Immunohistological examinations are useful for the histopathological diagnosis of breast carcinoma in various clinical situations. This review article aims to summarize the different immunohistological options. A distinction is made between diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers. Especially when a therapeutic decision results from the immunohistological expression pattern, a quantitative, quality-controlled, and validated diagnostic approach is essential.This is relevant, for example, for the classical markers ER, PR, and HER2, but also for Ki-67 and additional markers such as PD-L1. This article provides a practice-oriented summary of the most important immunohistochemical markers in routine breast cancer diagnosis and for the distinction of malignant findings from benign alterations or precursor lesions.

Angiosarcoma can be defined as a malignant neoplasm arising from the lining of the blood and lymphatic vessels, including the endothelial cells. It can occur in any body part, such as blood vessels, skin, liver, and breast. Its incidence varies based on the site.

Article Synopsis
  • Corneal epithelial defects heal as new cells grow from the limbus, but effective topical treatments are lacking; human breast milk (HBM) contains bioactive molecules that may aid epithelial healing, prompting this study to explore its effectiveness.
  • In a mouse model, defects were created and treated with HBM, a standard ophthalmic ointment, or saline, with results analyzed at multiple time points using various methods like fluorescein, RT-qPCR, and ELISA.
  • Results indicated that HBM-treated corneas showed significantly better re-epithelialization and increased cellular proliferation markers (Ki67) within 8 hours of treatment, suggesting that HBM can enhance corneal wound healing and may warrant further research on limbal

Article Synopsis
  • Allograft rejection is a significant challenge in organ transplantation, and this study investigates the effects of recombinant human IL-37 (rhIL-37) in improving graft survival in a mouse model.
  • The research found that rhIL-37 treatment led to long-term acceptance of transplanted hearts by reducing immune cell infiltration and modulating cytokine profiles, specifically increasing Treg cells and decreasing inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α.
  • The findings suggest that IL-37 may be a promising therapeutic option for preventing organ rejection, highlighting its role in immune regulation through pathways like p-mTOR.

Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy, particularly ageing-related muscular atrophy such as sarcopenia, is a significant health concern. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, and specific approved medications are currently unavailable. Deleted in breast cancer 1 (DBC1) is a well-known regulator of senescence, metabolism or apoptosis.

The ubiquitin-specific peptidase Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) has emerged as a potential oncogene in a variety of human cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying how ATXN3 achieves its tumorigenic functions remain largely undefined. Herein, we report that targeted deletion of the ATXN3 gene in cancer cells by the CRISPR-Cas9 system resulted in decreased protein expression of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) without altering its mRNA transcription.
