While the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise worldwide, with 537 million adults aged 20-79-years-old having diabetes in 2021, the development of new therapeutic classes improving not only glycemic control but also kidney function and cardiovascular prevention has revolutionized patient care. Today, the treatment of diabetes is no longer just the treatment of blood sugar level. In this context, the individualized therapeutic strategy has been completely reviewed, with in particular sulfamides indicated much later in the therapeutic strategy, while SGLT2 inhibitors are indicated very early in patients with kidney disease and/or with ischemic heart disease or chronic heart failure, and GLP-1 analogues in obese patients and/or in primary or secondary cardiovascular prevention. As for lifestyle rules and metformin, they remain the cornerstone of treatment. Knowledge of antidiabetic effects in terms of efficacy and hypoglycemic risk, of cardiovascular, nephroprotective and weight effects is essential to optimize the management of diabetic patients today.

Breast cancers of the IntClust-2 type, characterized by amplification of a small portion of chromosome 11, have a median survival of only five years. Several cancer-relevant genes occupy this portion of chromosome 11, and it is thought that overexpression of a combination of driver genes in this region is responsible for the poor outcome of women in this group. In this study we used a gene editing method to knock out, one by one, each of 198 genes that are located within the amplified region of chromosome 11 and determined how much each of these genes contributed to the survival of breast cancer cells.

Purpose: Therapeutic efficacy of KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors (KRASG12Ci) in KRASG12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) varies widely. The activation status of RAS signaling in tumors with KRASG12C mutation remains unclear, as its ability to cycle between the active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states may influence downstream pathway activation and therapeutic responses. We hypothesized that the interaction between RAS and its downstream effector RAF in tumors may serve as indicators of RAS activity, rendering NSCLC tumors with a high degree of RAS engagement and downstream effects more responsive to KRASG12Ci compared to tumors with lower RAS---RAF interaction.

Aging is an inevitable physiological process in organisms, and the development of tumors is closely associated with cellular senescence. This article initially examines the role of cellular senescence in tumorigenesis, emphasizing the correlation between telomere length-a marker of cellular senescence-and tumor risk. Concurrently, the study explores the expression levels of senescence-associated markers, such as p16, p53, and mTOR, in the context of tumor development.

Chemotherapy resistance (CR) represents one of the most important barriers to effective oncological therapy and often leads to ineffective intervention and unfavorable clinical prognosis. Emerging studies have emphasized the vital significance of extracellular RNA (exRNA) in influencing CR. This thorough assessment intends to explore the multifaceted contributions of exRNA, such as exosomal RNA, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, to CR in cancer.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non-LCH characterized by excessive accumulation of histiocytes in various tissues, leading to significant morbidity. The estimated prevalence of ECD is low, with fewer than 1000 cases reported globally, yet it presents considerable clinical challenges due to its heterogeneous manifestations, which include bone pain, cardiovascular complications, and neurological symptoms. Traditional treatment approaches, primarily involving corticosteroids and chemotherapy, have limitations, including inconsistent responses and significant side effects.
