Metal-organic cages (MOCs) have been considered as emerging zero-dimensional (0D) porous fillers to generate molecularly homogeneous MOC-based membrane materials. However, the discontinuous pore connectivity and low filler concentrations limit the improvement of membrane separation performance. Herein, we propose the dimension augmentation of MOCs in membranes using three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular MOC networks as filler materials in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs).

Polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC) is a low-grade malignant tumour of minor salivary glands of the oral cavity, which rarely presents with invasive features. Low metastatic and excellent survival rates are some of its favorable features. A 36-year-old woman reported with swelling, pain, and mobility of teeth in the left upper inner cheek region.

Polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young (PLNTY) is a rare central nervous system (CNS) pathology predominantly observed in the pediatric population. Ependymomas also exhibit a peak incidence in early childhood, with rare presentations after early adulthood. In this report, we describe a rare case of a 41-year-old man diagnosed sequentially with a polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young, followed by a supratentorial ependymoma within a year.

Phenotypic and epigenetic heterogeneity in FGFR2-fused glial and glioneuronal tumours.

Aims: FGFR-fused central nervous system (CNS) tumours are rare and are usually within the glioneuronal and neuronal tumours or the paediatric-type diffuse low-grade glioma spectrum. Among this spectrum, FGFR2 fusion has been documented in tumours classified by DNA-methylation profiling as polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumours of the young (PLNTY), a recently described tumour type. However, FGFR2 fusions have also been reported in glioneuronal tumours, highlighting the overlapping diagnostic criteria and challenges.

To investigate the clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular genetic characteristics of microsecretory adenocarcinoma (MSA) of the salivary gland, and to improve the understanding of this rare tumor. Cases originally diagnosed as MSA at the Department of Oral Pathology, the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively collected. The cases of polymorphous adenocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified from January 2000 to January 2020 were reviewed to identify potential misdiagnosed MSA cases.
