Malignant blastomas develop relentlessly in all functional body organs inflicting severe health ailments in younger children. Malignant blastomas exhibit diverse clinical characteristics in compliance with their emergence in functional body organs. Surprisingly, neither of these preferred treatment types (surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy) showed promise or were effective in treating malignant blastomas among child patients. N ew, innovative immunotherapeutic procedures including monoclonal antibodies and chimeric-antigen based receptor (CAR) cell therapy, coupled with the clinical study of reliable therapeutic targets and immune regulatory pathways targeting malignant blastomas, have attracted the attention of clinicians recently.

KRAS is a proto-oncogene that is found to be mutated in 15% of all metastatic cancers with high prevalence in pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancers. Additionally, patients harboring KRAS mutations respond poorly to standard cancer therapy. As a result, KRAS is seen as an attractive target for targeted anticancer therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health concern linked to liver disease and cancer, with research focusing on genetic factors that affect its evolution.
  • Recent studies highlighted the ECM1 gene, specifically two polymorphisms (rs3834087 and rs3754217), which may influence HBV pathogenesis, particularly in an African cohort analyzed in this research.
  • The study found that the heterozygous genotype of rs3754217 appears to protect against chronic hepatitis, suggesting that certain genetic variations may impact the severity of the disease in infected individuals.

Department of Integrative Medicine, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S23 (MRPS23), encoded by a nuclear gene, is a well-known driver of proliferation in cancer. It participates in mitochondrial protein translation, and its expression association has been explored in many types of cancer. However, MRPS23 expression associations are rarely reported in breast cancer (BC).

CircRNAs in extracellular vesicles associated with triple-negative breast cancer.

Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)

January 2025

Department of Biology, College of Science, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh-11623, Saudi Arabia.

Article Synopsis
  • Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of cancer that often spreads to distant sites in the body, and understanding how it metastasizes is crucial for treatment.
  • Exosomes, which are small extracellular vesicles that carry RNA molecules, play a significant role in TNBC metastasis and present new opportunities for diagnosing and treating the disease via liquid biopsy.
  • Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a subtype of noncoding RNAs found in exosomes, can influence gene expression and are abundant in EVs; they may enhance communication between cancer cells, thereby influencing TNBC progression and offering potential biomarkers for prognosis and monitoring.
