In glioblastoma, glioma-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs) represent the major population of tumor infiltrating cells, with up to one half of the cells of the tumor mass. Recent studies have shown that microglia are involved in the maintenance of immunological homeostasis and protection against autoimmunity. However, despite the growing body of evidence on the topic, many aspects are yet to be clarified.

Papulopustular rosacea is an inflammatory subtype of rosacea that can significantly impair patients' quality of life. Available treatment options range from anti-inflammatory topical and oral medications to laser and light therapies. Photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) has emerged as a more recent treatment option for papulopustular rosacea.

Mitochondrial oxygen tension (MitoPO2) is a promising novel non-invasive bedside marker of circulatory shock and is associated with organ failure. The measurement of mitoPO2 requires the topical application of 5-aminolevulinc acid (ALA) to induce sufficient concentrations of the fluorescent protein protoporphyrin-IX within (epi)dermal cells. Currently, its clinical potential in guiding resuscitation therapies is limited by the long induction time prior to obtaining a reliable measurement signal.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder characterized by prolonged, unexplained fatigue and challenging diagnosis. We report the case of a 35-year-old Japanese woman with CFS who had experienced chronic fatigue since the age of 11 years. Despite treatment with modafinil, methylphenidate, levocarnitine, and ubiquinone, the symptoms persisted.

The probiotic strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) with high biocompatibility and susceptibility to genetic modification is often applied in bacterial therapies for cancer. However, most studies have used plasmids as vectors to construct engineering strains from EcN. Plasmid-based expression systems suffer from genetic instability, and they need antibiotic selective pressure to maintain high copy number.
