Heterotopic glial nodule is a rare congenital non-neoplastic lesion that is characterized by ectopic brain tissue. It has occasionally been reported to affect areas such as the nose and face. The report presents a rare case of sacrococcygeal heterotopic glial nodule. Although teratomas are the most common neoplasms in this region, clinicians and radiologists should consider heterotopic glial nodule as a differential diagnosis, despite rarity and nonspecific imaging findings. Histopathology plays a crucial role in diagnosis, which intensely stains with glial fibrillary acidic protein and S-100.

Enhanced Bone Regeneration by Schwann Cells through Coupling of Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis via β-catenin signaling in a Preclinical Model of Distraction Osteogenesis.
Int J Med Sci

Article Synopsis
- The prolonged use of external fixation during distraction osteogenesis (DO) can heighten complications, while bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) play a crucial role in bone regeneration due to their pro-angiogenic and osteogenic abilities.
- RSC-96, a type of Schwann cell, has been shown to promote the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of BMSCs when co-cultured, enhancing both bone formation and blood vessel development through neurotrophic factor secretion and activation of specific signaling pathways.
- In a rat DO model, RSC-96's conditioned medium improved bone healing outcomes, with notable increases in gene expression markers for osteogenesis and angiogenesis, alongside positive radiological and biomechanical assessments.
Coexisting growing teratoma syndrome and gliomatosis peritonei following ovarian immature teratoma: a case report and literature review.

Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is characterized by a reduction in serum tumor markers despite the growth of a benign mature teratomatous mass following chemotherapy for germ cell tumors. Gliomatosis peritonei (GP) typically accompanies ovarian teratomas, marked by the dissemination of mature glial tissue across the peritoneum. The concurrent presence of GTS and GP after treatment for ovarian immature teratoma (IMT) is notably rare, with approximately 20 reported cases.

Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumors of the cerebrum (MVNTs) are rare, seizure-related, low-grade tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) which usually affect young adults. First described by Huse et al. in 2013, these neoplasms are usually located within the deep cortical ribbon and the superficial white matter and have a characteristic cytoarchitecture of cells with neuronal and glial differentiation that form multiple nodules with conspicuous vacuolation.

The European hedgehog () is a protected species of conservation concern in the UK. In recent years, there have been multiple incidents of fatal encephalitis in captive hedgehogs in wildlife rescue centers associated with the molecular detection of a hedgehog arterivirus (HhAV-1). However, it remains unclear whether the virus is the causative agent of the central nervous system (CNS) lesions.

Article Synopsis
- *This study examined brain samples from 70 rabid dogs, finding high presence of Negri bodies in the hippocampus (87.14%) and cerebrum (70%), with distinct characteristics in those regions compared to the thalamus and brainstem.
- *The research highlighted that detecting Negri bodies in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex can aid in rabies diagnosis, while immunohistochemistry showed high sensitivity for identifying rabies virus antigens in all brain regions studied.
