Murine xenograft models are valuable and increasingly used preclinical tools in cancer research to understand disease pathogenesis and guide treatment options. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the studies that employed mouse xenograft models, using cell lines, patient-derived tumors, or organoids, in endometrial cancer (EC) research, detailing their methodology and main findings. We identified 27 articles reporting on heterotopic EC xenografts, including subcutaneous, subrenal capsule, intraperitoneal, and retro-orbital models, and 18 articles using orthotopic xenografts.

Retinoids are metabolic derivatives of vitamin A and play crucial roles in the regulation of various tissues and organs during prenatal and postnatal development. Active retinoids, like all-trans-retinoic acid, are synthesized in the cytoplasm and subsequently interact with nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARα, RARβ, and RARγ) to enhance transcription of specific genes. In the absence of retinoids, RARs can still bind to response elements of target genes but repress their transcription.

Backgroud: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is difficult to characterize and classify on simple radiographs. Therefore, we attempted to evaluate intraobserver and interobserver reliability of simple radiography and computed tomography (CT) for detecting and classifying HO after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). It was hypothesized that CT would provide more reliable results than simple radiography.

Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is a psychophysical experimental measure of endogenous pain inhibition in humans. Within this paradigm, one noxious stimulus, the conditioning stimulus (CS), reduces the pain perception from another heterotopic noxious stimulus, the test stimulus (TS). Cognitive processes are known to influence pain perception and might impact the underlying mechanisms of CPM.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established and effective treatment for advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint. While commonly performed in older patients, THA is increasingly used in younger individuals, especially in cases of secondary coxarthrosis. Technological advances have led to the development of specialized implants, which allow surgeons to address severe post-inflammatory or dysplastic deformities.
