Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) represent 85% of lung tumors. NSCLCs encompass multiple cancer types, such as adenocarcinomas (LUADs), squamous cell cancers (LUSCs), and large cell cancers. Among them, LUADs and LUSCs are the largest NSCLC subgroups. LUADs and LUSCs appear sharply distinct at the transcriptomic level, as well as for cellular control networks. LUADs show distinct genetic drivers and divergent prognostic profiles versus LUSCs. Therapeutic clinical trials in NSCLC indicate differential LUAD versus LUSC response to treatments. Hence, LUAD and LUSC appear to be vastly distinct diseases at the molecular, pathological, and clinical level. Abandoning the notion of NSCLC may critically help in developing novel, more effective subtype-specific molecular alteration-targeted therapeutic procedures.

This essay explores the affective maps or emotional archives of racialized communities in Spain, specifically focusing on the Caribbean Afro-diaspora in Madrid. It questions how migratory grief is prescribed by the government without taking into account the colonial wound, racial trauma, and the geopolitics of emotions, while delving into everyday structural racism. Drawing from decolonial theory and Black feminism, as well as narrative healing practices created by migrant collectives, qualitative research was conducted during the period 2023-2024, involving 25 in-depth interviews and two group workshops with the participation of 15 anti-racist activists.

What is a cure through gene therapy? An analysis and evaluation of the use of "cure".

Article Synopsis
- The paper explores the concept of "cure" in gene therapy, particularly for hemophilia, highlighting the ambiguity surrounding its meaning in medical discussions.
- It identifies three interpretations of "cure": normalization of the body, achieving a normal life, and a change in identity, arguing that context is key for each use.
- The authors suggest that in gene therapy, it's more effective to move away from the term "cure" and adopt more specific definitions to guide health resource decisions and research funding.

Sex and gender-related factors are strongly associated with patients' illness trajectories, underscoring their essential role in epidemiological research and healthcare. Ignoring sex and gender in research and health inevitably results in inequities between women and men in terms of detection of disease, preventative measures, and effectiveness of treatment. Historical influences, including ideas of female inferiority and conservative notions of women's health only comprising reproductive health, reinforced the perceived irrelevance of sex and gender to health.
