Introduction: This scoping review was done to study the immunohistochemical biomarkers involved in the pathogenesis and malignant transformation of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), in literature published from 2010 to 2021.
Method: The protocol was adapted from the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual (2017), and reported according to the PRISMA guidelines for Scoping Reviews.
Results: Eighty-six studies included in this review reported 84 immunohistochemical (IHC) biomarkers in OSF: 10 epithelial markers, 28 connective tissue markers, 22 proliferative markers, and 24 other biomarkers that are transcription factors, cancer stem cell markers, cell signaling markers, proteins, and enzymes. The commonly reported IHC biomarkers were alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and E-cadherin (seven articles each) followed by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CD34 (six articles each), p53, p63, and Ki67 (five articles each). α-SMA, Ki67, CD105, and hTERT were significantly increased in oral squamous cell carcinoma arising in a background of OSF (OSCC-OSF) compared with OSF and normal subjects.
Conclusion: The identified surrogate IHC biomarkers reported in OSF in this scoping review require validation with long-term prospective studies to facilitate early diagnosis, for use in risk assessment, and plan appropriate treatment for OSF in clinical practice.

Early-stage cutaneous melanoma patients generally have a favorable prognosis, yet a significant proportion of metastatic melanoma cases arise from this group, highlighting the need for improved risk stratification using novel prognostic biomarkers. The Dutch Early-Stage Melanoma (D-ESMEL) study introduces a robust, population-based methodology to develop an absolute risk prediction model for stage I/II melanoma, incorporating clinical, imaging, and multi-omics data to identify patients at increased risk for distant metastases. Utilizing the Netherlands Cancer Registry and Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank, we collected primary tumor samples from early-stage melanoma patients, with and without distant metastases during follow-up.

The immune composition of solid tumors is typically inferred from biomarkers, such as histologic and molecular classifications, somatic mutational burden, and PD-L1 expression. However, the extent to which these biomarkers predict the immune landscape in gastric adenocarcinoma-an aggressive cancer often linked to chronic inflammation-remains poorly understood. We leveraged high-dimensional spectral cytometry to generate a comprehensive single-cell immune landscape of tumors, normal tissue, and lymph nodes from patients in the Western Hemisphere with gastric adenocarcinoma.

This study leverages amyloid and tau PET imaging, along with CSF Phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and alpha-synuclein measurements from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) to investigate the impact of co-pathology on cognitive functions.
Method: We conducted an analysis using ADNI data (Table 1) from the 2024-01-08 download, including results from the CSF alpha-Synuclein Seed Amplification Assay (SAA, 2023-09-29 release, 1637 samples out of 1638 records included in the analysis).

Background: Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is often described as occurring in older individuals, either with or without co-occurring neurodegenerative disease. Because the presence of LATE can only be determined post mortem, little is known about the clinical and neuroimaging features of LATE. The current study aims to assess the correlation between LATE and MRI-measured amygdala and hippocampal volume in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy Body Diseases (LBD), including Parkinson's disease (PD), PD dementia, and dementia with Lewy Bodies METHODS: Post-mortem in-situ 3DT1 3T-MRI data were collected for 51 cases (27 AD and 24 LBD) of which 17 had post-mortem confirmed LATE neuropathological change (9 AD and 8 LBD), as well as 34 non-LATE (18 AD and 16 PD) donors (matched on age, sex, and Braak stage).

Immunohistochemically stained TDP-43 is linked to faster rates of hippocampal atrophy (HA) in AD. However, it is unclear whether phosphorylated TDP-43 (pTDP-43) measured using an immunoassay is also associated with HA.
