Published: October 2024

(1) Background: Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) are pivotal in post-translational modifications, influencing various cellular processes, such as protein localization, stability, and genome integrity. (2) Methods: This review explores the SUMO family, including its isoforms and catalytic cycle, highlighting their significance in regulating key biological functions in thyroid cancer. We discuss the multifaceted roles of SUMOylation in DNA repair mechanisms, protein stability, and the modulation of receptor activities, particularly in the context of thyroid cancer. (3) Results: The aberrant SUMOylation machinery contributes to tumorigenesis through altered gene expression and immune evasion mechanisms. Furthermore, we examine the therapeutic potential of targeting SUMOylation pathways in thyroid cancer treatment, emphasizing the need for further research to develop effective SUMOylation inhibitors. (4) Conclusions: By understanding the intricate roles of SUMOylation in cancer biology, we can pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes for patients with advanced tumors.

In this study, we identified cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) molecular subtypes and developed a CAF-based prognostic model for breast cancer (BRCA). The heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and their significant involvement in the advancement of BRCA were discovered employing single-cell RNA sequencing. Notably, we discovered that the RUNX1/SDC1 axis enhances BRCA cell invasion and metastasis.

Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy that requires comprehensive clinical evaluation prior to adequate surgical management. Over the last three decades thyroid surgery has tripled and is considered one of the most commonly performed procedures in general surgery. These procedures are associated with potential postoperative complications with significant deterioration in the patient's quality of life.

Objective: Differentiated thyroid cancers tend to excellent long-term survival after surgery. However, Locally Advanced Papillary Thyroid Cancers (LAPTCs) have poor prognosis. This study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features of LAPTC and the risk factors that affect its postoperative recurrence.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive neurobehavioral condition characterized by disruption of behavioral and emotional patterns in individuals with this condition. Given that various environmental and genetic factors play a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of ASD, it can be said that ASD is a multifaceted disease. This study used scientific databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Semantic Scholar.

Background: Few studies have examined childbirth and adverse perinatal outcomes among male adolescents and young adults with cancer (AYAs, diagnosed at age 15-39 years). We conducted a population-based assessment of these outcomes in a large, diverse sample.

Methods: Male AYAs diagnosed between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2015 were identified using the Texas Cancer Registry and linked to live birth certificates and the Texas Birth Defects Registry through December 31, 2016.
