In modern cancer biology, Hanahan and Weinberg's classic depiction of the Hallmarks of Cancer serves as a heuristic for understanding malignant phenotypes [1]. Genetic determinants of these phenotypes promote cancer induction and progression, and these mutations drive current approaches to understanding and treating cancer. Meanwhile, for over a century, pathologists have noted that profound alterations of nuclear structure accompany transformation, integrating these changes into diagnostic classifications (Figure 1).

Exposure to radiation and chemicals, oncogenic viruses, microbiomes, and inflammation are the major events of cancer initiation. DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations are classically considered the main causes of cancer. The recent idea of epigenetics is broadening the concept, including the suggestion that oncogenic virus infection disrupts various intracellular signaling cascades.

A quarter of a century ago, sickle cell disease (SCD) was mainly viewed as a typical genetic disease inherited as a classical Mendelian trait. Therefore, the main focus concerning SCD was on diagnosis, meaning, genotyping, and identification of homozygous and heterozygous individuals carrying the relevant HbS mutant allele. Nowadays, it is well established that sickle cell disease is indeed the result of homozygosis for the HbS variant, although this single feature is not capable of explaining the highly diverse clinical presentation of SCD.

Through these texts, we learn to appreciate Weber's engagement with classical Chinese philosophy and the global composition of this key idea in the twentieth century.

Since the turn of the century, there has been an increase in the frequency of chronic interstitial nephritis in agricultural communities. This is particularly evident in young farm workers from equatorial regions, where the prevalence of chronic kidney disease cannot be explained by classical risk determinants or exposure to heat stress alone. Potentially causal agents have included organic and inorganic drinking water contaminants.
