The nervous system governs both ontogeny and oncology. Foundational discoveries have clarified the direct communication of neurotransmitters with tumors and indirect interactions through neural effects on the immune system and the tumor microenvironment. Meantime, the nervous system is susceptible to cancer and its treatment. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common side effects that significantly reduce the efficacy of anti-cancer treatment and patients' quality of life by leading to dose reduction or early cessation of chemotherapy. However, there are no effective strategies to reverse or treat CIPN. A better understanding of the mechanisms is expected to enable the development of the next generation of therapies. Here, we summarize the recent important studies on clinical manifestations, risk factors, prediction, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of CIPN. We also provide perspectives and insights regarding the rationales of bidirectional interactions between cancer and the nervous system.

Ophthalmol Ther

January 2025

Dr. Rolf M. Schwiete Center for Limbal Stem Cell and Congenital Aniridia Research, Saarland University, Homburg, Saar, Germany.

Introduction: Congenital aniridia is increasingly recognized as part of a complex syndrome with numerous ocular developmental anomalies and non-ocular systemic manifestations. This requires comprehensive care and treatment of affected patients. Our purpose was to analyze systemic diseases in patients with congenital aniridia within the Homburg Aniridia Registry.

Gastrointestinal lesions of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: a prediction model and clinical patterns.

Arthritis Res Ther

January 2025

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the Ministry of Education Key Laboratory, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases, Beijing, China.

Objective: Severe gastrointestinal lesions are associated with a poor prognosis in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). The goal of this study was to develop an effective predictive model for gastrointestinal lesions and to examine clinical patterns, associated factors, treatment, and outcomes of gastrointestinal lesions in EGPA.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 165 EGPA patients.

Habituation of the biological response to repeated psychosocial stress: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Neurosci Biobehav Rev

January 2025

Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Philipps University Marburg, Rudolf-Bultmann-Str. 8, 35039 Marburg, Germany; Center for Mind, Brain and Behaviour, Philipps University Marburg, Hans-Meerwein-Str. 6, 35032 Marburg, Germany. Electronic address:

Recurrent psychosocial stress poses a significant health challenge, prompting research into mechanisms of successful adaptation. Physiological habituation, defined as decreased reactivity to repeated stressors, is pivotal in protecting the organism from allostatic load. Here, we systematically review and meta-analyze data from studies investigating the capacity of central stress systems to habituate when repeatedly exposed to a standardized psychosocial stressor, the Trier Social Stress Test (k=47).

The temporal control of mitotic exit of individual Schwann cells (SCs) is essential for radial sorting and peripheral myelination. However, it remains unknown when, during their multiple rounds of division, SCs initiate myelin signaling in vivo. By manipulating SC division during development, we report that when SCs skip their division during migration, but not during radial sorting, they fail to myelinate peripheral axons.
