Diadelophora gen. nov, a conspicuous new genus of phorid flies is described based on two species from central and western Brazil, D. stilbella sp. nov. and D. inornata sp. nov. The new genus is positioned in the Thaumatoxena-group within the subfamily Phorinae, probably as sister group to Hypocerides Schmitz, 1915. The diagnostic features of Diadelophora are commented and illustrated, and the genus differences to Hypocerides are highlighted. The morphology of Diadelophora species is explored in detail with SEM, photos, and optical microscopy illustrations of structures of taxonomic relevance and other curious features of the genus.

Objective: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a monogenetic disorder associated with sustained mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation, leading to heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Epilepsy and renal angiomyolipoma are the most important causes of morbidity in adult people with TSC (pwTSC). mTOR is a key player in inflammation, which in turn could influence TSC-related clinical manifestations.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with advanced stages posing significant treatment challenges. Although hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has emerged as a promising modality for treating advanced HCC, particularly in Asian clinical practice, its adoption in Western medicine remains limited due to a lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials. This editorial reviews and comments on the meta-analysis conducted by Zhou , which evaluates the efficacy and safety of HAIC and its combination strategies for advanced HCC.

Background: Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), FAS-associated protein with death domain (FADD), and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) have been shown to be associated with the development of prostate cancer (PCa). FADD has been shown to activate the NF-κB pathway to promote tumorigenesis, while SPOP has been shown to enhance the breakdown of FADD and inhibit the function of the NF-κB signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer. The existence of this mechanism has not yet been confirmed in PCa.
