Primary yolk sac tumor of the liver is extremely rare in adults. We report a case of a young man with an unresectable primary yolk sac tumor of the liver, who had a platinum-refractory disease that progressed despite 2 lines of chemotherapy. We review the literature pertaining to primary yolk sac tumor of the liver and its management.

A rare case of huge intracranial yolk sac tumor presenting as an orbital mass in an infant: case report and literature review.

Primary intracranial yolk sac tumor (YST) with orbital involvement is an exceedingly rare extragonadal germ cell tumor, with only a limited number of cases reported in the literature. Clinically, primary intracranial yolk sac tumor with orbital involvement may present with symptoms that mimic more common benign or malignant orbital disorders in children, potentially leading to diagnostic delays that can adversely impact survival. Diagnostic imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are instrumental for assessing the tumor's size, precise localization, and extent.

Primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) of the uterus is a particular tumour that bears high similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma histologically, and may easily be misdiagnosed because it is rare if you don' t remember it. In this report, we describe two cases of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing HAC of the uterus. Case 1 was a 69-year-old postmenopausal woman who was presented to the hospital for a medical examination.

Objectives: Natural killer (NK) cells are important immune system effector cells providing innate defenses against intracellular infections, including viral infections, immune surveillance, and cancer immunoediting. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether modified ultra-filtrated colostrum (UC) and hydrolyzed whey (W) products or their combinations with other natural products with reported immunomodulatory properties will stimulate NK cell cytotoxic activity by activation of granzyme B and IFN-γ production.
Methods: The ability of study products to stimulate the cytotoxic activity of human-purified CD56 NK cells and the production of granzyme B and IFN-γ by activated NK cells was evaluated in the cytotoxic assay.
Semen extender triggers a mild physiological inflammatory response in the uterus without disrupting sperm-uterine immune crosstalk in vitro in cattle.

Artificial insemination (AI) in cattle involves introducing frozen-thawed sperm, a minimal amount of seminal plasma, and a significant volume of semen extender (SE) into the uterus. Previous studies have demonstrated that sperm interacts with bovine endometrial epithelia via TLR 2/1, triggering a weak inflammatory response to clear the endometrium. This study investigated the impact of the major component of the insemination dose, egg yolk-based SE, on the uterine immune response in vitro.

The mosquito fat body is the principal source of yolk protein precursors (YPP) during mosquito egg development in female . To better understand the metabolic and signaling pathways involved in mosquito reproduction, we investigated changes in the mosquito fat body phosphoproteome at multiple time points after a blood meal. Using LC/MS, we identified 3570 phosphorylated proteins containing 14,551 individual phosphorylation sites.
