Flax is an important crop used for oil and fiber production. Although genetic engineering has been possible in flax, it is not commonly used to produce cultivars. However, the use of genome editing technology, which can produce site-specific mutations without introducing foreign genes, may be a valuable tool for creating elite cultivars that can be easily cultivated.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is one of the fastest-growing cancers worldwide, lacking established causal factors or validated early diagnostics. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), comprising 8% of human genomes, have potential as PTC biomarkers due to their comparably high baseline expression in healthy thyroid tissues, indicating homeostatic roles. However, HERV regions are often overlooked in genome-wide association studies because of their highly repetitive nature, low sequence coverage, and decreased sequencing quality.

Introduction: Osimertinib is now a standard first-line (1L) therapy for EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced NSCLC. We aimed to characterize patterns of therapy and longitudinal risk of brain and liver metastasis in a cohort of EGFRm NSCLC.
Methods: Patients with metastatic EGFRm NSCLC who received 1L systemic therapy at sites within the Academic Thoracic Medical Investigator's Consortium were included; demographic and clinical data including treatment patterns were described.
Objective: this retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of BRCA mutational status on the outcomes of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with either primary debulking surgery (PDS) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS). Material and a total of 79 patients with stage III-IV ovarian cancer treated at Elias Emergency University Hospital between January 2014 and March 2024 were included. Patients received either PDS followed by chemotherapy or NACT-IDS.

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a lethal form of gynecological malignancy. Some EOC patients experience relapse after standard primary debulking surgery (PDS) and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). Identifying molecular residual disease (MRD) by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection can timely signal the potential for relapse.
