Introduction Or Background: Clear cell meningioma is a rare WHO grade 2 tumour and runs an aggressive course. Tyrosine crystals are very uncommon in meningioma.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 43-year female with right middle and posterior cranial fossa space occupying lesion (SOL) diagnosed as clear cell meningioma with presence of numerous tyrosine crystals.
Discussion And Conclusion: Whether these crystals are incidentally noted or if there is an actual relationship of these crystals with tumour environment must be found as they are seen in many other conditions too.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly malignant tumor characterized by a significant propensity for recurrence and metastasis. DNA methylation has emerged as a critical epigenetic mechanism with substantial utility in cancer diagnosis. In this study, multi-omics data were utilized to investigate the target genes regulated by the transcription factor MYC-associated zinc finger protein (MAZ) in ccRCC, leading to the identification of thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) as a gene with notably elevated expression in ccRCC.

Objective: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a novel precision radiotherapy. The key to BNCT application lies in the effective targeting and retention of the boron-10 (B) carrier. Among the various compounds studied in clinical settings, 4-boronophenylalanine (BPA) become the most prevalent one currently.

Background: The use of local consolidative therapy (LCT) in patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving, with a preponderance of data supporting the benefits of such therapeutic approaches incorporating pulmonary resection for appropriately selected candidates. However, practices vary widely institutionally and regionally, and evidence-based guidelines are lacking.
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons assembled a panel of thoracic surgical oncologists to evaluate and synthesize the available evidence regarding the role of pulmonary resection as LCT.

The global changes from 2001 that elevated substantially modified cell therapies to the definition of "medicinal product" have been the catalyst for the dramatic expansion of the field to its current and future commercial success. Europe was the first to incorporate human somatic cells into drug legislation with the medicines directive of 2001 (2001/83/EC), which led to the development of the term "advanced therapy medicinal products" (ATMPs) to cover all substantially modified products, tissue-engineered products and somatic cells that are not substantially modified but that are used non-homologously. For convenience, I use the term "ATMPs" throughout this review.

Ribosomal S6 protein kinase 4 (RSK4), a member of the serine‒threonine kinase family, plays a vital role in the Ras‒MAPK pathway. This kinase is responsible for managing several cellular activities, including cell growth, proliferation, survival, and mobility. In this study, we observed higher RSK4 protein expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) than in normal kidney tissue, and the overexpression of RSK4 might predict poor outcomes for ccRCC patients.
