We hypothesized that murine double minute X (MDMX), a negative p53-regulator, may be involved in dysfunctional p53-signaling in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive and ALK-negative, characterized frequently by non-mutated . By western blot analysis, MDMX was highly expressed in ALK + ALCL and expressed at variable levels in ALK- ALCL cell lines. By immunohistochemistry, high MDMX levels were observed more frequently in ALK + ALCL (36/46; 78%), compared with ALK- ALCL tumors (12/29; 41%) ( < .0018, Mann-Whitney-test). analysis showed -amplification in 1 of 13 (8%) ALK- ALCL tumors, and low-level MDMX copy gains in 2 of 13 (15%) ALK- ALCL and 3 of 11 (27%) ALK + ALCL tumors. MDMX-pharmacologic inhibition or -mediated -silencing were associated with activated p53 signaling, growth inhibition and apoptotic cell death in ALCL cells, providing evidence that targeting MDMX may provide a new therapeutic approach for ALCL patients with .

A reader of the peer-reviewed neuroscience literature will often encounter expressions like the following: 'the brain is a dynamic system', 'the brain is a complex network', or 'the brain is a highly metabolic organ'. These expressions attempt to define the essential functions and properties of the mammalian or human brain in a simple phrase or sentence, sometimes using metaphors or analogies. We sought to survey the most common phrases of the form 'the brain is…' in the biomedical literature to provide insights into current conceptualizations of the brain.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a malignant and life-threatening tumor with an extremely poor prognosis, posing a significant global health challenge. Despite the continuous emergence of novel therapeutic agents, patients exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their responses to anti-tumor drugs and overall prognosis. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is highly activated in various tumor cells and plays a pivotal role in tumor metabolic reprogramming.

Purpose: Since fibroblast activation protein (FAP), one predominant biomarker of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), is highly expressed in the tumor stroma of various epidermal-derived cancers, targeting FAP for tumor diagnosis and treatment has shown substantial potentials in both preclinical and clinical studies. However, in preclinical settings, tumor-bearing mice exhibit relatively low absolute FAP expression levels, leading to challenges in acquiring high-quality PET images using radiolabeled FAP ligands (FAPIs) with low molar activity, because of which a saturation effect in imaging is prone to happen. Moreover, how exactly the molar dose of FAPI administered to a mouse influences the targeted PET imaging and radiotherapy remains unclear now.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly malignant tumor characterized by a significant propensity for recurrence and metastasis. DNA methylation has emerged as a critical epigenetic mechanism with substantial utility in cancer diagnosis. In this study, multi-omics data were utilized to investigate the target genes regulated by the transcription factor MYC-associated zinc finger protein (MAZ) in ccRCC, leading to the identification of thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) as a gene with notably elevated expression in ccRCC.
