Introduction: Housewives are a population at high risk of breast cancer due to repeated or chronic exposure to stress. Prevention in a simple yet evidence-based manner is needed.
Methods: This study is a narrative review of the potential of massage as breast cancer prevention through stress and immune system mechanisms.
Results: Massage is able to prevent chronic stress through improved sleep and fatigue and lower stress levels. Prevention of chronic stress will maximize the function of cells that eliminate cancer cells, such as B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, and improve the balance of Foxp3 Tregulator cells. Partnered delivery massage will bring effective benefits for stress reduction.
Conclusions: Massage can provide indirect prevention of breast cancer, and partnered delivery massage can be a good choice to reduce stress.

In this study, we explored the intricate relationship between Pannexin 1 (PANX1) and the Hippo signaling pathway effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP). Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data revealed a significant positive correlation between PANX1 mRNA and core Hippo components, Yes-associated protein 1 [YAP], Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif [TAZ], and Hippo scaffold, Ras GTPase-activating-like protein IQGAP1 [IQGAP1], in invasive cutaneous melanoma and breast carcinoma. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PANX1 expression is upregulated in invasive melanoma cell lines and is associated with increased YAP protein levels.

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) demonstrate outstanding biocompatibility and optical properties, making them ideal for monitoring cellular uptake. Due to their ultra-small size (typically < 10 nm) and fluorescent nature, CQDs hold significant potential as nanoparticles for bioimaging and tracking intracellular processes. The study examined the optimization parameters for conjugating calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) to CQDs to facilitate Ct-DNA internalization in mouse fibroblast cells (L929) and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7).

Breast cancer metastasizing to the central nervous system (CNS) encompasses two distinct entities: brain metastases involving the cerebral parenchyma and infiltration of the leptomeningeal space, i.e., leptomeningeal disease.
