Connective tissue tumours represent a significant group among biopsied skin lesions and manifest a wide range of morphological patterns. While the majority are easily diagnosed, notably most fibrous histiocytomas and neural lesions, a proportion pose considerable diagnostic difficulty. With the increasing recognition and characterisation of previously undescribed entities within the family of soft tissue tumours in recent years, the number of unclassifiable lesions should diminish. The ultimate aim of accurate recognition and classification is to provide appropriate clinical care based on reasoned prediction of a given lesion's behaviour. With this in mind, we wish to briefly review herein some of the more recently characterised dermal connective tissue lesions, including plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour, cellular fibrous histiocytoma, spindle celled atypical fibroxanthoma, adult myofibroma, dermatomyofibroma, so-called cellular neurothekeoma, ectopic meningothelial hamartoma, tufted angioma, sinusoidal haemangioma and bacillary angiomatosis.

Epithelial cell diversity and immune remodeling in bladder cancer progression: insights from single-cell transcriptomics.
J Transl Med

Department of Urology, First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China.
Background: The progression of bladder cancer (BC) from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) significantly increases disease severity. Although the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in this process, the heterogeneity of tumor cells and TME components remains underexplored.
Methods: We characterized the transcriptomes of single cells from 11 BC samples, including 4 NMIBC, 4 MIBC, and 3 adjacent normal tissues.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a commonly observed malignant tumor in orthopedics that has a very poor prognosis. The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is important for the development and progression of cancer and may be a significant target for cancer therapy. First, we built a prognostic signature using 7 ESCRT-related genes (ERGs) to predict OS patient prognosis.

Background: Drug resistance constitutes one of the principal causes of poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. Although cancer cells can maintain viability independently of mitochondrial energy metabolism, they remain reliant on mitochondrial functions for the synthesis of new DNA strands. This dependency underscores a potential link between mitochondrial energy metabolism and drug resistance.

Background: CD3 + CD20 + T cells (T cells) are a subset of lymphocytes in the human body that are associated with inflammation. They originate from T cells interacting with B cells, and their levels are abnormally elevated in individuals with immune disorders, as well as in some cancer patients. The interplay between tumor immunity and inflammation is intricate, yet the specific involvement of T cells in local tumor immunity remains uncertain, with limited research on their subtypes.

Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy intensification (ADTi) with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI), docetaxel or both has been shown to improve survival outcomes in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Currently, baseline tumor genomic markers have no role in clinical decision-making in patients with mHSPC.
Methods: In this IRB-approved retrospective study, patients diagnosed with mHSPC who underwent comprehensive genomic profiling from primary tissue or metastatic sites and treated with ADTi were included.
