preventorium model described here has proven successful in targeting the Hispanic population of a large metropolitan area in the United States to change the point of contact within the health care system from patients with advanced conditions seeking treatment to those screened while presumably healthy to detect disease early.

miR-449a/miR-340 reprogram cell identity and metabolism in fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma.

Cell Rep

Electronic address:

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma, arises in skeletal muscle and remains in an undifferentiated state due to transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators. Among its subtypes, fusion-negative RMS (FN-RMS) accounts for the majority of diagnoses in the pediatric population. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that modulate cell identity via post-transcriptional regulation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

Sex Differences in Melanoma Survival-a GEM study.

JNCI Cancer Spectr

January 2025

University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center, Division of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Preventive Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA.

Sex differences in melanoma are prominent, with females having a significant survival advantage. However, it is unclear why we see this survival advantage. Here we investigate the relationship between sex, clinicopathologic variables, and melanoma specific survival in 1,753 single primary melanomas from patients in the GEM study.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health concern linked to liver disease and cancer, with research focusing on genetic factors that affect its evolution.
  • Recent studies highlighted the ECM1 gene, specifically two polymorphisms (rs3834087 and rs3754217), which may influence HBV pathogenesis, particularly in an African cohort analyzed in this research.
  • The study found that the heterozygous genotype of rs3754217 appears to protect against chronic hepatitis, suggesting that certain genetic variations may impact the severity of the disease in infected individuals.

Atractylenolide I (ATL-I) can interfere with Colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation by changing apoptosis, glucose metabolism and other behaviors, making it an effective drug for inhibiting CRC tumor growth. In this paper, we investigated the interactions between ATL-I and Keratin 7 (KRT7), a CRC-specific marker, to determine the potential pathways by which ATL-I inhibits CRC development. The KRT7 expression level in CRC was predicted online using the GEPIA website and then validated.

A Chinese isolate of the fungus Penicillium chrysogenum was analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry combined with Global Natural Products Social Networking (GNPS) on culture condition leading to the rapid identification of 20 secondary metabolites. Among them are eight polyketones, two phthalides, six diketopiperazine alkaloids, and others. A meleagrine network was examined and proposed as a promising candidate for new natural products.
