AI Article Synopsis

  • - An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder (IMTUB) is a rare type of tumor that primarily appears in the urinary bladder.
  • - This tumor most commonly occurs in the lungs and in visceral adipose tissue (body fat around organs).
  • - Histological examination shows that IMTUB is made up of myofibroblasts, inflammatory cells, and leukocytes.

Article Abstract

An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder (IMTUB) is a rare tumor. The most common localization is in the lung and visceral adipose tissue. Histologically, it is represented by myofibroblasts, inflammatory cells and leukocytes.

Identification of the molecular characterization and tumor microenvironment of thoracic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors.

Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), rare soft tissue neoplasms, are characterized by a blend of myofibroblastic proliferation and inflammatory features. While generally characterized by slow growth, IMTs can exhibit locally aggressive behavior, and in rare instances, metastasize to distant sites. This study elucidated the clinical characteristics, molecular profile, and tumor microenvironment of thoracic IMTs.

NLRP3: a key regulator of skin wound healing and macrophage-fibroblast interactions in mice.

Cell Commun Signal

January 2025

Laboratory of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, No. 306, Zhaowuda Road, Hohhot, 010018, China.

Wound healing is a highly coordinated process driven by intricate molecular signaling and dynamic interactions between diverse cell types. Nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) has been implicated in the regulation of inflammation and tissue repair; however, its specific role in skin wound healing remains unclear. This study highlights the pivotal role of NLRP3 in effective skin wound healing, as demonstrated by delayed wound closure and altered cellular and molecular responses in NLRP3-deficient (NLRP3) mice.

Fibrosis in PCLS: comparing TGF-β and fibrotic cocktail.

Respir Res

January 2025

Department for Pulmonary Medicine, Allergology and Clinical Immunology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.

Introduction: Fibrotic cocktail (FC) is a combination of pro-fibrotic and pro-inflammatory mediators that induces early fibrotic changes in organotypic lung models. We hypothesised that transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) alone induces a pro-fibrotic effect similar to FC. Our aim was to compare the pro-fibrotic effects of TGF-β1 with FC in human precision-cut lung slices (PCLS).

A splenic inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT) is a rare condition in which inflammatory cells and non-cancerous specialised cells known as myofibroblasts abnormally replicate in the spleen. Patients with IPT may experience symptoms like abdominal pain, fever and weight loss, making it difficult to distinguish from processes like cancer. As a result, diagnosing IPT often requires imaging studies and microscopic examination.

New insights into persistent corneal subepithelial infiltrates following epidemic keratoconjunctivitis: The first case report with ultrastructural and immunohistochemical investigations.

Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is one of the most severe clinical manifestations of human adenovirus ocular surface infection, which may lead to the formation of subepithelial infiltrates (SEIs) in the anterior corneal stroma in 20-50 % of cases. SEIs may be asymptomatic or give rise to corneal aberrations and visual impairment for months or years after acute infection, despite treatments. Here, we describe the ultrastructural and immunophenotypic features of the anterior corneal stroma of a patient who underwent superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) surgery to remove corneal opacities related to clinically significant and steroid-unresponsive, long-lasting SEIs after adenoviral EKC.
