Most readers will be familiar with terminology (from meetings and conferences) that we, the editors, would deem to be incorrect or confusing. In general, we all tend to accept the information conveyed to us without really questioning what the terms truly mean. Therefore, the subsequent chapters discussing the IOLs in question should be studied with this in mind since a lot of familiar terminology will be used in those chapters, which, strictly speaking, may not be in line with the most accurate terminology and classification. The reader is encouraged to read this full article to be mindful of the current confusion surrounding IOL terminology and what the correct terminology should be. This is so that one is better prepared to understand and question the mechanism of action and side effects of IOLs that one is planning to use.

While the role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumorigenesis, chemoresistance, metastasis, and relapse has been extensively studied in solid tumors, such as adenocarcinomas or sarcomas, the same cannot be said for neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). While lagging, CSCs have been described in numerous NENs, including gastrointestinal and pancreatic NENs (PanNENs), and they have been found to play critical roles in tumor initiation, progression, and treatment resistance. However, it seems that there is still skepticism regarding the role of CSCs in NENs, even in light of studies that support the CSC model in these tumors and the therapeutic benefits of targeting them.

Prebiotics are becoming increasingly recognized by consumers, health care professionals and regulators as important contributors to health. Nonetheless, the development, progress, and adoption of prebiotics is hindered by loose terminology, various misconceptions about sources and types of compounds that may be classified as prebiotics, and the lack of consensus on a definition that satisfies regulators. Evolving knowledge of the microbiome and its effects on host health has generated opportunities for modulation of the microbiota that can support host health.
