Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and usually presents as an indolent disease. However, some patients present poor outcomes, and FL can transform into more aggressive lymphomas, such as Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small RNA molecules that participate in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, that are emerging biomarkers in cancer. In this systematic review, we included studies evaluating miRNA expression in tumor tissue as diagnosis, transformation or prognosis biomarkers in FL. We identified several miRNAs, which could be diagnostic biomarkers in FL: miR-155-5p and miR-9-3p as miRNAs of potential utility for diagnosis of FL, and miR-150 and miR-17-92 cluster for differential diagnosis between FL and DLBCL. Prognosis and transformation prediction have not been studied in enough depth to draw solid conclusions. Further research is needed to exploit the potential of this field.

The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged the rapid development and licensing of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Currently, numerous vaccines are available on a global scale and are based on different mechanisms of action, including mRNA technology, viral vectors, inactive viruses, and subunit particles. Mass vaccination conducted worldwide has highlighted the potential development of side effects, including ones with skin involvement.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence, genotype distribution, and associations with cervicovaginal microbiota and cytokine profiles among South African women, where cervical cancer ranks as the second most common cancer. PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science were searched for studies on HPV infection up to 21 September 2024. The pooled prevalence was estimated using a random-effects model, with subgroup analyses by province, sample type, and HIV status.

As natural predators of bacteria, tailed bacteriophages can be used in biocontrol applications, including antimicrobial therapy. Also, phage lysis is a detrimental factor in technological processes based on bacterial growth and metabolism. The spectrum of bacteria bacteriophages interact with is known as the host range.

Food contamination with non-typhoidal (NTS) presents a significant public health risk, underscoring the critical need for rigorous food safety measures throughout the production, distribution, preparation, and consumption stages. Conventional diagnostic strategies are time-consuming and labor-intensive and are thus sub-optimal for throughput NTS detection. Bacteriophages (phages) are highly specialized bacterial viruses and exhibit extreme specificity for their hosts.
