Article Synopsis
  • Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common cancer among women and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths due to advanced stages and treatment resistance.
  • Researchers investigated the role of an epigenetic regulator, polycomb repressor complex 1 (PRC1), specifically focusing on the subunit CBX2, which is found to be increased in cervical cancer and linked to poor patient outcomes.
  • The study revealed that CBX2 enhances cancer cell growth, provides resistance to treatments like cisplatin and radiation, and helps maintain cancer stem cell properties, suggesting it could be a key factor for cervical cancer prognosis and a potential target for future therapies.

A Dual-Branch Residual Network with Attention Mechanisms for Enhanced Classification of Vaginal Lesions in Colposcopic Images.

Bioengineering (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ren Ji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200030, China.

Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN), linked to HPV infection, is a condition that is often overlooked during colposcopy, especially in the vaginal vault area, as clinicians tend to focus more on cervical lesions. This oversight can lead to missed or delayed diagnosis and treatment for patients with VAIN. Timely and accurate classification of VAIN plays a crucial role in the evaluation of vaginal lesions and the formulation of effective diagnostic approaches.

Consensus on the lung cancer management after third-generation EGFR-TKI resistance.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac

December 2024

Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer in the Asia-Pacific region, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) making up about 85% of cases, and a significant mutation rate of 40-60% in Asian patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
  • Third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have improved treatment for NSCLC with mutations, but managing resistance to these drugs is still a major issue with no standardized guidelines.
  • A set of recommendations has been developed, integrating international guidelines and regional clinical experiences, to help healthcare providers classify resistance, conduct clinical testing, and devise treatment strategies for patients struggling with resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKIs.

Bone tissue is a biological composite material with a complex hierarchical structure that could continuously adjust its internal structure to adapt to the alterations in the external load environment. The fluid flow within bone is the main route of osteocyte metabolism, and the pore pressure as well as the fluid shear stress generated by it are important mechanical stimuli perceived by osteocytes. Owing to the irregular multiscale structure of bone tissue, the fluid stimulation that lacunar-canalicular network (LCN) in different regions of the tissue underwent remained unclear.
