Studies of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tumor microenvironment, the most lethal gynecological cancer, aim to enhance the efficiency of established therapies. Cell motility is an important process of anti-tumor response. Using human and mouse HGSOC tumor slices combined with time-lapse imaging, we assessed the motility of CD8 T and myeloid cells. We developed a semi-supervised analysis of cell movements, identifying four cell behaviors: migrating, long migrating, static, and wobbling. Tumor slices were maintained 24h , retaining viability and cell movements. treatments with lipopolysaccharide altered CD8 T and myeloid cell behavior. chemotherapy reduced cell movements in human and mouse tumors and differentially affected CD8 T and myeloid cells in chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant mouse models. tumor slices can extend mouse studies to human, providing a stepping stone to translate mouse cancer studies to clinical trials.

Background: FFPE tissue samples are commonly used in biomedical research and are a valuable source for next-generation sequencing in oncology, however, extracting RNA from these samples can be difficult the quantity and quality achieved can impact the downstream analysis. This study compared the effectiveness of seven different commercially available RNA extraction kits specifically designed for use with FFPE samples in terms of the quantity and quality of RNA recovered.
Methods: This study used 9 samples of FFPE tissue from three different types of tissue (Tonsil, Appendix and lymph node of B-cell lymphoma) to evaluate RNA extraction methods.

Objectives: Radiotherapy manages pancreatic cancer in various settings; however, the proximity of gastrointestinal (GI) luminal organs-at-risk (OAR) poses challenges to conventional radiotherapy. Proton beam therapy (PBT) may reduce toxicities compared to photon therapy. This consensus statement summarizes PBT's safe and optimal delivery for pancreatic tumors.

Background: The authors report the first case of thoracic interdural spinal cysts presenting as radiculopathy attributed to overdrainage-related cervical venous plexus enlargement. This case emphasizes the importance of considering interdural spinal cysts and cerebrospinal fluid overdrainage in the differential diagnosis of radiculopathy.
Observations: A 37-year-old male patient with a history of orthostatic headache presented with bilateral deltoid muscle atrophy consistent with C5 radiculopathy.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) represents a revolutionary approach in molecular biology, providing unprecedented insights into the spatial organization of gene expression within tissues. This review aims to elucidate advancements in ST technologies, their computational tools, and their pivotal applications in neuroscience. It is begun with a historical overview, tracing the evolution from early image-based techniques to contemporary sequence-based methods.

Currently, radiation oncologists use margins to geometrically expand the visible tumor for radiation treatment planning in soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Image-based models of tumor progression would be critical to personalize the treatment radiation field to the pattern of sarcoma spread.
